First Day of Pre-K

Today was Keagan's first day of Pre-K.

We started off the morning with cinnamon rolls. This is an adjustment Keagan is going to have to make. He doesn't like to eat breakfast when he first gets up.

Ready to go with what other than a tractor lunchbox and backpack.

Keag and Audrey
A couple of weeks ago I looked at Keagan's class list and saw that Kira and Landrie were going to be in his class. These were two of the girls that went to the babysitter with him. Then we found out Audrey was going to be in his class. Kira, Audrey and Keagan all stayed at Cheryl's at the same time. I warned his teacher about this!
He was excited this morning. I had one of our aides stay in my room as my kids were coming in this morning so I could take Keagan to his class and take a few pictures. When we walked in he was acting very shy. I think he was on the verge of tears so I tried to get out as quick as I could. I went over and talked to him at lunch and he said he was having a lot of fun. After lunch we were at recess and he came and sat with me for a little bit. I could tell he was tired. When the bell rang he walked from his class to mine all by himself. We got out at 1:30 but teachers had to stay until 3:30 so Cecil came and picked him up. Kira and Keagan are the flag holders this week. He said he holds the Texas flag and Kira holds the "States" flag. He got a paw print stamp at the end of the day because he was "good" today. He quickly informed me Audrey didn't get a stamp because she was throwing rocks on the playground. I don't know if that is true or not. He says he is going to eat in the cafeteria tomorrow for lunch. He will also have to nap/rest time tomorrow. They laid down for a little while today, but not as long as they usually will. I am glad he had a good day.

4 months old

I am two weeks late with this post but I guess it is better late than never. Time is going by so fast-my baby boy is 4 months old.
-at his 4 month check-up he weighed 15 pounds and was 24 1/2 inches long
-got two shots, began to cry as the nurse went to stick him with the second one and it was more of a "you hurt my feelings" cry than a hurt cry
-continues to eat every 3 hours during the day
-sleeping better at night, have tried really hard to get him in a routine at night and that has helped some, usually goes to bed around 9:00 and has been sleeping until 5:00 or after
-tries to hold his own bottle, doesn't do it everytime
-started cereal but not a big fan of it
-rolls from tummy to back and back to tummy
-drools all the time
-still loves to be talked to and watch people, doesn't want to be by himself
-went swimming for the first time, did not like to be splashed

my sweet boys

It's hard work on a baby to swim!

I guess he was thirsty.


trying cereal for the first time


Needed a little milk to wash down the cereal he didn't care for.


Getting ready for bed. A little girl who was in my class last year gave him these jammies. They are so cute.
We have a had a wild weekend. Karter was running fever Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. I think it was from teething. Saturday we were running some errands and Keagan said his stomach hurt. He got sick in the restaurant and didn't eat. He threw up all night long. I just kept thinking why is this happening when school starts on Monday. Karter has felt better today and Keagan has not gotten sick anymore today. I will post some pictures in the next few days of his first day of Pre-K. Still can't believe my little boy is big enough to start school.
