Weekend Update

With the rain still falling Kegan and I spent a lot of Friday and Saturday in doors...but we did manage to get out for a few things when the rain subsided a little.

Friday afternoon Kegan and I went to have lunch with Matthew. While we were headed home Matthew called and asked if we could go and pick him up some parts for one of his tractors, so Kegan and I set off to Taft. Once we were there, we went inside and found Kegan's Grandpa. Needless to say, I did not hold Kegan anymore for the duration of our visit to the store. Mr. Setliff walked all around the store holding Kegan and showing him off to everyone - I don't know who was more happy and entertained...Kegan or Kegan's Grandpa. Below is a picture of Kegan hanging out with his Grandpa in Grandpa's office.

Saturday morning was nice, so we took the opportunity to get out of the house and went strolling for a while - Kegan loves being outside! It did cloud up and begin to rain again, so we spent most of the late morning and afternoon inside just playing around and me taking way too many pictures. (You know when a child has had too many pictures taken when you are trying to get a candid shot, but every time he sees the flash going off...he turns and looks at the camera.)
Here I was trying to catch him eating a puff with his fingers, but as long as I was taking pictures he was not too concerned about getting that little puff to his mouth - see he even has his mouth open and hand up, with the food in it...but the camera was going off so he turned and looked. Silly boy!
This next picture I just think is so cute of his little chubby cheeks and big, beautiful eyes (that still have not seemed to choose a color). There is still a little sweet potato and chicken left on his mouth and chin - yummy!
After lunch we went into Kegan's room to play some. Here is is chewing - he chews on everything - his second tooth is starting to push through so everything goes straight to the gums. We also listened to one of his baby music CDs...he laughs at his mommy following along with the motions to the songs. It is so much fun to play with him. He will just start giggling. His whole body gets into the glee when he starts laughing (jumping and laughing and squinching up his face - too cute! I can not wait till he starts attempting the motions - video video video!!!
Have you ever seen such determination to chew.
Reach for the toy...reach for it...and pull...
Whoops!...pull too hard and it all comes crashing down.
I mentioned we have a second tooth starting to bud. Here is the best picture I could get of his gums. He was not happy to let mommy take this. The more I tried to get the picture, the more he tried to hide his tooth. You can see the one he has, really well. However, the picture is too blurry to see the new one trying to push through.
Is there anything better to do than watch the rainfall? Just one thing - watching the rain fall outside surrounded by all your favorite toys! He enjoyed the rain and every time it would thunder he would make his mouth in the shape of an "O" and start looking all around the room.
That evening we all had dinner with the Setliff's and took Kegan to his first Baseball game. I forgot my camera (can you imagine) so we stopped and picked up a disposable one (all the pictures were used up that night...ha!). I will have to get them put on a CD and I will then post them - they are going to be too cute to not put up!
We went to eat at the Crazy Cajun - Kegan gnawed on a corn cob (all the corn was off) and loved it. I guess it was a good texture on his gums...with a hint of spice and flavor. After eating we all headed to the ballpark. Kegan was entertained by everything and everyone. He just looked and looked around at all the lights and people. He did really good and cried twice - once at a man who talked to him (the poor man felt so bad) and a second time when the Hook (our team) had a great play and there was lots of loud music and cheering. Otherwise he stayed awake the whole time just enjoying himself. His grandpa also bought him a Popsicle. Kegan was red all over...but very happy.
Sunday we went to church and to eat. He spent the afternoon with his grandparents while Matthew and I got some stuff done around the house, before Matthew has to start back to harvest. His grandma told me Kegan swang a little, played a little, slept some, and ate A LOT!
He had a good weekend and we are looking forward to the rest of this week - tomorrow we go to our first swim lesson. It should be fun!
