Spoiled Spoiled Spoiled

Kegan has been with grandparents, great grandparents, and aunts and uncles for the past two weeks and he is most definitely a spoiled little boy now - to which mommy and daddy are quickly trying to reverse. We LOVE him to pieces but this spoiled behavior - cry cry cry when he does not get his way - ohhh!!!! (hehe) In all actuality, the past 2 weeks have been great from Kegan. He has been loved by so many people in his family.


The pictures below are from the Sunday right before the 2 weeks of spoiling began. The first 2 were taken before church that morning. He was in such a happy and playful mood!!! (Look at how well he is sitting now. It is crazy the difference one week can make!)


(I promise he has on diapers - you just can't see them. Trust me - he would not be with out a diaper on!)

These next set of pictures were taken Sunday afternoon. Kegan had spit up on himself and I had taken him into the bathroom sink to do a quick rinse down. Well, he was enjoying kicking his feet in the water so much that I was letting him play for a bit and in the process of that he scooted himself into the sink...diaper and all! It was like a small pool to him - he loved it.

(I think the picture below is so cool looking - there are two of him!)


(He is just a little bit vain - enjoying looking at himself in the mirror.)


My mom came in to town Monday,May 21th (to help me move all my stuff out of my classroom - it is official - I am at home with Kegan for good) and my dad and Meme and Poppa joined us Friday, May 25th. They all stayed till Monday morning. It was great to see all of them and watch them interact with Kegan. He loves his Grams and Grandpa and Meme and Poppa! On Saturday afternoon, we had everyone over - all the family (Gail's parents and grandparents, Matthew's parents, Uncle Kyle and Aunt Lindsay, and Uncle Josh and Aunt Stephani) for a fajita dinner. Kegan was, of course, the center of attention. Sunday was church and Monday, which came all too soon, my family left - but not with out some great pictures taken, first!!!! (see below)

Pizza - Kegan gets his first taste of pizza crust and he seemed to like it!


Grams and I took Kegan for a walk. Notice - he no longer needs his car seat in the stroller - he can sit in it like a big boy!


Meme and Poppa arrive with my dad. Meme immediately took Mr. Kegan, sat down, and started giving him tons of hugs and kisses...Poppa had to shake Kegan's hand till he got his turn to hold him!

Poppa and Kegan are talking and playing.

Hello Grandpa!!!


Saturday Kegan got to see his Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Kyle whom he has not seen since January. Aunt Lindsay was very excited - to say the least...Uncle Kyle, too!



Poppa taking care of Kegan - feeding and burping.


Monday morning Grams, Grandpa, and Meme and Poppa had to leave (sad)...but family time was not over yet - we got packed up and headed to the Frio River to spend the week with Grandma and Grandpa (Setliff), Uncle Josh and Aunt Stephani, Uncle Kyle (Aunt Lindsay had to work) and a couple who had been friends with the Setliff's for a long time - all in all - lots of hands to hold Mr. Kegan...for yet another week...hehe...spoil spoil spoil....


Packing up and getting ready to go!



We made it to the river and decided to walk down and take a look. Kegan loved looking at the water. (You will see in picture later - we defiantly have a little boy who loves the water!!!)

Notice his eyes in this picture - do you see what he is looking at, as he rest his feet on the front bar of his stroller??? His face may be turned away from the water...but his eyes are still checking it out!

Finally, his little toes get to touch the water!


As other people were off floating, Kegan got to go play in his little pool! He LOVED it! He splashed...all over Matthew and I..., laughed, and played for quite a while...both days he got to play in the pool.
(He was wanting that green toy, that you see floating away, closer to him.)
Mommy and Kegan playing with the pool toys.


Squeals of excitement!!!

Aunt Stephani joins the pool side fun on day 2!

Kegan LOVES it when his daddy blows raspberries on his belly - it get him just to laughing and squealing...and oh, the biggest smiles he has in him!!!


On the last full day we were there, Matthew and I took Kegan down to the river, to sit and enjoy it...and he did!
He started by sitting with his daddy...

...and ended with him sitting and enjoying the water in his bumpo. It was great...the water was just deep enough to flow through the bumpo, so he could feel it, and reach down and touch it with his hands!

Is this not one of the most irresistibly cute little faces you have every seen!?!

When you play this hard every day, you have to certainly take a good bath every night...in this case...in the kitchen sink!


These last 2 pictures were taken at a John Deere store on the way home. He is already ready to help his daddy out on the farm!

I'm so excited that you decided to stay home with Keagan. I LOVE being a full-time mommy. I have to get out of the house at least once a day (even if it's just to buy milk), but it's so fun. I love the water pictures--I haven't taken Jonathan to any water yet (other than the tub), but I might try out the pool this Thursday night. I'd LOVE to see you when you come to Plano next week...let me know when a visit is convenient for you!
