Still working on a method...but he is moving

He's getting better! Wow...what a difference one week can make in the life of a baby. Kegan is still going through different methods of crawling 1. The traditional crawl
2. The hop - he kind of bounces more so than fluidly moves
3. The inchworm - he pulls up his feet, then stretches out his arms and body flat, then pulls up his feet again...and so on
4. The foot drag - he pulls with his arms and pushes off with his right foot, while his left foot really just goes along for the ride
No matter the method, he manages to get to where he wants. Last night at a Sunday School party Kegan was going to town just crawling all over the tile going after this little orange ball that kept rolling away form him. I was so impressed!

Kegan also has a new favorite "thing" this week - he LOVES wheels. He stares at them on trucks, tractors, and lawn mowers (ones sitting on the showroom floor...not ones that are working), and he plays with them on his toy tractors and he played with one on a rolling igloo the other day. I don't know what it is...but he is fascinated! How great it has been to see such joy and inquiry over such an everyday concept to you and me...but something new and different to someone just exploring their world for the first time!

Before I show the videos I have of him crawling...I wanted to show some still shots of Kegan's great crawling "poses".
Looking up while in a crawl.

Check out those strong legs and arms...such determination in his face!


Here Kegan is crawling to none other than the cheapest toy he has...an old tin throw away cook pan...he loves the noise and shine.


Matthew called and was talking on the phone and Kegan kept trying to crawl to it and get it...it was real sweet and an great time to capture him crawling (he is not always cooperative with me trying to video tape him).


The rest are just some cute pictures from last week and today.

Kegan and Mommy went to run errands with Daddy on Thursday.
Look Mom...I can drive!

Daddy...Grandpa...are you looking at me, too?

Thursday night we went to another farmer's fields to go see this new concept picker (for those who care - with this new picker, the farmer never has to stop to dump the cotton, it is bailed up, like hay is, inside the machine and then dropped out the pick...very cool to watch). Here we were wasting time and sat Kegan in the wheel of one of the tractors that hauled some of the bailed cotton around. Aren't those tires huge...he looks so little inside the BIG rims!


Matthew and Kegan are sharing some dinner on Saturday night. Yes, Kegan did crawl over to his daddy to get that french fry...the child is VERY motivated by food...haha...and yes, Matthew's hands are that dark from dirt!

Yummy...how should I go about biting into this???

This is how I have seen daddy do it...yummy!

This afternoon, Matthew went out to the fields to start picking...yea!...and Kegan and I hung out around the house. I think Kegan is going to get his next tooth soon...he is chewing on everything and loving his cold teething rings. (He was "helping" me fold laundry here.)

Still being such a good helper with the laundry...he was fascinated with the laundry basket. Isn't he so cute...I love all his expressions!!!

With Mathew busy picking cotton this week, Kegan and I will head to visit his Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Kyle for a night and then head off to Houston for his cousin Karsyn's first birthday. It is going to be a good week!!!
