Six months ago my life changed more than I ever could have anticipated. Six months ago I was on my way to work, but had to go to a doctor's appointment first. Six month's ago I was told that we would be having a baby today, not tomorrow, not next week. Today. Well 6 months ago, today. Six months ago my life changed in the most dramatic way and I look back on it with tears of joy.
Can you believe Keagan was born 6 months ago? I cannot!
We are celebrating Keagan's 1/2 birthday today! We celebrated with shots. Whoo hoo! (I got one, too, to make him feel better. But I don't think it helped him out.)
Keagan is definitely the light of our lives. He is hilarious and has the most amazing facial expressions. He loves his mommy oh-so-much, but is pretty fond of daddy, too. He is starting to take preference to people, and show displeasure to being held by others. He is not scared of Santa, which surprises me. But he is scared of Dunker (the MSU horse mascot...pics to come to prove this). Very scared of him.
He loves my right shoulder; loves to snuggle it, loves to eat it, loves to lay his head on it. He does not like to be held like a baby, unless it is by me and I am getting ready to feed him. But if this is the case, I had better make it snappy in getting his meal going, or he gets mad. He continues to LOVE Kung Fu Panda, and does not stray from this movie (we have tried to introduce Finding Nemo, he could really care less). He will crane his neck to watch Kung Fu Panda, even turning his head upside down! It is so funny. We now use catch phrases from the movie in our daily conversations! (welcome to parent-hood)
Keagan has finally made a habit of rolling belly to back, he is learning to roll back to belly but hasn't mastered this yet. He is sitting with support, and finds that he can reach his toes pretty well in this position. He still loves bath time, and daddy and mommy get soaked every time. Bath toys seem to increase the amount of water that escapes the tub. He continues to love his reflection. He likes to take medicine, and helps the dropper into his mouth. He sleeps about 10 hours straight at night.
He HATES the booger-getter with a passion and gets so mad when you come at his nose with it. I wondered when this would happen as he used to enjoy (?) it! He doesn't particularly like to have shirts pulled over his head, you'd think he would be used to this but he still complains. He doesn't like to be left alone. He doesn't nap well at daycare, but his teachers still love him!
