Our Baby Kong, who rolled into our lives 2 years ago with record-breaking size is now a funny little 2 year old. Although Maggie would make us laugh as a toddler, Keegan is truly a little comedian. He went from not talking much to BARKING orders. He'll shout out "UP HIGH" when he wants to sit on my grandma's stool, rather than a chair. "MY'S" is another command which means he wants to do it. He recently switched from calling Maggie "Mae Mae" to a full up "Maggie" with an emphasis on the G. He loves our friend's two boys Jack and Cooper (Pepper to Keegan) and will cry if he doesn't get to see them. Here he is with his birthday hat and a super excited sister.
He likes to share and if I get him a special treat he'll make sure I get one for Maggie too. He's got two super soft blankies that he'd do anything for. He goes down easily to sleep and pulls a solid 12 plus hours at night along with a good nap. He still won't drink milk but will go to town on some yogurt, especially Grandpa's favorite coffee yogurt. He's all about balls, and even sleeps with a ball in his bed. He loves to throw, kick, and catch. This usually entails knocking over a wine glass or too.
And not to brag, but this little boy is POLITE! He says "Tank You" and "Peas" every time. Like every time. If you bring him something, say his cereal and walk away he'll yell "TANK YOU" at you until acknowledged. Don't mention the word cookie around him, he won't stop yelling it until he gets one.
Here are Daddy and Keegan Skyping with cousin Addie and Uncle Tom and his godmother Lisa.
Keegan loves baths and will stay in there for an hour if allowed. He's not a huge eater, but when he wants to eat you'll know because he'll order to "EAT NACK" (snack) and then point to food and say "MOUTH" meaning he wants it in his mouth. And now. He loves Elmo, and Seasame Street is my unpaid sitter if I need an hour break from the blonde wrecking ball. He also loves "how to Train a Dragon" and asks for it by saying "Watch ROAR, watch ROAR"
To Keegan, if he has one sock and needs a second sock, that second sock is then a 'BLUE' sock. Say I give him one yogurt but he wants another flavor, he'll yell, "NO, BLUE yogurt"! We were at the gym and there was a baby there- he asked me "Connor?" and I said, "No, Keegan that's not Connor! That's another baby!" then he replied "Oh, Blue Connor". Interesting how his mind works. Keegan is also very obedient and if you tell him something he'll say "oh Tay!" and go with the flow. Poor guy got shirked on his birthday this year as it was the day of Connor's surgery... he still got to celebrate with a cupcake though
Stats: Um, gotta find them. We love you Boo Boo bear!
Live shot with cousin Addie/Tom and mom and dad. The only shot I have where both parents are with him! How different than the gazillion shots we had with Maggie!
