So cute...

It has been a short time since my last post...last two past, infact. I am going to try and do better and be more prompt on my updates...it seems at times that he is learning so much that I can't keep up with it all. Therefore, before we get to pictures, let me tell you what he is now doing. First, I know my son is being raised in a different century than I because whenever I take video of him using the camera, he comes over to the camera and wants to see himself...numerouse times. Kegan also know what the computer is and gets excited when it turns on - I think he is hopeing to see that disgusting little farting dino's video. He really likes to mimic Matthew and my actions - this has been going on for a while but it is still fun to see the new things he picks up and tries to do. For instnace, he likes to try and help carry his diaper bag of lunch box and he likes to try and pick up Matthew's computer case...it is vary heavy...so he usually just pushes it around. Kegan has also leanred how to open all the doors around the house...I think he has known for a while he is just finally tall enough to reach the handles. This has made things interesting and we have to be carefull now to keep doors locked that we want to keep him out of. I would say his taste-buds have been a bit more picky too, but that just may be a phase or he might be getting a new toothe. Biggest news....I would say he now tries to walk 95% of the time...crawling is used as a last resort and when he first gets up and the morning and he is a bit sleepy to be consentrating on balance. With ALL this walking has come lots of bumps, scratches, and bruises...but he is getting to much better. Oh yes...he is also trying out new sounds when he talks. It is very funny he will look at me sometimes with the most seriouse look and just start talking...he is really trying to say something. It sounds something like, "Ya...ba...da..daa..ba..da..ba..da..ba...." and so on....with voice inflection and everything. I will try to get it on filmif I have my camera with me when he does it....it is very cute. One more thing - he likes to walk around holding his toys and brings them to me...like he is inviting me to play with him. What a joy...he keeps my laughing!

OK-on to pictures!
Remember how I said he likes the computer - well he will somtimes climb on Matthew's computer carrier and stand on it trying to see on top of the counter, to the lap-top.
Steping up...

Getting his balance...

Giving mom a rasberry...

Oh yes...not only has Kegan learned how to open all the doors to the house he has figured out how to open the doors on the entertainment center. Oh...what new challenges that has brought us!

Checking things out...

ugh-oh.....

being silly

What big eyes!


These next few pictures are from Kegan this morning...I think they are SOOO cute...that is where the title fo this post came from!
He had been awake for just a while and was still holding onto his blankie as he walked around the house.

I LOVE this picture of him. I think it is my new favorite! Is that not the most ADORABLE little smile and face...ohhh...make my heart melt!

This is one other thing that Kegan can do. He will smile when you ask him to. Is this not the typical kid...smile on command face...I love it.


Once again...riding high on a tractor with his daddy when we went to eat lunch at the fields, with Matthew, today.

After a fun afternoon of going to Shannon's baby shower and running arrends with Grandma, Aunt Stephani, and mommy...and getting a little messy with Grandma's drink...Kegan loves just hanging out in his diaper...and his shoes and socks.

Thursday: 2-14-08 HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
(Notice the shirt...A heart cowboy lassoing the words "I stole mommy's heart"...that he certainly has!!! How couls he not with a face as cute as this....)

What a pose as he walks under the table!

Kegan loves his tractor book and when he is done reading he loves to sleep!

Kegan loving the park...again...this time loving the wheel...

What a look!

I thought this was a cute pose...and I love it!

After him and daddy took me out to lunch he took a great nap and then we went to get a hair cut. Kegan was really loving his thirday hair-cut. He LOVED the grape flavored sucker he got after the haircute even more! It was like a big fish pulling on the end of your live...that is how hard he was sucking on the sucker while I was holding the stick for him.

Kegan loves to go visit Grandma and Grandpa. His mouth is shut becuase he is making a "mmmmm" sound for the sound the little cow makes...so cute to hear him!

Kegan still loves getting gifts and getting to open them!

Kegan loves boxes...especially if they have cookies inside!!!

Yummy! He would not take his hand out of that box for a long time! He even tried to walk around the table while keeping his hand in the box...with the cookies!

Friday: 2-15-08
Kegan loves playing in the water! (He did not so much love the doctors visit and shots later on that morning.)


Saturday: 2-16-08
We all got up very early and headed up to San Antonio took look around and to go to the rodeo finals that night.
Kegan LOVED looking at...and riding on the old restored tractors! He saw them and started getting very excited and saying "traca"...his word for tractor.


Checking out the animals in the children's area.

Kegan and daddy, "Pig-ture Perfect"
Kegan did great and loved the 3 1/2 to 4 hour nap he took cuddled in his daddy's jacket, while walking around all the exhibits.

Loving the view from inside the at&t center, where the rodeo was...oh yes, he also LOVES this green blanket!


Kegan LOVES his daddy!



And he LOVES his Mommy!

He did great and stayed awake for the entire rodio...which lasted till 10:00 pm! He really liked looking at the horses and cows...what a place to be...the arena was full of those...haha!

Monday: 2-18-08
Kegan, once again, loving time out on the farm.
He also still loves to eat dirt...YUCK!

Kegan is finally as of the middle of last week, stating to like to walk more...further distances...more often...all over the place....everywhere..... Well, with this new enjoyment in walking came his first bad fall...and worst injury so far in his 15mths. He was walking outside, at church, Sunday night and fell on the concrete. He scraped his nose a little and under his nose quite a bit. I felt horrible becuase I did not think it was too, bad (he falls often) till I saw the blood...poor baby was not happy.
(Pictures from today, the day after the fall.)
Far away...
Upclose...
Finally...but these pictures certainly did not show all the Kegan loved...just a few things...but he does indeed love to feed his belly...specifially fruits and breads...
I had opened the door to get out some stuff for dinner and he decided to climb in when I turned away...(Oh yes...he also learned today that he was capable of opening the door to the freezer...which he did, multiple times)
Reaching up for the fruit.
Caught!
Brief update:
*Walking: As I said - more steady, often, places...
*Talking: Has said baby (there was one in the church nursary) and bye...not consistent, but has said each a few times. Learned "rock" and has kept it up after one of the days out at the farm.
*15 mth. update from the doctor: Looking good and healthy. 23 pounds 13 ounces; 32 inces long, developmentally on track.
