Ahhhhh.... It's been so long!


Even as I nervously prepare for the craziness that lies ahead raising 2 kiddos under 2, I have to admit these last few months have been nutso, too! Up until last week I have been working full time on internships for optometry school. Dan is his usual very busy, and Keaton is growing and changing a ton every day. Pregnancy exhaustion has been 10x worse with the combination. However, I have got to get some things written down about our summer and Keaton's latest...

Here are some photos from our MInnesota vacation visiting "Papa" and "Gabu"

Learning to fish with grandma

I learned to knit and made two newborn hats for my at home amatuer photoshoot

Keaton's latests

Loves Thomas "Humbee" the Tank Engine- One day he just came home and started playing with trains and asking to watch Thomas on TV.
Counts to 10, but 5 consistently. Loves counting stairs and fingers and toes.
Sings the ABCs (mostly) and knows most letters. He LOVES letters and pointing them out everywhere we go.
Uses the potty sparingly. Potty training isn't something we've really tackled yet with a new baby expected soon.
Says full sentences and refers to himself as Keke. "Keke get down." "Humbee go boom."
Loves to have people kiss his booboos.
Enjoyed many many "pops" (freezer treats) during vacation in MN.
Answers "who's the president?" with an enthusiastic "Ohhhhh BAMA"
Follows simple instructions like "go get that and bring it to..." and "forwards, backwards, stop, go, run, walk, kiss, hug"
Points to "baby" and kisses him in mommy's tummy.
Navigates grandma's IPhone- especially loves to play Crash Kart
