TWO YEARS already???

I canNOT believe that our little guy is TWO years old today!!  It seems like just a few months ago, we brought home our 8 lb 3 oz blue-eyed, bald-headed baby boy....and now he is our almost 28 lb blue-eyed toddler boy with his big boy hair cut!!!

The little boy we thought would never walk is now running all over the place, climbing on anything he finds, dancing with his sister to the Alvin in the Chipmunks soundtrack, and even trying to learn to jump off furniture!  He is a boy of very few words, but he tells stories with just his big, beautiful, blue eyes!!  Keaton has totally captured my heart as his Mommy, but he also captures everyone's heart that he comes across....from people he sees on a daily basis to people he flirts with at the grocery!  He has got a huge, gorgeous smile that just melts your heart, which makes it almost impossible to tell him "No!"

Keaton is our shy guy - always hiding behind Mommy's leg or nuzzling his head into my neck when others are around.  He is a HUGE Mommy's boy, and I LOVE IT (most of the time!)!!  He is the biggest cuddler - is almost always content to just sit on my lap and cuddle...who in the world could turn that down?!

At two, Keaton only says a few words, which include "Mama", "Dada", "Nana", "Papaw", "dog", "more", "milk", "love", "ball", "down", "Tay" (which his how he says "Ceili") , "Tee" (which is how he says "Keaton", and "Tar" (which is how he says "Carter").  He knows all of his body party, as well animal sounds - cow, horse, cat, dog, chicken, elephant, monkey, bird, sheep, lion,  and even dinosaur!!

Keaton loves to read books, color, dance, play with his cars and dinosaurs!  He also LOVES trying shoes on that belong to others...he is constantly putting Ceili's shoes on throughout the day!  He absolutely loves to wear boots around, and loves it even more when they are Ceili's boots!!  He also loves to play dress up with his big sister (I think that is just part of having a big sister!) and loves to hold and feed her baby dolls!

This past year has gone by so fast, but Keaton has changed so much!  He almost doesn't even look like the same child from just a year ago!  This year, we decided to have a Fire truck birthday party for Keaton, and I can't wait!!  One of Keaton's favorite toys over the last year was his ride-on fire truck, which is the main reason why we chose a fire truck theme!  Below are just a few pictures of our little fireman - I will be posting more pictures of him AND  pictures from his birthday party soon!

Happy Birthday Keaton Charles!!  Mommy loves you to the moon and back!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

And we're back!!!

We have been so busy the past few months and have had so many things going on that I have just not had the time to blog.....but I am committed to do better from now on!!!  I've had quite a few complaints about people checking the blog and seeing no updates....so hopefully this will make some people happy! We haven't gotten a whole lot of snow this year, but we did get enough to play outside for a bit in last week!  Ceili was so excited to walk outside and see snow on the ground - she immediately wanted to go outside and build a snowman!  I did talk her into going to school first....and had to convince her that a snowman was just not possible this time!  When Daddy got home, we all bundled up and went out to the backyard for some fun on the sled!!  I think Justin definitely got his work out that afternoon, pulling about 55 pounds of weight in their sled....but their smiles were soooooo worth any muscle-burning Daddy had to endure!!  Below are some pictures from the other day - there were so many of them sledding that I loved that I just couldn't pick - their expressions were priceless!!  I just love them!!!
