Keegan turned 15 months old on Thursday and I'm still trying to wrap my head around how my baby has turned into a toddler so quickly! It's so fun watching him grow and learn new things but I want to freeze him at this age.
Our little guy is on the go from sun up till sun down. He must burn 5,000 calories a day which I guess is why he also eats from sun up till sun down! He's not a picky eater and pretty much eats anything we give him but he has a love affair with bananas. He eats one, sometimes two a day but only because I say no the other eight times he walks over and points to the fruit bowl. Strawberry yogurt and watermelon are also favorites and I think he could take down an entire box of bunny grahams in a day if I would let him!
He is pretty much into everything. We've had to baby proof twice as much as we did with Ava. If something does not look like a toy he is all over it; TV and stereo remote controls, DVD baskets, our phones and laptop, my kitchen broom, the revolving trash can lid--the list goes on. But most of all he loves to get into the dishwasher. He hears it open and he runs! I've walked away from it opened for just a second to find him walking away with forks in each hand. I've quickly learned that it's best to unload and load while he is napping.
He loves to wear Daddy's hats around the house. The other night he found this one on the floor of our bedroom and came out to show off.
He gets so excited when he knows he's being cute. He babbles throughout the day but he doesn't say much yet. He is a man of few words-- Mamamama, Dadadada, Yeah-Yeah (for yes) and bubble (when asking for Bubble Guppies).
He adores animals, especially dogs and has no fear of them. He chases Aunt Kara's Chihuahua and Nana's dachshund around at every family gathering and it's the only animal noise he will mimic right now. You can ask him what a cow or pig says but you'll find that they say 'ruff ruff' as well. We kept our neighbor's dog for a few days last week and Keegan followed the dog around everywhere, patting her on the back and bringing her toys and food.
He is still quite a Mama's boy and has terrible separation anxiety at church. He cries most of the time we are gone :-(. I know one day he will wave and run into his classroom and I am praying that happens sooner rather than later.
He is such a lovable little boy. He runs circles around us but will stop randomly to "give love" to us. And when I say "give love" I mean either a giant open mouth kiss on the face while he holds our cheeks or he bends into us he leaning his head forward into us. It's so funny and so precious. He is full of energy and full of love and we are so thankful for this sweet boy!
