A Very Special Valentine's Day

In an effort to take this holiday's embarassing pictures of Keegan, I decided to try my hand at my first baby photo shoot. I grabbed some props from work, laid out some bed sheets, cut out some construction paper, and charged my camera. I wanted to make the cutest little Cupid ever and I think I did a pretty good job. I emailed some of the finals off to a girlfriend who helped me with the editing by adding the words and the heart shapes. She made them into what I couldn't make them on my own-Perfect!!! And while some folks mention often that these pictures will be nothing but embarassing when Keegan is older, I simply remember how happy he was playing in the blankets and eating the paper hearts. While he might feel embarassed later, he and his mama had a fun morning playing dress up and make believe. He has truly struck my heart with his love potion!!!

This one might be my favorite...

As Keegan's Valentine gift to his daddy, he decided to make a Heart Brownie for tonight's dessert. He asked me to help with the pouring and mixing stages, but he did the rest- including some of the clean up. He sat in his high chair in the kitchen and watched me work my magic with all my fun kitchen gadgets that move and spin and make fun, loud noises. We got the batter mixed and poured into the mold and watched through the window in the stove door as it baked into its gooey goodness. It turned out really well and Keegan and I had a great time- clearly his favorite part was licking the beaters afterwards. Who knows, maybe we have a chef in the making...in him, that is!

Happy Valentine's Day to all!!!!
