September Days...

Ur Oma is here visiting from Sept 19 to October 2 (Sept 25-29 w/Jennifer). We have loved having her here. We are so grateful that her "ticker" is back to normal and that she is able to visit. It is so nice to have some one on one time. 

We have started a project while she is here -- we are video taping her life story. I am not sure if we will get it done this visit. We may have to keep working on it over Christmas. 


Keaton has started holding his own bottle. He doesn't tip it quite enough but he likes to show his independence... I wonder where he gets that personality trait?


He is so happy. He smiles and giggles all day. He is making tons of noise... screeching, blowing raspberries and saying "Rrrrrrrr". 

Yes, he is a genius. Our 4 month old knows the 18th letter of the alphabet. When you ask him he responds Rrrrr. You can ask him what a pirate says. He knows the answer Rrrrr. When you ask him what letter rose starts with he answers Rrrrr. Like I said, he is a genius. LOL.

This is the first time he sat up by himself before tipping over. 

We bought a Bumbo last week. He likes to be able to sit upright and we like having another spot to keep him entertained.



Like Father, Like Son. Both my boys are addicted to the TV. I took this picture in morning as I was getting ready for work and they were watching DIY. 


This creepy crawly gross bug is called a Jerusalem Cricket. I noticed it in the driveway when I was coming home from school. I have never seen anything like it. So you can see just how big it is we placed it next to a AA battery. According to the information we have seen online it is not poisonous but it has a very painful bite.

Happy Birthday

A message from Keaton...

Today is my Aunt Nicole's 30th birthday. My mommy bought some balloons so we could have a little party in Utah. If you see my Aunt Nicole today be sure to wish her a Happy Birthday!

I am getting bigger and stronger every day. I can roll over both ways -- from my tummy to my back and from my back to my tummy. I love playtime and this is my favorite toy. I love to explore all the different pieces and sounds. I am always smiling and giggling while I play.


Well I need to get back to keeping my Mommy and Daddy entertained.

I love you all oodles and oodles.

Love,
Keaton

xoxoxo

Note: Nicole's birthday is September 8th. I wrote this message last night and waited to post until this morning thinking that it would then post on the 8th but blogspot considers the date that you started the message as the posting date.

Rolie Polie Keaton

This morning Keaton rolled over for the first time. He rolled from his stomach onto his back. We actually missed it! I was cooking breakfast and Darren was eating and watching DIY (surprise, surprise). I put him back on his tummy and Darren pulled out the video camera. Within a few minutes he did it again. We were both cheering and telling him what a big boy he is. He just smiled from ear to ear.

I thought he was going to roll from his back to tummy first because he has been so close for the past week. He hadn't even attempted rolling the other way when he had tummy time. 

All that activity must have tired him out because now he is napping. 

ONE FOR THE MONEY...
TWO FOR THE SHOW...
THREE TO GET READY...
FOUR TO GO!!!!!     TAH DAH!!!!
