We Love Messes

Today I changed Keaton's clothes three different times. It has inspired this messy post. It has also made me realize that this kid likes to finish what he starts- like adventuring into any and all water that he sees, licking an ice cream until it's gone, gnawing on corn on the cob, painting with longer stamina than his older brothers, sucking on a sucker (attached lint and dirt included)... and so on...






Keaton is such a delight. He amazes me with the words and phrases that he says. We used to work on sign language but we got lazy about it because he is able to communicate most everything that he wants and needs. He pointed to a dog out of the window the other day and said "Gog (dog), see it?" That's a big G-enius if you ask me. He is a social boy who loves to greet everyone with a hearty "hello" and hand out courtesy laughs. If he sees people laughing he will throw his head back and cackle with a wide open mouth. It is hilarious and if you weren't already laughing then you are now! He likes to tease the boys and to wrestle anyone who is on the ground. It's a good think we are opting to avoid nursery for a while. He loves "rides" at Disneyland and says "weeeee" from start to finish. He loves balls, snakes, Bakers and E-E, swimming, parks, cars, anything outside, candy, and a good book. If you ask him what the C says he will click his tongue in attempt to tell you. Again, G-enius. I love this boy with every inch of my body.

You are definitely a mother who loves her little guy. He looks so cute with his haircut! Jackson told me today that he loves his "cousins and friends--Blakers, Ethan and Keaton." Great kids we have...

We need some more of this friendly banter between you and Justin. Maybe you could ask him about the morning he put Joanna's underwear on his head...WOW!
