Toddler Updates

I left the room for two minutes and came back to find this....

Easton likes to pull the cushions off the chairs and pretend he is the king (I have no idea where he came up with it) and Keagan loves it because then the chair is just the right height for her to climb on it.
I am not quite sure how Keagan got her shirt halfway off--probably with help from Easton.

I gave Keagan her first haircut last week. She was getting 'mullety'. Her hair reached all the way to her shoulders, but was thin at the bottom because it was her baby hair. While she was in the tub, I grabbed the bottom and chopped it. It was shorter than I wanted, but it looks cute.

This is Keagan's new favorite seat in the house. She climbs up and sits there like she is queen of the house.--she kind of is!

Yes, the bangs are still long, but I usually have a little elastic or clip in to keep them back--just not right before bed.

Happy Birthday Parker!

Happy birthday to Parker!! The big 3*0!

Thanks for being a great husband and daddy!

We love you!

Easton helping Daddy blow out his candles from his cake last night.

We surprised Parker at his office with some balloons. I asked Easton if we should take a Superman balloon to Daddy today and he said, "No." I asked him why and he told me, "Daddy wants a Star Wars balloon." So we got a Darth Vadar balloon instead.

Snow, snow, we love the snow!

So we have had snow for weeks, but I finally braved it yesterday with the kids. Mostly it was because I kept hoping for Parker to be home to stay indoors with Keagan, because I had forgotten that my sis-in-law had given me this snowsuit for Keagan. I am glad I remembered, because she had so much fun playing with us.

Before we braved the cold. Don't they look excited?
I pulled the kids around on the sled for a while and then I ran in to get my camera and came out to find Easton pulling his little sister.

They didn't get too far...

Easton was trying to feed Keagan the snow.

I hope they will be good buddies when they get older!

Am I Ready?

Many, many years ago a small red-head didn't walk until she was 17 months.

A little over a year ago, a little blond boy didn't walk until he was 19 months.

Another little red-head is 15 months. Am I ready for her to be walking? (Not when I see the toddlers running in the halls and up and down the aisles at church)

With Easton, I honestly didn't mind him walking late. People probably thought I was crazy to not be worried that he wasn't walking yet. I knew he could do it if he wanted to, but he just wasn't ready. (my kids tend to be very cautious) He was never a big baby, so carrying him when I needed to wasn't a problem (even when I was 8 months pregnant) and he crawled around the house and got into anything on his level anyway. And I knew I was a late walker, so that added to my patience.

Keagan is a tiny bit more brave than her big brother, not much, but a little. Am I ready for her to be climbing, walking, running, and everything that comes with that? I don't know yet--will get back to you....... But, this is a cute video, so enjoy!

Naughty, Naughty Keagan!

Now let me start by saying the water is orange because we used some fun bath fizzies that Santa brought and the wall is multi colored from some bath paints from Santa.

I had just gotten Keagan out of the tub and lotioned her up, brushed her hair and put on nice warm jammies. I went to hang up her towel and came back to find this!
She was so pleased with herself. It was such a pain trying to peel the soaking wet jammies and diaper off of her.

Don't worry, she always turns into my little sweetheart. This is how she has been since Grandma and Buddy gave her this new baby for Christmas--she always has to be holding it.

Easton's new superman/batman cape. (I made it--well, the girl at Enrichment really made it--she saw me having major troubles with the sewing machine and jumped in to help me--but I did cut the fabric out!)

Check out the extreme bedhead!
