Naked Baby

Keenan had a few changes this day - Mom didn't pack enough clothes. He sure enjoyed baby Piper. We spent our whole day there on Friday helping out ~ but more like hindering mom and baby. :)

C'me On Mom... Enough Pictures Today Already!

 

 

 

Play Pictures

 

 

 

 

Just a few more pictures today - I had to document how he likes to stand at the door and laugh at Honey on the other side. He gets so tickled that they are on opposite sides of the glass.

On The Field...

Today wasn't the first time Keenan was on a soccer field, but it was the first day he actually showed interest. He had so much energy and enthusiasm towards all the kids and their soccer gear. They were all quite entralled with him as their coaches son. They were very curious about his stage in life and whether he could walk or talk. I was encouraged by 13 year old Cole to start him early on piano and guitar lessons. I think we will take his advice in the future.

At one point, Keenan was trying his hardest to get into the middle of the field with the guys as they practiced - he tried on two occasions to stand up on his own and looked like he was ready to run towards them. He would put his head on the grass out of frustration and try to do it again. I had images in my head of him just taking off in a sprint. He was definitely sprinting towards them in his head. He is thinking he wants to do things that his body just isn't ready to do yet. I can imagine that must be discouraging for him at times.

The boys won both games today ~ They claimed Keenan as their mascot and Im thinking he was a little good luck charm on the sidelines as well...

He is becoming quite famous for these - so called - 'Trump Moments' with his hair blowing in the wind (as in the second picture below)

 

 

 

 

First Time Swinging

This video goes back a couple months, but it was the first time Keenan was in a swing. His swinging pal - Frances - was kind enough to be on a date with him that day. He wasn't quite sure what to think about it all.

Piper is here!

 

Oh what a beautiful baby! I was in heaven in this picture holding her on her first day of life. What a huge priviledge and did it give me the itch... Rebecca and Clay are going to be the best parents and we could not be happier. We miss our families dearly but they help us pretend they are our Nashville 'family' and we cannot wait to watch this little girl grow over the years!

Have you ever seen a mom look this good after labor ~ seriously? If I didn't know any better I would say that I looked more like the tired, exhausted new mom in this picture.

GREAT DAY

We got wonderful news this morning about Grandpa Dave and then spent a lovely day today at the park swinging with Eleanor and Frances. Music was playing at the little cafe, ducks were quacking at us, snowcones were available, and the kids got filthy playing in the dirt. What fun! I thank God every day that I spend all these wonderful summer moments with Keenan. I made the best decision of my life to stay home with him and enjoy his growth during this first year of life. We have met some of the greatest friends ~

We can look at life differently today and take a deep breath, feeling very fortunate for all these moments. There is a huge peace that has come across me today - Life is too short to not slow down and enjoy every second.
