Back Home in North Dakota Part 2

Had some fun with Bob and Sharon.
Hamming it up with Aunt Jolene.
Already learning how to handle money. That may come in handy some day.

Much more fun to come I'm sure.

Back Home in North Dakota Part 1

This cartoon is much more cool on Grandpa and Grandma's big tv.
Are you sure this dog doesn't bite?
Keagan's first frozen drink. Of course Grandma kept the alcohol out of my glass.
I think this piece goes next, Grandpa.
See. I told you I could do it.

Helping with the laundry on Mother's Day

I helped load the laundry machine without letting go of my bag of candy.

Keagan 101

Every day - it gets more interesting to try and figure out what Keagan is saying - because he's constantly adding new words to his vocabulary.

Today's addition: "Chabanas".

He was adamant that I not toch the chabanas. It was early - and it took me a while to realize he was mad because I was taking him out of his "pajamas".

Gotta love toddlers.

Getting Keagan Ready For Bedtime

This is how Mommy makes sure I sleep through the night.

Keagan's New (sort of) Room

Today Mommy took down my crib. I officially have a big boy room now. But she still has to get rid of some of the toys I'm too big for.

Naptime

Success!

Well - at least for one night. Keagan slept in his big boy bed last night. He went to bed at 8pm - and didn't get out of bed once all night. Woke up at 7:30 am -and waited until Mommy came to get him. Then he even topped it off by going to the bathroom in the big boy potty. Not a bad first night experiment.... now let's see how long that successful trend continues.

I'm Getting So Big!

Look who just got a big boy bed.

This thing's fun to play on.

Puppy likes it too.

It's even comfortable to lay down on. We'll see how it goes when I try to make him sleep on it.

A Major Milestone

For those of you playing along at home - I apologize for not updating the site for quite a while. I will try to get some new pictures of the little man up soon.

Yesterday we marked a small victory - or a major one in my book. My son finally decided to call himself "Keagan". For the longest time - he's insisted that his name was "Deedee". No matter how hard I tried to get him to say Keagan - he'd never do it.

Conversations usually went something like this:
Me: Keagan. Say Key
K: Key
Me: Say "gan"
K: Gan
Me: Keagan
K: Deedee (or Thomas - depending on his mood)

Yesterday he decided that it was fun to see Mommy do major cheers when he said "Keagan" - so he's finally learning. He also thinks it's a lot of fun to say his middle name - Abayneh". Whatever works for him.

He's also started to potty train - which is an interesting adventure. Usually he only tell s me that he has to go potty when he's trying to avoid going to sleep. He's smarter than he should be.

I will try to get pictures up soon.
