TV Star

Kegan and I just got home from shooting a commercial for a loca insurance company here in Corpus. One of the agents for the company goes to our church and Sunday he came up and asked Matthew and I if we would mind letting Kegan be in the company's Christmas commercial - he needed a baby who smiled a lot - with some other babies of differing nationalities! Of course, we agreed! This morning, Kegan and I showed up at the studio and Kegan did his thing for the camera - actually he crawled around a lot, so I was busy constantly putting him back on the backdrop/camera viewing area. He was full of grins though and even danced some when the videoographer started singing! We were told the commercial would start airing as soon as possible on different tv channels down here - too cool! We are also supposed to be sent a copy of the commercial, so as long as there is no copyright problem I will post it to the blog when I receive it! How neat is that!!!

On top of that, Kegan has been a busy boy this week. Monday, I was making him take some pictures to add to our Christmas cards - taking a picture of a active little boy, all by yourself, is quite a challenge, but we found one - you will just have to wait for your Christmas card to come in the mail to see it! In the mean time - here are some other cute pictures I did capture.

This is what he wanted to really do with the Santa hat most of the time - hand it right back to me after he yanked it off his head - he was not too into the hat!

I have heard the bell...not let me see if I can taste the bell!?!

This one made me laugh - he got the bell stuck inside one of his cups and could not figure out why it happened or how to fix it...so...he just sat there and held it up trying to shake it off. Doesn't he look perplexed?

Happy Baby!

Tuesday was packed, too. We headed off that morning to go take a picture with Santa. Before getting there, however, Kegan spit-up a little bit and it got all over his undershirt - thank goodness not the overalls. He was a bit wet and smelly, so before we took our pictures I had to go buy a new shirt to go under the overalls - thank goodness we were at the mall! Now, I was already prepping myself to hear a lot of screaming and get a picture that looked not so happy, however, I was surprised. Kegan did pretty good when we walked up to Santa - he smiled and bashfully would turn his head and smile again...then...I sat him down in Santa's lap and well...he just seemed a bit confused and worried that I was leaving him with this man with a beard and all that red on - he did not scream or cry, really...just made a few worried noises. Anyways, this is what we got...he just does not look too sure of things!

After visiting with Santa we met William and Haley, and Julie and Cason for lunch. We had not seen William and Haley in a while (outside of Cason's birthday this past weekend) so we all wanted to get together to visit and let all the boys play. It was an active and very fun lunch. We miss Haley and William! Here are some pictures from that afternoon.

Checking out the tunnel.

Crawling through the tunnel to mommy...or possibly the food mommy was holding in her hand.

Swinging solo is fun, but....

swinging with friends is even better!

(Cason, William, and Kegan)

...and we are through...now, take a bow...

Needless to say - he took a great nap after all of this fun!

Then, we are back to today - my little tv star is taking a nap and getting ready to play some more!
