2, 3, 5.....

Happy 2nd Birthday to our baby!! I can't believe how fast time has gone! If you ask Keegan how old he is, he will say three... we then say, no two! He yells back...NO FIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! So we leave it at that ;) I will post some pictures later on today!

Christmas 09

Sorry it has been two months since I have posted...... we have been without a computer so I have not been able to do anything!! We finally bought a new laptop a couple weeks ago!! Here is a picture of the boys I took the beginning of December for our family pictures.... the picture turned out really well!! I surprised we got one with everyone looking at the camera!
The boys had a wonderful christmas, I am glad it is all over with though!! My Mom came the Wednesday before Christmas eve and spent the night. Riley had his Church program on Christmas eve, after that we came home and ate the WONDERFUL meal that my mom and Chris made....it was awesome!! Mom got stranding another night, we all had fun and enjoyed her company for three days!!! Christmas Day morning she got out and was able to make it back to Fairmont, we spent the day next door for the Hulke Christmas!! It was nice, and was better that we just had to walk across the yard!! Both boys were so fun to watch, Riley was thankful for everything and Keegan would open his presents and gasp at each gift he got...so cute!!!

Sleeping it off?

Keegan, who is still sick went to bed last night at 7pm.....it is now 11:15 am and he is still sound asleep. I keep going in there every 15 minutes to check on him. Whatever he has, has really hit him hard and hopefully this 16 + hours of sleep will do him good and he is sleeping off all of his sickness.......

This little boy......

Has had a bad month :( He has been sick for a month now..... He started out with Roseola, he had a temp of 104 and when it finally broke his little tummy and back broke out in a rash. His temp continued on and off throughout the next couple weeks and along with that came spots on his body....he had all together about 15 throughout his whole body. Started out looking like pimples and then turned into scab looking things. On Friday he developed a cough and his temp spiked back up that night. I told Chris I thought he had the Croup. On Saturday afternoon his temp was at 102, so I decided to take him to Urgent Care at the clinic. Bad idea. I always walk out of there with no answers.... They told me it was probably just viral...go figure. I worked Saturday night and on Sunday morning when I come home Chris said he was up all night coughing. Gave him some meds and just let him be lazy all day. Keegan and I fell asleep on the couch late afternoon, and when I woke up, Keegan was on fire..... his temp was 103, I came upstairs to get him some meds and Chris started yelling at me to come and check out Keegan, he was having a really hard time breathing....kind of struggling actually. The look on Chris and Rileys face made me panic. Chris was so worried and Riley was crying because he thought his little brother was going to die.... I threw him in the car and off the the E.R. we went. Sure enough, just like I diagnosed....THE CROUP and possible chicken pox. The gave him some steroids to open up his throat and airway to help him breath and monitored him for about an hour. He came home and he went right to bed....I came home from work on Monday morning and went to get Keegan and his was as white as a ghost and freezing cold, I am not sure what that was about but it sure scared me.....and now this morning, temp of 102. He is napping at the moment, but I am praying that he gets better soon. I disinfected the whole house today! Hoping it works. My poor baby.

Halloween pictures

Just a few pictures of A. Peterson and the little bear!! It started out nice, but towards the end Riley was begging me to go home, his hands were ice cold......

Pumpkins!!

A couple days before Halloween we carved pumpkins!! It was fun, minus Keegan crying the whole time!! He tried eating the pumpkins, so we finally gave him a popsicle...that seemed to work great!! Riley had fun and won the award for 'best pumpkin!!"

18 months!

Keegan had his 18 month check up today!! So glad to hear that he is all done with shots until his is in Kindergarten!! YAY.......
He did really well and of course Dr. Knudson says he is "Perfect" with quit the sense of humor!! He has labeled him as "Right brained" we were talking about his vocabulary. Keegan can say about 15 words.

1. Daddy
2. Hi
3. Uh-oh
4. Brother
5. Riley
6. Mama
7. Grandpa (Bapo)
8. Night, night
9. No, no
10. Whats that
11. Love you
12. Makes puppy noises all the time, even though he is deathly afraid of dogs!
13. Tree
14. Brrrrrrrrr.............

But he only uses Hi, Uh-oh and Daddy consistently. Dr. K said that children that are 'Right Brained' say a bunch of words but do not use them, that he is taking everything in and around age 2 to 2 1/2 they generally start just using sentences. He also said that 'Right Brained' people usually are very humorous and comical (Which I have been saying for the last 6 months) they are very artistic and they love music and love to dance!! All signs point to Keegan with what he described!! I would definitely say Riley would be 'Left Brained' it is all actually really interesting to learn about!!
