Even with life in a whirlwind, Keaton manages to capture all of our thought and attention- he is just changing so much each day! He just stands and looks at us and talks without stopping for minutes- I can tell he thinks we understand but we don't! He has added a lot more words to his vocabulary- my favorite being "tank you." He points and names cars, cows, balls, books, mama, dada, gramma, papa, dogs, crackers, cookies, and babas. It's amazing to be able to communicate with him- especially when he follows directions like "bring it here" and "kiss/hug." Interesting toys he loves include jars of vaseline (which we finally taped closed), remote controls/cell phones, and cans of Coke. Weird favorite foods are lemons, canned green beans, canned peas/carrots and lima beans, jello, unsweetened iced tea, and anything he can "dip." My favorite new tricks he's learned is how to "pretend" to smell flowers in books and make the dogs slurping noises when he holds up his bottle or sippy cup for them. So funny! His oldie-but-goodie favorites are balls of any kind. He shoots baskets in our living room, kicks and throws, and has started to try and catch balls- a few times successfully!
About a month ago Mickey Mouse Magic Show came to St. Louis and Dan took Keaton (Mickey is his favorite). Also, Keaton recently returned from a guys trip with daddy to visit papa Steve in Palm Springs. From what I hear he had a blast playing in the pool in his muscle man suit and taking multiple daily trips to the park. Thanks for the fun week, Dad!

Baby Update: Bean K (due September) is about the size of a lime- measuring over 2 inches!!! It's amazing such a little being can cause so much harm :) Those who see me daily know how incredibly sick and tired I am- much worse than my experience with Keaton. At least I am finally taking my nausea medication prn (only a few times a week) so I must be feeling somewhat better. I have no one to complain to because I tell Dan how exhausted I am and then feel guilty because he works 35 hours straight without food or sleep. Wow, am I ever glad I didn't go to medical school!!! Anyway, as first trimester comes to a close I am starting to get more and more excited about meeting this little bean. After boards my mission is going to be to find out where he or she is going to sleep in our 2 bedroom house!!!
