Matthew took Kegan to his 6 month wellness visit (I was at work) and said that the doctor said Kegan was looking good and right on track...and vary mobile for his age. Hmm...is this a prediction of things to come! :) Kegan weighs around 16 pounds 8 ounces (20th percentile) and is 27 1/2 inches long (80th percentile). Basically he is long and skinny...hmm...we are still thinking he got that from 2 of his great grandfathers - certainly not his mom and dad! Matthew let the doctor know he was rolling, holding his own bottle, moving toys from hand to hand, sitting up for little bits at a time, and just that morning of the visit had been able to lift himself to a seating position from a reclined at an incline position. Kegan has been trying different vegetables (pictures to follow) and the doctor said we can now start him on baby meats - yummy! (Those jars always look so nasty at the store!) Kegan also got more shots - poor baby! All-in-all, the visit went VERY well!!!
OK, the rest of this is going to be quick comments with pictures. I have not had a chance to update in such a long time (when he is growing and changing this fast 2 weeks is a long time) and a lot has happened. Enjoy! :)

Daddy taking good care of Kegan!!
Mommy decides to take over and we go into Kegan's room to play. If you don't remember this is the same puppy dog "rug" I laid Kegan on a month or so ago - look at how much he has grown!!
Look how strong - holding himself up above the puppy's head. "Do you see me mom? Do you see me??"

Kegan tried carrots. As you can see, the first attempt for carrots was VERY messy. He did seem to like them more than the green beans, though. I love this picture - his facial expression and the carrots ALL OVER his face - priceless! (I learned carrots - they stain - everything - including his little cheeks!)

We all went out to eat for Mrs. Setliff's birthday. Below you see Matthew feeding Kegan sweet potato fries. (They were caught, but obviously Kegan did not seem to care)At least Kegan seems like sweet potato, so when we officially try those it should go well!

I just loved this outfit on Kegan (on loan from his friend August). He looks like he is ready to go and explore nature!
These next two are from his bath time. You can see he is starting to sit up and loves sitting in the water and playing with his toys!

Matthew and Kegan too me out to make a memory for my first Mother's Day. We took Kegan for his first trip to the beach! He was mesmerized by the water. Just stared and stared at it, as you will see below! It was great. I can't wait to take him back!
(He would not turn away from the water, even when we tried to face him in a different direction.)
The first time Kegan experienced the feeling of sand under his feet and between his toes.)
At home, after returning from the beach and a Cajun seafood dinner(for the parents) and soy and rice cereal (for Kegan).
A total cheese for the camera?!?!
Sunday 5-13-07 Mother's Day
It was dedication Sunday at church, so Kegan got to join us in church for a little while. He did wonderful. No fussing or anything!!! We committed to raise him in a godly home and then Kegan received a New Testament Bible and a letter he is supposed to open on his 18th birthday (which I am sure will come all to quickly) to tell him what went on this day!
Here are a few more pictures of me and Kegan - the little man who made Mother's Day possible for me to celebrate!
I love this one of us - cheek to cheek!!!

Kegan is working on his sitting. It is getting better. He can sit for longer periods and has started catching himself - sometimes - if he leans to one side or the other. Kegan will also reach out for toys we hold up in front of him, while he is seated. Way to go strong man!!! (In this picture he is just sitting and studying a burp cloth.)
These next two are Kegan's opinion of having to eat peas...although he did better with these than green beans, he still got his fill of peas rather quickly!
He is growing up so fast, I can not wait till this week is over - my last week of school - then I get to stay home with him! Oh, what a joy!!!!

Well, I have to say, he certainly has an opinion on everything - from veggies (yuck) to the beach (fasinating). What a cutie pie!!

He is as adorable as ever!! Long and skinny, huh? Totally opposite of Jonathan--more fat than long! I LOVE the pictures at the beach and of Mother's Day--you look beautiful, as usual!! Can't wait to see you guys when you come to Plano!
