Keaton is 4-Months-Old

Image
Today Keaton is 4-months-old. He really is a cutie pie. He smiles to big, his eyes squint. He is too curious about the camera and won't smile for it yet. He also sucks in air and does a little squeal when he smiles big. Drool and kicking feet usually follow the squeal. We are all ready for him to sleep through the night. Next month when we move him to the basement room, he will have to cry it out. I KNOW he is full! Last week he drank a 6 OZ. bottle in under a minute. He rolled over today for the first time! I called the other three kids in ( Kye was at church meetings) and we cheered on Keaton as he rolled from belly to back a few times! He is getting too big too fast.

Martha Washington

In Katelin's class, each student got to pick a famous person from the past to do a report on. Katelin picked Martha Washington. She was so excited to do it! Can I just say that doing homework with her is fun because she is interested and already knows how it's going to be done. I just help her create her idea. So when we read a bunch about Martha, I just sat and typed exactly what Katelin wanted me do and helped her with the correct grammar as best as I could. and for the record I spelled it GRAMMER before spell check corrected me!!. Then she picked pictures from the internet that she felt were appropriate for her poster. I found a dress at the D.I. that worked for the time period and borrowed a crocheted table runner from a neighbor for a shawl. I tried to tuck it in like Martha, but it felt "weird" to Katelin. So we tied it off with a silly band! Grandma Joyce and cousin Brady were able to come down just in time to see the report. She did a great job. She wasn't...

Keaton and Food

Image
Keaton is known for his frequent feedings followed by big burps and happy smiles. Lately he has been so interested in what we eat. So interested that he starts wiggling his entire body and drooling. He also makes little cooing noises. So this night, Katelin was holding Keaton while having some noodles. He reached out and grabbed all the noodles and started waving them around. The kids were laughing so hard as I ran to get the camera. After he was all cleaned up he grabbed the fork and was ready to eat! Katelin said to me, "I am going to remember this night forever! Keaton is so funny!" and she will remember it because I took a photo and wrote about it. :)

What?
