Keegen 13 months



Hmmmm....do i keep doing this every month? I think you're still growing and changing a lot each month, so we'll stick with it for now.

You:
  • seem very close to taking your first step. You stand on your own for quite a long time until you decide to drop back down to your knees. For now you are content to cruise and crawl with lightening speeds


  • drink from sippy cups and straws. You take the "shot" approach--throwing back the beverage and filling your mouth to capacity and then swallowing. This picture of you was the first time you were successful with a straw--with a chocolate marshmallow malt. You're no dummy


  • are very very very talkative and very very very loud. You have a lot to say and want to make sure you are heard over the din of everything else going on


  • sleep pretty well at night. For the most part you sleep from 6:30-7PM til 6AM. Sometimes you try a 5AM wake-up call, but I'm trying to phase that out and would love it if you'd sleep til 7AM. That seems to me a sane time to get up. But, you have your own ideas...


  • point to things while babbling and gesture a lot


  • are a great smoocher. Love your kisses!
