Let's start back at the first weekend in August where little man got to ride in a combine (it is what is used to harvest the grain) with Grandpa, Angela (one of his mommy's friends who came to visit for the weekend), his mommy, and then also with his Grandma.
Kegan and his grandpa concentrating on their job.
Monday Kegan and I road on a 7 1/2 hour road trip to Plano with Angela. I must say, Kegan did WONDERFUL in the car. He kept to pretty much the same nap schedule he is on and when he was awake would talk to himself, look around, and play with his toys. I was so proud of him. (I have to admit, I was a bit worried about that long of a car ride...he is such a trooper!)
Once we got to Plano, it was go, go, go. One of my best friends, Courtney, was getting married this past weekend, so we were busy going and doing wedding stuff and he actually did very good and just went with the flow of every day. I know I am just so blessed to have such an easy going baby. Below is a slide show of pictures from my mom's camera (I was not good about getting mine out) - it is all the pictures she took, so some are probably not the best...but they are all very cute and you can see all the places Mr. Kegan got to go. You will see some in there at the Herman's pool and you can tell the little man still LOVES the water. Cute story from that night - Mrs. Herman lit some "torches" to keep the mosquitoes away and Kegan was mesmerized by the fire and just stared at it. Then all of a sudden he leaned back, like he was taking a big breath in, and started blowing raspberries in the direction of the flame (he was in the pool looking up at them). It was so funny! There are also lots of pictures of him in attempts to crawl. Enjoy the slide show. (I believe you can manipulate it for how fast you want the slides to go.)
Below are a few pictures I did take with my own camera that are not duplicated in the slide show.
First, a picture of Kegan and the bride, Mrs. Courtney Alford. (She loved Kegan and he loved his "Auntie Courtney" - she had him laughing a lot of the week!)
Next is probably the cutest series of photos of Kegan getting caught in the act of trying to sneak some candy from Gram's candy tray.
Hmmm...what is that up there in the basket?
OOOOO...CANDY!
Now...if I can juuuuuust reach out far enough...
Oooops...well at least I got my piece of candy!
This next one is of Kegan laughing at his Grams as he goes for the candy...again!
The next two pictures were at the wedding in what became the "baby corner". The first picture is of Kegan and his new little friend, Jonathan (I grew up with his daddy, Michael, in the youth group, at church) and Shanna, Michael's very sweet wife, and me. Both boys were looking at the camera. I was so proud! (I think there was about 3 or 4 people holding up toys and making noises to get them both looking...but hey...the kids did great and they both look so handsome!)
I thought this was a cute picture of them - such expression. Kegan looks like he is saying "Please stop with all the pictures!" and Jonathan is hanging in there like a champ...eyes open and facing the cameras...just trying to keep up his pose...haha...too cute!
Monday morning Kegan and I flew back to Corpus - no layovers or lost luggage...nothing...just a smooth flight - yeah!!! Then, Monday evening Kegan actually made some moves that looked like crawling. Matthew had been telling Kegan all week to not crawl till he got home and his daddy could see him...Kegan minded his daddy very well! The first video is vary short. It was was taken on Monday night and I think he was a bit tired.
The second video was taken on Tuesday and is longer and shows Kegan's wobbly, somewhat of a crawl, a little better.
He still is trying to get his method down, but continues to get better and more daring in his attempts. I will keep trying to snatch more videos of him, to post.
