Keegen at 2

So, some two months past your second birthday, you:

have wild hair. I've contemplated cutting it, but i don't know that that would help anything. And i honestly love how crazy it is. Goes perfectly with your personality.

are the definition of Mr. Messy.

talk. A LOT.

love love LOVE fruit. Any and all. But especially bananas, apples, grapes, raspberries and strawberries.

common answers to requests/questions of late--"why?", "because", "I will"--example: Me: "Keegen, eat your chicken!" Keegen: "I will eat my chicken!" (as he grabs another grape).

try really hard to keep up with big brother. And you guys play really well together.

Fred-Flinstone your trike and are starting to ride a scooter.

have terrifying jumping skills. You jump off of the ottoman, off of the chair, off of the high steps, with zero thoughts about your own safety.

are still madly in love with your binkies. We'd weaned you to only having them when you're sleeping, but they've somehow crept back in lately. You are very happy to sleep with one in your mouth while holding four in your hands.

are in that determined to "do it myself!" stage.

in time for this post, for the very first and what had better be last time, BIT your brother on his belly. When I asked you the first time why you bit him, your response? "Beca-ause."

There's so much more to you. You are so much fun and i'm so glad you're a part of our family!

This video doesn't do the jumping justice, but will have to do.

What a funny little man. It amazes me how they come equipped with baditude and all!! The fountains looked like fun and I always think that experiences like that are what every kid should have. Besides, it's about the only time it's socially acceptable to run through water in public...you got to do it when you're young!

Oh man! Ethan did that exact same thing with binkies! One in mouth, four in hands.
