A Fun Weekend

Friday night Kegan and Mommy took dinner out to the guys all working on harvest in the fields. We stood outside the car for a while, but when the mosquitoes started to attack Kegan and I headed back into the car. Kegan, however, does not like to just sit in his car seat, if the car is not moving, so we hung out in the front together. I don't remember why we ended up with me in the passenger's seat and him in the driver's seat, but we did and he seemed to enjoy sitting in the driver's seat.

Saturday morning Kegan and I headed off to Wharton. When we got to my grandparent's house there was an entire crew there - my Grandma and Pappa, my Grandma's brother, Uncle George, my Aunt Betsey, Lynne and two of her girls, Tori and Julianne, Grams, and Karsyn (Wendy had to stay in Houston to work). Wow - what a group to play with and keep Kegan entertained all day! Below is a picture of Kegan with Tori. (There was so much going on he was a bit too distracted to look at the camera.)

Julianne loved both of the babies so much and wanted to help with them on everything - even stinky diapers. She was so cute to watch with the babies - she would give them toys to play with, rock with them in Pappa'a big recliner, help change their diapers, and even fed both babies. Below is a picture of her feeding Kegan. It was so cute. She would put a little bit on the spoon and then take it up to his mouth, then if any fell she would take the spoon and use it to wipe up what was falling out. Julianne did make the comment, however, that Karsyn was a lot easier to feed than Kegan. I think Kegan's head was moving to much (looking from side to side). Either way, she did great and Kegan had a full belly when all was said an done. Notice Kegan still is a messy eater and gets his food all over his face!

If you noticed when you read the list of people at my Grandma and Pappa's house you might have noticed there were not too many men on the list. Only three - that includes Kegan. Below is a picture of the three lone men sitting around the table (Pappa is holding Kegan and Uncle George - Kegan's great great Uncle) is sitting on the end.

With all those people there was lots of playtime all day long. Karsyn and Kegan were cute to watch interact. In the past she could take a toy from him and he wouldn't really care, but now he is learning that just because he does not have it anymore, doesn't mean it is not there, so when she took something away from him, he would lean forward and take it right back - hmmm...family gatherings should be getting more and more interesting - those two cousins will be learning a lot about sharing. I think he is going to have to learn to crawl though, if he really wants to have a chance at getting to toys first.

Now, what is a Gram's to do when she has two young grand babies??? Share her love with both of course!

Grams was holding Kegan, but Karsyn wanted in on the love sooo...

everyone shared a big hug!

Kegan really had a good time and was played out by the time we left around 8 - he fell asleep in the car and did not wake up till the next morning at his regular wake up time.

Sunday morning we went to church and them drove around the farm some and went to eat with the Setliff's and some friends of theirs. What a great weekend of grandparent time.

It rained Monday so Kegan got a nice surprise - extra time on Monday night with his daddy. Now, Kegan has been fascinated with all the tractors he sees in his room and the one on the mantle since going out to the farm these past few weeks, so last night Matthew got down the big tractor from the mantle and he and Kegan played with it on the floor. It was neat to watch - Kegan loved watching it role and would even reach his hands out and push it back and forth.

Here some pictures of Kegan sucking on his big - I believe I had mentioned that this was his new trick. It is so funny. He sucks on it when he is sitting up and bends over or he will suck on it while laying on his back and he brings his foot to his mouth. Now...you would think he could crawl with that sort of flexibly and skill...but no...no crawling yet. We will just have to wait and see when he decides it is time for him to move .
Going for it - bringing the foot to the mouth.

Success - the big toe is in the mouth.
