Airplane pics.

A few pictures from the flights. Not his first time traveling by plane, yet this age was quite a bit more difficult. He did the best he could and we were really proud of him. We used a baby b'air life vest for the flight. People thought we were crazy but it really helped keep him still during the flight. It buckles him into my seat. I just felt safer this way - regardless if it really was or not.

Naples Art Show

We went to Naples for the afternoon when we were in Florida. Keenan loves the sculptures and they took his picture next to one of them for the Naples Daily News.

Christmas on Fort Myers Beach

Early Christmas

We had our family Christmas yesterday here at home before we go to Florida. We realize he doesn't quite understand Christmas yet - but he sure understands getting gifts. His dad got him his first train track. The starter set - I have a feeling there will be many many more Thomas gifts over the next few years... He hasn't put the train down.

He has also just started standing on his own and walking most of the time. Ben explained it like a beginner on ice skates that has to run into something to stop... that is exactly what he looks like with his arms straight out.

Yesterday was a huge day of growth for him. We watched him get better walking from the morning to the evening. It seemed to happen so quickly.

Comedian

Have we failed to mention what a jokester Keenan is these days? He is constantly trying to make us laugh by doing silly things. He is also going to be one of those people that laughs at his own jokes...it's too funny!

Pajama Play Date at Carolyn's

Bailey wasn't sure to know what to think about Keenan in her wagon. Then she started pushing him around - it was adorable!
