A quick run down on the past 3 months - yes 3 months already - time has gone by SOOO fast. Kegan was born on November 14, 2006, at 11:01 in the morning. He weighed in at 6lbs. 10 oz. and was a little over 19 inches long. Now he is over 12 lbs. and longer than 23 inches.
I have had the joy of staying home with my little man for the past 3 months to watch him grow and I have enjoyed EVERY minute - some more than others (middle of the night feedings for those first couple of months were not my favorite - but still a time to cherish). During this time I have seen him go from not being able to control his wobbling head to now being able to hold it up for a little bit on his own. He can lift his upper body of the ground and has rolled from his stomach to his back 7 times - although he has not done it in about 2 weeks. I think he did his trick for me and then got board with it. :) Kegan has started smiling ALOT and talking to us - loudly usually - not crying, just talking loudly. I wonder who he gets that from???? He makes these sounds like he is saying "ok", "hey" and "hello". I think it is because he can make the "o" shape with his mouth real well.
He found his hands, although I do not know if he knows exactly what they are yet, but he loves to put them in his mouth and swing them around. There are so many other things that he has learned and discovered. IT has been amazing to watch this little creation of God discover the world around him. Every day is something new and exciting.
I would have to say the best moments so far are when Matthew and I are talking to him and his face forms that adorable gummy grin and he lets out a giggle or squeal! It is one of the greatest joys!
For those of you wondering - yes, Kegan has ridden on a tractor...more than once actually. He fell right to sleep - the rumble of the engine and the bummpy ride - he was out like a light. He has also gone exploring around the barn with his daddy. I am sure there will be MANY more days put on the farm for him.
On Monday I will start back to work and Kegan will have his official, full, first day of day care. I think it is harder on his mom and dad than on him. He went twice this week for a few hours so we could get all the kinks worked out. His teachers seem great and he seemed happy each time I left him and picked him up.
I have included some more pictures below to quickly update y'all on the past few months - in pictures. (The Beautiful little lady he is with in one of the pictures is his cousin, Karsyn who is now almost 6 months old.)
