NINER





Keegan is 9 months old. Which means we only have 3 months until Xmas! This kid, man we just love him so much and he's such a cool little guy. He loves to stand up, and turn around and smile. He still only has 2 teeth, but we swear weekly that more are coming in. The only thing he says is "DAH DAH DAH" and no real affiliation to Daddy. He will wave bye bye, but again, we think it's just luck that he does it when we say Bye Bye. (Interruption- Brian just walked in and said "What's on your face?" to which I looked in the mirror and saw Destin on my my cheek and forehead. The job of Mom just never ends)

Keegan is a carb baby, happy with Cheerios, crackers, and any sort of 'snacks'. Yogurt is also a hit! Still on the bottle, not a fan of the sippy, although the straw version we can get a hit or two. He crawls up on all fours, and sometimes stands alone for like 5 seconds. He is really so easy, we just sit and smile at how great the little guy is. Again, his grin is so wide, and he laughs like an old man. His hair is sparse, but what's there is super blonde like his big sis. He loves it when his Nana watches him and likes to listen Papa play guitar. Knock on wood but he's been super healthy with no ear infections. Boo Boo bear, we are so happy that you turned us into a family of Four. We love you!

Another Bday party

Maggie had a semi- 'real' bday party at this huge old gym nearby, 21 kids and then their associated parents showed up:




1/2 the kids just liked making Bri sprint around and they chased him!



Even the Mulloy side made it out for the event. Mike flew up for both this and his 20 year reunion and one of the parties gave him a hang over, guess which one?!




Sweet Mags had to wait until AFTER her nap to open all these! Then WE had to write the thank yous! Next party, year four! (fyi, those are not my toes...)

A pic of Mom for once

So for once Brian had the camera so there is proof I do really exist. Mom and two kiddos, Mom, Mags and crazy Elmo cake, and then just a mom and Mags shot all posted below. Enjoy!

SHE'S THREE!

We officially have a three year old in the house! And she knows it! Magpie is full of questions, still takes good naps, prefers fruit to any other food, loves playing and smushing her little brother, sleeps in a big girl bed, loves going on walks with her Nana, and wrestling with dad, and likes unloading the dishwasher with Mom. Her favorite color is pink (uggg) favorite THING is Dora, and her favorite buddy is of course Sadie. She'll be the oldest cousin on dad's side, and will soon be getting two new cousins from Kiki and Lisa (who, by the way she can't really tell apart, and the fact that they are both pregnant with curly brown hair and freckles makes it even harder for a 3 year old). She's our favorite little monkey and we had such a great Labor Day birthday with her!

Mags started off the day with a new apron!


Next was cooking whole wheat blueberry pancakes with Uncle Billy, Mike, Dad, and Kiki


Opening gifts from Mike and Jen before they headed back to San Diego for Jen's new school year and Mike's cancelled Fed Ex trip!


Showing off her new puma track suit from Lisa and Tom. She said "It has kitty cats on the back!!!"


Heading down to the village for some birthday bouncing and ice cream with the gang: (check out Kiki's 30 week belly!)


Bouncing on the super tramp contraption for a whole 5 minutes! (worth every dime to see her catch on!)


Special day = her OWN bottle of Gatoraid and a matching orange mustachio


Blowing out the candle. Her shirt says Life Is Good and aint that the truth! Thanks Nana and Pops for hosting us! More pics to follow!

The Widest Grinned 8 month old


Keegan, Baby Kong, Big K, Boo Boo Bear, Buddo, our little guy... whatever we might call him, is officially 8 months! This guy is so chill and fun to have around, and he really has just the widest grin ever, as you can see in these pictures.

He loves Cheerios, Stars, cheese, some days a bottle, and other days not. Baby K happily sits up, moves around a little, but no official crawling. His favorite position is to be standing but he's not very good at it. His favorite toy is far and above his big sister Maggie, and he lights up any time Euchre walks in the room- here's a shot where he's NOT smiling:
I think he's just too cute! Of course, I'm just his mom...
