Brothers

I can't believe how fast my two little boys are growing up. Myles is nearly 2 months old already. The time has gone so quickly. We are finally adjusting to having him here and Keegan is getting along with him pretty well. I even hear him singing Twinkle Twinkle to Myles sometimes and he is always sure to say "I love you baby brother" before going to bed. He likes to touch Myles face and give him kisses and he doesn't really understand right now why he can't do that because he has a cold and I am trying hard not to let Myles get a bad case of it. Keegan is such a sweetie and he is really learning his manners. He says please, and thank you and no thank you, and your welcome most of the time. He still struggles with I'm sorry but we are working on that. Right now Keegan favorite thing to do is go outside and ride on the train. I will have to take a picture of him doing that one of these days. But he absolutely loves it. It is a little battery operated train that has a track and he can sit on it and go around in circles. That was a good garage sale find. Keegan loves being outside and it doesn't matter if it is rain or shine. He just wants to be out there doing what little boys do. Getting into things he shouldn't (like dog poop) and getting dirty in whatever dirt he can find. Keegan is talking really good and saying full sentences. You can almost have a conversation with him. He is super funny. We saw uncle Damon the other day in town and when we stopped to talk for a minute he made uncle Damon laugh by showing him all his funny faces. He isn't always a cutie though. The last few weeks we have taken him to an indoor playland where he can run around and play and we have discovered he is a bully. Each time that we have gone there have only been 1 or 2 other kids there and Keegan pushes them and takes their toys away and the worst was yesterday he slapped a girl really hard across the face. I was horrified. Why does he do this. We don't slap or hit him so I don't know where he learns it. He isn't around other kids often so he doesn't learn it from them. And I am guessing because he isn't around other kids that is why he is possesive of everything. Definately something we have to work on. Keegan is now sleeping in his big boy bed every night. We took the crib from his room the other day and put it in what is going to be Myles room. Keegan still goes in there and says "Keegan's baby bed". We haven't started potty training just yet because there is so much going on right now and so much change as it is I don't want to overwhelm him even more. However, I can hardly wait to get him out of diapers. Keegan has also discovered "scary" and he says it alot about things that look different. He has become scared of the reflections in our windows in the living room at night time and he makes us close the blinds. His favorite food right now is a soft taco. We usually have them once a week and then Keegan will eat up any left overs. I think that pretty much sums up Keegan.

Myles is growing fast. He is sleeping pretty good. He is going to sleep around 1opm and then waking up around 3:30-4am. I keep hoping that he will start sleeping until at least 5am. Just a matter of time I guess. He is smiling alot now when you hold him and change his diaper. He is a 2 diaper for every change kind of kid. He waits for a clean diaper to finish his business. I feel like I am buying diapers all the time. I need to find the good deals on diapers. I am going broke. Myles is starting to find his voice and he lets out little coos and small giggles. I just love it. He still likes to be held, but he is a good cuddler. Currently he still has his touch of red hair and blue eyes. I haven't weighed him yet but he is eating good. He has already made it into 6 mnth clothing. He is such a cutie and I just love having him here.

As for me, I am getting ready to go back to work. Only 12 days left until my official return. Where did the time go. In one hand I am looking forward to it, and in the other hand I'm really not. I would like to keep working just less hours. I don't know how but someday I hope that will be possible. I want to spend more time with my family. Every now and then I get a nap in but most of my day is spent playing, chasing, feeding, rocking, dancing, coloring, tickling, cooking and cleaning. By the end of the dayI am exhausted and fall asleep within minutes of my head hitting the pillow. In fact Matt usually turns on the TV and I tell him to watch a show that I want to watch instead of one that he chooses and then I fall asleep immediately and he ends up watching what I decided. haha. I told him he doesn't have to do that anymore. He can watch extreme home makeover , or Dr. G medical examiner from now on. I'm usually pretty tired when Keegan comes in in the mornings. Getting up with Myles everynight takes a toll on this old body. I have lost all my baby weight and even a little more so I am thrilled with that. However I look at myself and think maybe I shouldn't tell anyone that I lost the baby weight because this is how big I was before getting pregnant. Oh man. I keep thinking that I am going to get up at 5am and go out walking and jogging. But then it is always dark at that time and I let myself think of scary things that could happen to me out on the streets in the wee morning hours by myself. I would love to have a gym membership and a really good pedicure right now. :)

Well that pretty much sums it up. This is our life at this moment.
