Christmas

We had a very busy Christmas Eve and Christmas between getting Santa pictures with cousins, Mommy baking, finishing last minute shopping because of the snow and getting to all our family obligations. Keegan did great for the most part (see below), he was pretty uninterested in the presents, but played with the toys once they were opened. He was very spoiled by our families, so THANK YOU everyone who participated in making Keegan's first Christmas lots of fun!

The only bummer to our holiday was that we all ended up with colds. Keegan woke me up in the middle of the night on Christmas with a high fever, so he got his first dose of Tylenol. He was very crabby Christmas Eve and I had just figured he was overstimulated and tired, but I think he must have been getting sick before we did.....poor guy!

I think I must have jinxed myself by saying he was doing great sleeping because he is now doing horrible and is back to sleeping with me and if I try to put him in his crib before I can even let go of him he is awake and crying.....sigh. I'm hoping once he is feeling better he will go back to sleeping on his own and sleeping through the night.

A Christmas Miracle!

About a month ago Jason and I were out shopping and he found a baby bib that said "All Mommy wants for Christmas is a Silent Night." and I said that was pretty much what I did want since Keegan was getting up 4-6 times a night and sleeping in bed with me and I was getting no sleep since most of the night he was sleeping on my chest. Not to mention the fact that Jason sleeps downstairs and I had been sleeping upstairs for the last 2 months. Well it looks like I am on my way to getting my Christmas wish. Keegan slept through the night in is crib for 6 nights in a row without him having to "cry it out", then had 2 crummy nights of him crying and I would go retrieve him and bring him into bed with me, but then last was a great night again! This might be the best Christmas present ever! Thank you Santa and Keegan!

Santa

Keegan had his first Santa picture. This is actually a picture that Jason took and is cuter than the one that we bought....oh well! Keegan did great, I think he could have cared less whose lap he was on although he thought the beard was interesting and tried to grab it.

A Weekend of Firsts!

Keegan had a very exciting Saturday. It was his first waterbabies class. We went with Mac, Krista and Tanner and we did the class while the guys swam. Keegan was a little unsure of it and had zero smiles, but every time I put him down in the water he would kick. This is us both looking grumpy even though we were having fun.After class we went out to lunch at Roundtable pizza and Keegan got to sit in his first highchair (other than the one at home). He sat in it almost the whole time until he started to get sleepy and was slumping down. He and Tanner were great sitting next to each other......

Then Keegan fell asleep in Daddies arms at the restaurant. Jason looking really happy at having his picture taken.

Keegan's first snow!

I think he was more interested in the plant than the snow....

I'm 6 months old!

Keegan is now 6 months old and is still very busy growing! We took him for his 6 month check up and he weights 21 # 4 1/2 oz (95 %) and is 26 3/4 inches long (75%). Jason and I are still amazed at what a chunk he has turned out to be since we were both small babies. Oh well, lugging him around is an amazing arm workout! He is such a great baby and I am thankful everyday for how content and happy he is.

Keegan's new favorite thing is pulling Mommies hair! Tons of fun for me!

Smiling for daddy!

Happy Birthday Monkey

Marley turns 2 today! I really wanted a dog and when I found Marley online and realized that he had been born on our 1st wedding anniversary I knew that I had to have him. Jason said we could go look, but we were not getting a dog that day.....well the rest is history! Once we saw that 3 pound bundle of fur we couldn't resist and what a good decision it was. Marley has been an awesome little dog, who thinks he is a big dog. Happy Birthday Monkey.

Happy Anniversary

Happy 3rd Anniversary Jason! It is amazing how fast 3 years have gone by and how much we have accomplished during that time. Building a house, getting a dog, having a baby....all big life changes and we have come through it all together for better or worse. I love you and appreciate all that you do for us and I hope we have many more anniversaries to celebrate. Sorry to everyone else who has to read this and thinks it's cheesy!

Three years ago today.......

Jumping Boy

The benefits of having 2 older cousins are getting all the toys they have outgrown! Thanks Auntie Bridget and Lydia for lending us the rainforest jumper....Keegan loves it.
