A little of South Carolina

Dan, and I and Keaton just returned from a vacation in South Carolina to celebrate his graduation from medical school. It was such a great time! We spent some time at the beach, lounged by the gorgeous pools at our resort, and explored Charleston and the barrier islands. Here are a few pictures from the first download of pictures :)

The Starkey's Visit

A few weeks ago we were blessed to have Phil and Kourtni Starkey and their son Malakai come and stay with us. We had a fun weekend with them- went to the zoo, tried out Lion's Choice (wasn't terrible), and played at the park. Here are some shots...









The Big Day

Thursday, May 13th was a very important day for our family! Keaton turned 6 months old...Dan graduated form medical school...I received my white coat and clinic privileges...and we celebrated our 4 year anniversary. My parents came to visit to celebrate with us and we had an amazing weekend. On Sunday, we dedicated to raise Keaton to know Christ. Though we are a very busy family, it has been a long time since so many exciting things have happened at once! Here are some pictures from the events:

Keaton's Dedication



Keaton had his 6 month appt on Friday and everything is checking out well. Our only issue is that he spits up- a lot. Those who know him know I am not exaggerating! He still is a huge eater- we are talking 8-16 ounces every 2-4 hours. He is sleeping consistently through the night (most of the time 7-7 which is AMAZING) and he is still NOT a napper at all. He weighed in at 18 lbs 13 oz which is surprising still just over the 50%, and 27 in (75%). He is lunging forward now and only days away from crawling forward but he still just scoots backward. He loves dancing and singing and giggles a fair amount of the day. In the last few weeks he went to his first Cardinals game, had his first few play dates, and went swinging in the park for the first time. Every day (usually multiple times a day) Dan and I tell each other how much fun we have with him and how much we love being parents!









Dan starts his residency 5 weeks from today. We have a lot of family fun planned until then. We'll keep photos updated so you can see our adventures!

7 months!!!

Keaton is just barely 7 months and MOBILE! He is giving us a lot to do as he crawls at full speed around our little house. He said his first word "mama" when we were in Minnesota visiting my family.
