What a FLIRT!

Kegan turns 10 months old and all of a sudden hormones!!! Haha...j/k...well, sort-of. Sunday morning when I went to go pick Kegan up from the nursery all the ladies were telling me that Kegan had been flirting with all the girls that morning. One of the lovely nursery workers then proceeded to tell me that there had been three little girls sitting on the floor around her, then Kegan went over to them and gave each one a kiss! It was even like he stuck to just one girl...but three! Hahaha...oh... I am going to have my hands full!

Now, back to the rest of the week. There were not any mid-week updates last week, because, well...it was a pretty slow week, especially the first half. Matthew is still busy with Harvest so Kegan and Mommy spent a lot of time playing at home. We did take a few trips out to the farm to see Matthew and to get out of the house. The end of the week, was a bit more exciting, though! Thursday afternoon, Kegan got to spend a few hours with just him and Matthew on the farm (first time on the farm without mommy there) while I went to the dentist. I think both Matthew and Kegan had fun that day! On Friday Kegan turned 10 months and with that came a 4th tooth (2nd tooth on top) that finally pushed through Saturday morning! Kegan got to take his first trip to the Texas State Aquarium on Saturday and he seemed to really enjoy it! We went with Julie (I taught with her) and Cason (who is 3 weeks younger than Kegan).It was fun to watch him stare at the tanks of big fish! Sunday - well you already heard about Sunday. Then today he waved, at the right time, for the first time. Kegan and I had walked over to talk to some neighbors and when we were leaving Rodney waved goodbye to Kegan and Kegan reached out his hand and opened and closed his fingers...I was so proud!!! We have been working on that for a while. It was so cute to see those pudgy fingers open and close.

Below are some pictures from this past week.

My home-boy Kegan on the farm Saturday, visiting Matthew.

He still LOVES to look at all the big machines (this is a view of the front of a picker).

Hanging out around the house.
Being a teacher I had to put this in here...already picking up books himself and looking at them. (Ok, usually they end up being shook up and down or slid across the floor...but still, he does go and pick them up with out me having to give them to him...that's a start!) Doesn't it look like he is saying, "Mom, read this one, please."

Tuesday I was just having fun snapping pictures of him and Kegan got a bit curious about the camera.
"Hey...what...what did you do? What is that in your hands, mom?"

"Ooooo...let me crawl closer and get a better look!"

'There we go, I will just reach out and take that from you, Mom, if that is alright?"(Those are his little fingers covering part of the lens)

More play time. This is a new hinge puzzle I just got him. I will open the doors and he then enjoys going back and closing them all. It is fascinating to watch him problem solve while doing this. Not all the "doors" close the same, some are side closing, some are top closing, and some bottom closing...and as he works on it he will try different ways to close the door till he figures out the correct way. He is already getting smarter and it takes him less time and thought! How smart!!! (Side note, I TOTALLY recommend this type of puzzle to anyone with a child too small for a "typical" puzzle...or if you would just like a good alternative to they "typical" puzzle. The parts can not be put into his mouth nor can they be lost!)

Now, this is the way to take an afternoon sippie! (Oh yes, Kegan did great with stopping the bottle. Kegan has not had a bottle since Saturday, September 8...he did it...cold turkey. He has about 4 different styles of sippie cups and he does fine with either of them.)

Kegan was able to crawl out of his bumpo on his own the other day...eek! One less way to contain him...haha....

Spending time with his daddy on Thursday afternoon. He looks like he his concentrating real hard on figuring out how to get to the Cheerios inside!

I tried to take more pictures than this, but the battery went out...but here is a cute one of Kegan enjoying looking at the fish in the big fish tank!
