2-years, 2- months...

Oh how the time goes by so quickly............

It seems like just yesterday Keagan was turning 2, and now, here it is, 2 more months later. =( Boo. She has in the last month or so REALLy began to increase her vocabulary! She is liking counting, and her favorite number is 2 ofcourse!! She likes to play hide and seek with her toys! Her favorite character is still Mickey and Minnie Mouse. She is still wearing panties throughout the day. She absolutely loves to wear dresses and skirts, and HATES to wear pants of any sort. I think because they are harder to get off when she needs to go to the restroom. We are still working on keeping shoes on her. She will now wear them but once we are inside or in the car, she immediately takes them off. She is pushing right at 24 pounds, and is 34 inches tall. Almost 3 feet....Wooooo!!!! She is very active and always on the run!! Lately, she is not wanting to take naps. If she skips her nap, she usually falls asleep by 8 or 8:30 and isn't up till about 9 or 9:30 in the morning. We are working on her big girl bed, and as long as all 7 mickey's and minnie's are there, she is usually content, although mommy does have to lay there right now until she falls asleep. Whenever I ask her if she is ready for night night, she tells me "no" and runs and jumps into our bed, gets under the cover, and props up on the pillows!! So cute!!! Also, we got a new fish aquarium and she could sit all day and point to the "fishies". She absolutely loves them!! Here mema has her spoiled and she loves to have choclate milk and choclate doughnuts on the weekend. So, I thought I would take a few pics of her enjoying her "choclate delights" while watching her fave, Mickey Mouse!!

Already 1 week...

I can't believe its already been a week. I think it went by alot faster because we were in the hospital for 4 days. =) Oh well....we are loving having our little man at home. Farren is actually super excited that she has a brother and was ready to hold him as soon as we got home. It was really cute! Keagan thinks he is the funniest thing in the world. Somehow, she understands at 19 months that he is something that needs to be handled with care. She is so gentle with him and loves to give him hugs and kisses. It is so sweet! And well....Mommy and Daddy couldn't be happier to have this little man added to our family! Deakon is doing really well, he is starting to get the hang of nursing, and we have successfully made it through 3 feedings on breast alone. He is still pretty small so it seems to be a struggle, but he is getting stronger and better. I am still pumping though, so Chris is able to feed him and bond with him as well. He is such a good baby so far. He eats and sleeps and eats and sleeps some more. We are stringing together about 3 hours of sleep at a time. Not bad....he loves to cuddle and swaddled. And he loves loves loves to be on your chest with some skin on skin contact!!

We love our little man!

Cheesin for the camera!!

My stinker is 17 months old. Already. Wow. I can't believe how much time has past since I first held her. She is growing like a weed mentally and physically. We went back to the doctor today for a check up to make sure her ear infection was gone and she weighed 21 pounds and was 30 1/2 inches tall! She is big and little all at the same time. Her new favorite breakfast food is oatmeal, but she still loves waffles, cereal, toast, bagels, eggs, and pop tarts too. She really really likes chicken, diced up carrots, corn, peas, noodles, spaghetti, ramen noodles, hamburger helper, potatoes, and mac and cheese for dinner time. Her new favorite word is "thank you" and I could listen to her say this all day long. She says it when she hands you something or when somethign is done for her or she does something for you. It is the cutest thing in the world! Some of her other favorite words are ming ming, duck, oh yeah, yes, no, bye bye, momma, dada, meme, drink, bite, night night, tee tee, and uh uh. She is so funny and sweet all the at the same time. She can sign and tell you what she wants or show you if she needs to. She understands small commands and will retrieve items you ask her to get. She now has two blankies....hers and one that was suppose to be for her brother. But, she has taken it over. =) She loves Finding Nemo, and Monstes Inc., and could watch them all day over and over. She loves bath time and takes them by herself, with mommy, and with daddy. We catch her climbing in the tub every time we get ready to take a shower. She loves to have her toenails painted. They are blue with white flowers right now....just like mommys. She goes to bed on her own and chooses if she wants mommy or daddy to put her to bed at night. She is sleeping about 11 hours at night and about 2 1/2 hours during the day. She loves to cheese for the camera....hence, the last picture. She loves to help with laundry, and will pull things out for me one at a time. I could ramble on forever...so I will just say that she is sucha a good baby and so much fun and joy to be around. We love you little stinker!!
