Keith at the park

The weather was amazing today so Keith and I went to the park. We went for a walk first so that I could get some exercise, and then we stopped at the playground. He had a blast at the playground. The only problems are that he is all boy, loves to climb, has no fear, and wants to do everything himself. Needless to say we had a few falls, but no tears!

He was playing find mommy with me and the pole:)
This is an example of my all boy Keith. He decided he could get down only this way and all by himself. Of course he got down by falling on his stomach and face!
He got up, brushed off his hands, and went back to playing.
These "bells" make different sounds when you hit them and he kept trying to figure out how they made noises.

Here are some pictures from our walk. We had so much fun looking at the trees, finding different leaves, listening to birds, and watching sqirrels.We would find leaves and he would play with them and then throw them.
Here he is looking at be after throwing them, like "what, I didn't do anything".
After he throws all the leaves, he has to look to see where they all went.

Keith and his Snoopy

I've been taking pictures of Keith once he has gone to sleep. It is so adorable how snuggles up to Snoopy.

Sometimes he uses Snoopy as a pillow.
Sometimes snoopy is just there.
Tonight, Snoopy was just being smotherd by Keith. It doesn't matter where Snoopy is as long as he is near by him:)
Keith LOVES to be outside. We spend alot of time with our neighbors and he loves to get the boys baseball bat.
He may not know exactly what to do with it yet, but we will work on that!
Of course, I am trying to introduce basketball to him. But I think this ball is a little to big:)
Keith loves to play with ballons, but he always lays on them and pops them.

Frisbee Golf and New Sandbox

We had a visit from Keith's Uncle Brian this past weekend. We all went out and played frisbee golf, we had a blast. Keith wasn't allowed out of his stroller and he wasn't very happy about that. He held onto the yellow frisbee the whole time, and by the end of the golf outing he was having a good time:)

LaLa and PaPa insisted Keith needed a sand box in the backyard. He loves to get into it and we had to make a rule, he can only play in the sandbox on bath night!! He gets sand EVERYWHERE!

Keith is striking a pose in the sandbox.


The majority of the sand is no longer in the sandbox. It is on the patio, the table, the dogs, us, and Keith! He has so much fun outside and it is so worth the srub down afterwards:)

15 Months Old!

Keith turned 15 months on September 4th. He is almost 32 inches long and weighs 26 lbs:) He is a big boy but not the biggest in his age group (only 75%). He is still loving to talk up a storm even if no one is listening. Every morning he gets up and all he talks about is DaDa for a about an hour. Jerry leaves before he gets up so he has a hard time adjusting to the fact that he doesn't know where Daddy is. He says DaDa Bye Bye, DaDa work, he says those using his Keith words of course:)

This is our most recent family picture taken at my dad's 60th birthday weekend.
Keith was trying on his big cousin Grant's Taekwondo helmet. He just looks too cute:)
All mommies have to have pictures of their kids in the bathtub that they can pull out when the girlfriends start coming over. Sorry Keith!!Keith and Grant taking a bath together. Grant taught Keith this new trick about what to do if you are thirsty and in the bathtub.

This is Keith with his Aunt Katherine and Uncle Jon. Keith is all of 15 months and wants to walk and walk BY HIMSELF: Jerry and Mom
This is my favorite picture of my Dad with Keith. This was taken the end of the birthday weekend. Keith loves to go anywhere his Papa is going!
I take so many pictures of Keith that now when he sees a camera he does this silly forced "cheese". But I took the picture anyways. Keith with his LaLa
Keith and Mommy:) I am really enjoying my time with Keith. I am now working only on Mondays, and I have the rest of the week off with Keith. We enjoy going to the gym together, playing outside, reading books, playing blocks, but most of all we enjoy our time nursing together. We are on Keith's schedule and will wean when he decides to, maybe around 2. I didn't include any pictures for obvious reasons;)

Labor Day Weekend

We had a great Labor Day weekend. LaLa and PaPa came to SC and we had a blast. There are a lot of pictures so enjoy!

Keith enjoying his first icecream cone, he was wondering why we waited so long to give him one of these!
This is at the Labor Day parade in our town, Keith was just holding onto the first thing he could find which ended up being his Daddy's ears:)
Mommy and Keith at the Parade, we had a lot of fun. He loved it all except for the motorcycles; they were to loud for him!

LaLa and PaPa bought Keith this slide after he wouldn't stay off of the ladder outside. See below for some great pictures! And no, our dog does not have two butts. There are two dogs behind Keith.

Dad and Jerry were installing rain gutters on our house, look closely at the bottom. Keith thought it was so much fun to scare his LaLa and Mommy by climbing up the ladder trying to help the guys:)

He really had to concentrate on getting up the ladder. This is his serious face!



Keith is learning that the things he does will cause a reaction. He was taking a ball and rolling it down the pipe and it was coming out the other side. Then, he went and picked up the ball and did it again. He did this for at least 20 minutes.

One of his new favorite things to do is to bring books to someone so they can read to him. Here is Keith and LaLa reading together.

He is also enjoying building with his blocks and then knocking them down.
