Update

Here are some pictures from the last week or so.  The first few are of Keegan.  He is such a good, happy baby.  He smiles all the time and is even starting to laugh out loud now.  He loves to look at things above him, like mobiles, fans, lights and his jungle friends when he is under his play mat.  He loves his big brother and is always trying to find him.  He can now also follow our voices or faces if we are moving around.  Keegan usually only gets up one time in the middle of the night (between 3 and 4) but did sleep through the night once so we are hoping that becomes consistent soon!  I feel like Keegan gets bigger every day and it makes me really sad.  I just want him to stay a little baby!!

 This is Keegan doing his "Tummy Time."  He did great!!

Here are a few pictures of Landon.  He loves being a big brother and is still really great with Keegan.  He is always making him smile and laugh and will bring him a pacifier if he needs it or sing to him if he isn't happy.  He hates to hear Keegan cry so he does anything he can to make him happy.  He is always looking out for his little brother.  Landon loves to pick out his clothes and dress himself.  He also still loves anything Sesame.  Lately he has been playing with puzzles a lot, reading books, drawing, coloring, practicing his letters and painting.  He plays really well by himself but loves when we play with him as well.  It amazes me to see how grown up Landon looks and acts.  It actually makes me really sad because he is growing up so fast. I can't wait to see the two boys play together when Keegan is big enough.  

This is Landon showing me his outfit one morning when he got dressed on his own.

                                                

   Landon has loved letters for a long time.  Lately he has been practicing how to write his name and all of our names.  He can spell all of them but has really been working on his letters.  Landon wrote his name really well last week and we took a picture of it....here it is!!!

                                      

When Landon stays in bed and goes right to sleep he gets a sticker.  When he gets 5 stickers, he gets a treat.  Yesterday morning Matt made him rainbow pancakes for one of his treats.  He loved them and of course liked the purple pancakes the best!!

                                                  

Yummy!!!

                                                   

 Here are a few pictures of the boys together.  I love how they love each other so much already.  I hope it always stays that way!!!

We went to Little Italy for my birthday dinner.  This is a family pic when we got back.

                                                

Have a great week everyone :)

Happy 30th Birthday Kelsey!

Today Kelsey turns 30!  We had a party for her last night, with some of her friends from school and their families.  It was a lot of fun for her since she hasn't been able to hang out with them on a daily basis for the past couple months.  Landon had a great time with the other kids too.  Here's a few pics from the party and a few from the past week.

Cupcakes Landon & I made.  They are chocolate cake with Peanut Butter balls in the middle and homemade Peanut Butter Buttercream frosting.  Topped with a mini Reece's and shaved chocolate.  They were delicious!

This past week Keegan went to the dr. for his 2 month checkup.  Here is the after-effect with his 3 bandaids from his shots.  He was 24 inches long (79%) and weighed just under 14 lbs (85th%)

 Last weekend it was nice and Landon and I busted out the kites he got for Easter.  We finally got them to fly.

First Trips

Landon took his first trip in the car to Illinois when he was almost one month old. Keegan took his first trip in the car to Illinois when he was almost two months old. I took similar pictures of both boys and I think they look identical! I tried to post the pics side by side but it wouldn't let me so you will have to scroll down a little to see both pics at the same time. A lot of people tell us they can definitely see the resemblance between the boys, but other people say they don't look alike. Let us know what you think!!

Landon

Keegan

Here are a couple more pictures of the boys from our trip to Illinois last week and our trip back to Ohio. They are both such great travelers and did a really good job in the car. Since we make a lot of trips in the car, we are very lucky and thankful for this!!

Chicago

On our way back to Ohio from Illinois, we decided to stop in Chicago for a little bit to break up the trip. We went to Millennium Park to see the "Bean" and then went across the street to get smoothies at Jamba Juice. It was a beautiful day and all the flowers in the park were blooming.

Here is an upclose picture of the bean. It is pretty big. It is obviously shaped like a giant bean and it is also a mirror. You can walk all the way around it and under it. We had never seen it before so it was pretty neat.

Easter

Landon loved coloring Easter eggs this year. He wrote our names on the eggs and even colored some eggs like Sesame characters with Daddy's help. Landon also enjoyed eating the hard boiled eggs this year. He did a great job and it was so much fun!

Showing Keegan his egg

Although you can't really tell in this pic, that is his "Count" egg

All of our eggs

Posing with the eggs

We headed to Illinois this year for Easter. We had Easter with my family on Saturday. Landon, Adelin and Chloe had a great time finding the Easter eggs in my parents backyard.

On Easter morning, we headed to Sherman for church and then to Matt's parents house to have Easter with his side of the family. Landon and Keegan got to open their Easter baskets after church. Here Landon is with his, showing us his "Elmo" eggs.
