Ten Months!

Keegan is TEN months old today!  I can't believe how much our baby has grown!
He is 19 pounds of intense energy.  He crawls, scoots and even cruises around the house with his toys. He even walks around the sofa while holding on.   The only task more challenging than trying to change his diaper these days is trying to get a good picture of him.  Some days I consider both my "work out" for the day.  At the sight of a new diaper or a camera in my hand, he turns into the fastest little ten month old I have ever seen.  Eighty percent of the pictures I take of him look just like this...

He talks all the time although we can still only make out 'Da Da.'  He thinks the word 'no' is hilarious and continues to laugh at us when we use it. 


He still gets up between 2am and 3am every night but after a bottle he goes right back down until 8:00 most mornings.  I don't mind the one night feeding at all-- And if I'm being honest, each night I'm a little scared that it may be the last time he needs me to rock him back to sleep.  Hopefully I won't be the crazy mom trying to rock him to sleep when he's five.



It's so fun to watch his little personality develop.  He is not gentle but he is so sweet.  He gives hugs and wet kisses and he is always concerned for big sister.  If she cries he is always soon to follow.  And as rambunctious as he is, he still loves to be held at certain parts of the day. 

He is strong and determined. His little temper shows up when he is unable to get something to work the way he wants, like removing a toy that's too heavy from his basket or turning his push-along around after hitting a wall.  And he continues his fit even after we help him, angry that he couldn't do it himself.  EXACTLY like his big sister! 


Keegan, you are so precious to us.  You are amazing and every morning that I pick you up out of your crib I give thanks for the gift that you are.  We love you sweet boy!
