Summertime

Summer is one of my favorite seasons. I love warm summer nights, swimming and eating yummy ripe tomatoes. Keagan and I have been spending a lot of time outdoors, mainly in the morning before it gets to hot. Every morning we go for a walk around the neighborhood and then come back to water all the plants. He loves to "help" me water. I will spray the hose over the pool and he laughs at the fountain that mama has made. Some mornings we will walk down to the park behind our neighborhood. He loves to swing and go down the slide with me. I can't wait till he starts walking so we can really play in the park. Sean was able to go with us to the park one night this week and we had the best time.

I found this cute little car at my favorite kids resale store Kid to Kid! Only 22.00 dollars! What a deal! Keagan LOVES riding in it. He holds onto the steering wheel and honks the horn. He will crawl over to his car when it is "parked" inside and climb in. It is easier than taking the stroller and he enjoys it. Don't laugh at his big hat I didn't want him to get sunburned! Sean said he looked like the Gordan's fisherman!

putting on my face..

I Love a good bargain! I found this website that I am in love with. http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ Everything is a dollar!! Well almost everything. I had my doubts but after I received my order I am sold! The brushes are great and they also have mineral makeup! Check it out!

Shiner

Poor Keagan has a boo boo on his right eye. While playing in his house he spotted a graham cracker. He leaned over to grab his cracker and took a header into his playhouse! I looked over and his little feet were kicking in the air and his face was smashed into the carpet. He thought the whole thing was really funny. I was of course overly worried that he may have broken his neck or something else terrible. He proudly wiggled himself up and with a big smile, took a big bite of his cracker! Silly boy!

Keagan's hair has really started growing. For awhile he had very thin hair and we were afraid that he might be going bald. Over the past few months his hair has really gotten long. His hair is pretty flat most of the time due to his helmet. After his bath or when he gets out of the pool is when you see all the curls. His hair just so cute! Here are a few pictures of him being silly before bedtime.

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!
