Happy 9 Months

Keagan turned 9 months old on Monday. Time is going by so quickly. Today was his 9 month check up. He weighs 19.5lbs and is 28 1/2 inches! He is in the 30 % for weight and the 60% for his height. The Dr. said that he will probably always be thinner and taller!! I laughed when he said taller. I wondered taller than what? me. I hope so! He is progressing really well. Here are some new things that he is up to:

He can stand alone for a few seconds at a time

loves to "read" books and he has a favorite book

He can pull up on the sofa and walk along the edge

loves country music..he signs along to the radio

likes to put things in and out of a box

Since Keagan has hit the 9 month mark it makes me realize how fast his birthday is approaching. I have already started planing his first birthday party. NO, its not to early! :) I am constantly asking Sean what he thinks about this or that. If you know Sean you know he will make a spreadsheet for all the birthday details. Now for a few pictures! Enjoy.

sombody was really tired!

Keagan was on a nap strike the last two weeks. We hate to do it but sometimes we have to let him cry it out. Sean and I both dislike doing this but sometimes it the only thing that will work. I guess judging by the picture he gave up mid cry! Poor baby!

Fathers Day

Seans first Fathers day was a very special one. On Sunday we had Keagan baptised at our church. Most of my family came in from out of town to witness this special event in Keagan's life. My mother made the baptismal gown that Keagan wore. She did such an amazing job. The gown is a keepsake that I will use for each one of my children and hopefully it will be passed down to my grandchildren. It was a really beautiful service and Keagan did great! He didn't cry at all and handled the water being poured on his head like a champ. We are very proud of him! We want to thank everyone who came and shared in his special day!

My new playhouse

Sean let me order this cute little playhouse for baby! It has a cute little garden and mailbox!

Keagan and Sugar

Of all of our dogs Sugar is Keagans favorite. They are best buddies. I think the friendship is strongly based on food. If food is involved then Sugar is sure to be there. Lately I have found them "sharing" graham crackers! Keagan will leave little crumbs behind, Sugar waits until he is done and then cleans up. When I'm rocking Keagan during the day Sugar will come in and climb in the rocker with me. All of the dogs are so sweet with him. Bear will grab a piece of dog food and bring it to Keagan. I of course quickly grab the dog food before it gets into his mouth. But the whole thing is really cute. Here are a few pictures of Sugar and Keagan "sharing".

My two boys

I love them both so much!

Somebody likes watermelon!! Yummy!

We feel ickey cause we are sickey!

Keagan developed a cold late last week and wouldn't you know I caught it!! Runny nose, coughing, sore throat and an ear infection. Boo! I haven't felt this bad in a long time. We are both on antibiotics and decongestants. So far Sean is safe. Keep your fingers crossed he stays well, we need someone to take care of us!

Despite Keagan feeling under the weather he has really started to show an intrest in crawling. He uses his elbows to pull himself across the floor. He has also started to get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. I have a feeling that he will be really moving soon.
