Hands and Splashes

Last weekend my mom came down and spent some time with us. Also during that time, Keagan had her first official bath with splashing. She had a jolly time. Smiling and splashing around. It was quite cute.


Keagan also uses her hands now. Around the 15th, she would slowly move her hands toward objects, sometimes getting them, sometimes not. Then if she did get it, she'd try to put it in her mouth, but usually miss and get it in her eye. Since then, she's pounced on objects. She'll go real slow, then all of a sudden jerk both hands towards the object, almost always hitting it. And then she could move things to her mouth just about every time. But around last Friday she starting being successful in grasping something in front of her and then getting it to her mouth. Now she will even grasp for things not in front of her. She gets ambitious and leans towards things, staring with her little upper lip making a fish face as she tries to get the thing she wants.

We've also been working on teaching her a trick. But I'll wait until she can do it before I try to explain it.

Here she is entertained by a candle. It looked pretty neat flickering through the jar.


We also bought the game Wasabi. Its quite fun!

More Travels

After going to Newgen's, we came home and spent another 3 nights there. Then, Wednesday was my niece's birthday and Jayme was throwing her a shindig in Wichita. So we left to go to Wichita again.

Jayme did a good job with the party. There were about 20 people there, some family, some coworkers, and some friends. It was a nice time. There was plenty of food (not unexpected) and Jayme even frosted Nicole her own princess cake! But... one of the dogs (Atari?) got on the table and ate about 1/3 of it! She was so mad (as she should have been). But she cut off the dog part, so we could still she how hard she worked, and mom bought one from Wal-mart or something to replace it. Silly dogs.


I made her her red dress for her birthday. It was rather large on the small child. But that just means she can wear it for a while. Well, after the party, we all hung around for a day and then Thursday, I went shopping to buy and outfit for my interview on Monday.

We left on Thursday after meeting up with Rhonda and Michelle in Wichita for dinner. It was a nice short trip.

Then Saturday was our 6 year wedding anniversary! Mom bought us a cake and candle so we lit it and ate some cake. How cute. After eating the cake, we packed up the car and went to Wichita (again). We figured it would make our drive to Tulsa on Sunday a little bit shorter.
