Ranting Words

Keaton is so much fun to watch grow and learn. He loves pointing at things and saying "What is that" or "what is this". He also points and identifies everything. Yesterday he was watching TV (shame shame Mommy, but it was a cold dreary day so a total TV day!) and as things appeared on the TV he would just point and say what they were (frog, milk, bug, car, etc).

Counting is by far one of Keaton's great talents and passions. Hahaha. Can babies have passions like that? Well he loves to count. He will put pillows on the floor and walk over them and count as he takes each step, or when he is going up and down stairs, or when he is stacking blocks, etc. You get the point...he loves to count count count. He can actually count all the way to 13 now, although he needs to work on pronouncing 11 and 12. Smiles.

Keaton is really big into jumping and climbing now too. I started an awful habit of allowing him on my bed and encouraging him to jump. Of course 19 months is a little young to jump lifting your feet off the ground but he bends his knees and says jump and goes up and down while saying jump. And he loves rough housing...especially if it is hitting him with pillows, or throwing him on the couch or anything really rough and borderline dangerous. It's kind of funny. Hope this isn't a sign he is going to be a bully.

Keaton is seriously the sweetest little boy. I don't know how there could be anyone sweeter. He says Good Morning when you get him out of his crib in the morning. He points to McKenna in his and says Mickey Sleeping when she is laying down. Keaton pats McKenna's back and puts his head in her face to check on her when she is retching. She loves giving him kisses which he isn't to fond of, but he usually goes along with it. He wipes his mouth and says yuck after you kiss him (one of his many "tricks"). He dances, and his favorite song right now is Drummer Boy. He even attempts to sing Ba Rumpa bum bum. So cute. I love having a boy!!!
