8 Months & A Week

Things about Keegan:

~He has started crawling. He's been toying around with the idea of crawling for several weeks now but finally has it down. He likes the army crawl, but I am sure that he'll be up on all fours in the near future.

~He finally has a tooth. After not getting a lot of sleep on Friday, I caught glimpse of his bottom, right, front tooth on Saturday morning. We're giving him teething pills that seem to be giving him some comfort, so we'll see how long it takes for a few more to come in.

~He's starting to eat cereal- real cereal, not baby ceral. We've been giving him cereal called Gerber Puffs, which come in different fruit flavors, and he loves them. He picks them up between his cute little fingers and he figured out very quickly where they needed to end up. Drew said he scarfed half the container tonight- maybe not a complete container, but he really does like them!!

~With all his crawling and rolling, we did have another first over the weekend...while crawling over dad in bed Sunday morning, he rolled a wee bit too far and found himself rolling off the bed. Luckily, one of our decorative pillows was on the ground, and he landed on that, but it was still scary for everyone involved. He wanted to cuddle for a few minutes, but then he just wanted to go play. I know that there will be many more falls, and bumps, and bruises, but the first one will always seem the scariest. We'll all get use to it.

~I'm very excited that the first thing he's really learned from me is to make boat noises with his mouth. You know when you flick your finger over your lips and make the litte motor boat noise? Well, I taught that to Keegan and he does it all the time- he has made it a complete game. We'll be driving to work in the morning and all of a sudden he justs starts doing it in the backseat and Drew and I just laugh- next? Drew is teaching him to clap. I'm hoping after that he'll pick up on the vacuuming!!!

He really does change and grow and learn something new everyday. We're having so much fun with him, and I'm really looking forward to celebrating the holidays with him!!
