A Weekend with His Granparents and More GREAT videos!

These first 2 videos were taken last week. The first one is to show Kegan picking up his food and feeding himself puffs - we have been working on it and he finally is getting to where he is very good at it. How cool it was to watch this skill develop. I would say he is even better this week. I usually give him some puffs on his tray to pick up and eat while I get the rest of his meal ready - he gobbles them up. Then, if I am not ready yet, he will tap on his tray as if to say (not always with the best manners_ "More puffs, please!" He will even do it while I am feeding him, so I will give him some and let him feed himself, then we go back to the baby food. I have tried different soft fruits, but I think they are a bit slippery for his hands, so we are still working on that!



This next video actually started one morning we had Kegan on our bed playing with him and I was trying to get him sucking his toes, but he decided not to do that, but rather, fuss a bit, roll over, lift his tush in the air, roll, and fuss. Anyways, I included it to show how well he is lifting his back end up now...hmmm...if only we could get the back and front up at the same time!



On Friday, I left to go see some college friends for the weekend, and Matthew was working and planned on working all weekend, so Kegan went over to spend the weekend with his Grandparents! (and get thoroughly spoiled I am sure) I do not have pictures to post from the weekend, but from what I heard and the pictures I saw on the Setliff's camera, it looked like he had a fun time. On Saturday, Kegan was up bright and early with this Grandma and enjoyed playing and watching the doggie outside. That afternoon he went to go get family pictures taken for the church directory, with the Setliffs. (Matthew, Kegan, and I had gone on Wednesday - Kegan did a Wonderful job and shared LOTS of smiles!!!) Back to Saturday, well, the Setliffs took their picture for the directory and then Kegan got to join them for a few special pictures they wanted to take extra, with him. His Grandma had even bought him a new little outfit for the pictures. The photographer remembered Kegan from Wednesday - especially when he raised his little eyebrow - a VERY KEGAN TRAIT! I thought that was pretty special though, all the people the photographer had taken pictures of and he remembered Kegan!!! Saturday night, Matthew went over (after working at the barn all day) to spend time with his son. They swang some in the bag yard (KEGAN LOVES TO SWING) and then shared a Popsicle - both boys ended up red faced and sticky - the pictures I saw on the Setliffs camera were funny! Sunday afternoon I made it home to a long napping little boy - he must have played hard!

This week has started off good. Yesterday I tried to give him a little cheese to pick up and eat. Here is a video of that. (excuse the goofy commentary)



Today we went to one of our swimming lessons make up classes and once again Kegan loved the water. The babies practiced floating today and Kegan was a pro at it (we kept our hands loosely under them to help) - he seemed to enjoy the floating. Oh yes, he also blew bubbles in the water 2 times today (a skill we work on), but I think it was merely coincidence more so than anything else, but I was excited for him! One more funny story - Kegan and I were riding around with Haley and William today and all of a sudden we heard William start to fuss and when Haley looked back -Kegan had taken William's sippie cup and was drinking from it - Kegan LOVED Williams juice. No way will he want water from me now - oh man. Oh yes, Karsyn, be careful it looks like Kegan may now be able to take your pacifier from you - uh oh! Hahaha...

Tomorrow should be fun - Kegan is going to go to his first circus - hopefully - if it is not too loud and we have to walk out in the hallway because he is crying. We shall see. I will try to take pictures while we are there to post!
