Look at me

Sorry for the terrible photos but I am just so proud I had to share! Just last week I decided to pull out the Bumbo seat. When we first put him in it he still needed help controlling his head, but what a difference a week makes. He has gone in his chair several times this week and has done great! It is still hard work and he tuckers out in short periods but he is rockin' it out like a champ! We even did tummy time before putting him in the chair so he had been working hard. This was one of the first times I had put him on his tummy and he didn't scream. We are making progress all over the place. Before when I put him in his tummy he would just cry and roll over. Today he played and looked at himself in his mirror and we read a book, then fussed and rolled over. It's progress!

Beautiful Baby Boy

Baby, Beach, and Birthdays

This past weekend we went on a much needed trip to the beach! We had so much fun and Keegan was absolutely wonderful! I am so glad that he likes the beach because we make several trips a year there. We drove down Wednesday and we only had to stop twice and one time we all needed to stop as well. When we got to the beach it was raining so we hung out inside for a while. By evening the sun came out and it was a beautiful sunset so we headed to the beach for Keegan's first time. He was a little fussy but who can blame him. He had been in the car all day. He finally settled down and went to sleep.

                                        

Day two at the beach started early. Funny how things change so much with a baby. Keegan got lathered up and we headed to the beach. We set up camp and let Keegan get in the water a little. After all that excitement he went down for a three plus hour nap. It was such a beautiful day. It was also my birthday. There is nothing better than a day on the beach with your family to make for the perfect birthday. Once Keegan woke up we "played" in the water a little more then Keegan was done with the beach so we headed back to the house. Later on in the afternoon Keegan was ready for round two of his nap so he and Grandmuther snuggled up and took a nap while the rest of us went back to the beach. It was such a relaxing day. We finished off the day by heading to The Back Porch for some yummy dinner. 

More to come later!

Keegan room 3

Friday we went for Keegan's two month check up. He is looking great and is huge as we already knew. He is weighing in at a whopping 13 pound 12 ounces. Then his head circumstance is 16 1/8. Then his length was where he really shined, he was 25 1/2 inches long!! No wondering he is already wearing a lot of 6 months clothes. Doctor Bill has a student with him right now and she was charting his measurements and Sean jokingly asked if he was if he was off the charts. He was, she was stunned and said I am new let me make sure this is right. It was he was over the 100th percentile. His weight was on the high average side and his head circumference was in the very high percentile. Then we had shots. He took them like the little rockstar that he is! They were terrible for mommy but he only cried a little. I was also really worried about what the rest of our day would be like since sometimes they cause irritability. He was once again amazing and was only a tinny bit more fussy than normal so mommy gave him lots and lots of extra love and snuggle time. He took a two and half hour nap on my chest and it was heavenly. There were things to be done but I just sat and enjoyed my beautiful boy. I love being a mommy.


Waiting for Doctor Bill to come in and check us.

Early morning snuggle

Is there anything better than a Saturday morning snuggle session? I think not. This morning we all woke up around 7:30, after Keegan ate we all just snuggled back in for some Saturday snuggle. We all talked and enjoyed the ability to have a slow start to our busy weekend. Keegan is so "talkative" in the morning time and it makes not sleeping in so much better. When you hear those sweet ohhh's and chooo's it makes my heart melt and I could stay up and listen to him talk forever. After a while the boys went back to sleep cuddling and I got out my new computer to play with. My fabo hubs gave me my birthday present early so I could go ahead and have it. It was a new MacBook! I have had my old Mac for about 5 or 6 years and it was done. It would still work, it was just as slow as Christmas, but how can you complain after having it that long. Now that Keegan is here I am constantly taking photos and trying to learn how to really take photos as well as doing a little bit of editing to them. I needed something that could hold lots of pictures and not take an hour to turn on.

Some of the great faces we get to see early in the morning!

cuddling with his daddy, ignore all the burp clothes he spits up a lot

Even Chloe too part in the family cuddle time after sleeping under the bed all night.

How did that happen...

I have a two month old. It's seems crazy that he is already two whole months old! Then it also seems like we have had him forever. I already can not imagine life without him. He consumes me. I love him more than I could ever imagine. I thought I would make a list of some of Keegan's favorite things right now: his paci which we affectionally call "puppy", his skip hot mirror, his changing pad (oddly enough he could lay there for hours talking and playing), his little giraffe blanket and the story "I Love You Through and Through".




These are some photos from our little photo session. It's hard to take photos of a two month old by yourself. He is so cute anything would be cute, but I may be a little biased.












We are headed to the doctor tomorrow for the dreaded two month apoitment where he will be getting shots. Hopefully it will not be as bad as what I am imagining.

Should I?

I am thinking of coming back to the blogging world. My life has totally changed since the last time I was here. I am now a mommy to the most beautiful baby boy that you have ever seen, as well as a stay at home mommy. I am loving every minute of it. Yes, it is hard at times but I would not trade it for a minute. It does not get better than him sleeping on my chest as I write this. If someone would have told me that being a stay at home mom was going to be harder than being a special needs preschool teacher to 15 children I would have laughed. Oh how I was wrong this is more than a full time job, you put in more than 40 hours a week you have to be on 24 hours a day. It is long days but the most rewarding thing I could ever imagine. Being a mommy is my calling from God. I want to be the best mommy I can be for him. So I am going to start the chronicles of his life. There will be lots of pictures of my beautiful baby boy as well as my path to trying to get back in shape and juggling life as a new mom. I am having fun and laughing at myself as I try to manage to do it all. I want to be super mom but sometimes even super mom has a messy house, because when all Keegan wants to do is cuddle and sleep in my arms that okay with me because the dirty house will wait but these are the moments I live for. So here goes, I am entering the world of a mom who blogs things should be interesting. I will leave you with a picture of my baby burrito from last night. Enjoy
