Keegen 12 months

Keegs, at 12 months you...

  • swat away any food on a spoon, presumably because you think it's that yucky baby cereal/baby food mix?? The one exception is yogurt. You cry for more YoBaby yogurt. Maybe it's like ice cream to you?


  • like to feed yourself salmon, cheese, black beans, pears, avocado, cheerios, crackers, pasta & peas. Your favorite seems to be gnawing on a big strawberry


  • are sippy cup resistant. A friend of mine assured me you won't be going to kindergarten with a bottle, but that's what people said about using the potty for a certain older brother, and i now have my doubts...


  • FLY when crawling. i swear you are so fast. You're fast when cruising the furniture, too. You can stand alone for a second or two


  • still take two naps. Probably to make up for the fact that you are still NOT a stellar nighttime sleeper. You typically wake up SCREAMING at 4-5AM for a ba-ba. You don't wake up slowly and increase the volume. You are immediately LOUD and will not stop


  • love to play with Bode. He's psyched that you are getting better at that!


  • giggle with your brother which makes me laugh too. Pretty dang cute, the two of you


  • are a non-stop mover. You're still cuddly, but for just a brief second, then off you go


  • like Crocs. To chew on. Pretty gross considering where mine have been, but i assume they are nice and lightweight and feel good on your gums?


  • have 5 teeth. Two on bottom and three on top, but you chew like you've got a mouthful


  • still put everything in your mouth--mulch, rocks, crud you find in the carpet, anything that may be a choking hazard


  • will be playing just fine until you see me. Then you cry and whine to be picked up. I guess that's love, baby!...

Ethan had issues with cups. Man, it's quite the challenge. Good luck with that.

The potty training part made me laugh. I keep telling Xavier we've GOT to somehow figure out how to stay dry ALL DAY.
