Happy Halloween!

My Mommy & Daddy dressed me in a skeleton outfit. They took me to a couple of houses to get some candy but I was more intersted in looking at the decorations and all the funny/scary costumes. I helped Mommy & Daddy hand out candy. It was fun!

Pumpkin Patch

Hello all! I can't believe my little one is getting so big. We went to the Pumpkin Patch this past Sunday. Keegan really enjoyed playing with the hay. Daddy had a difficult time getting him to look at the camera. We got some really cute pictures though. Keegan is starting to pull up everywhere. Tonight, I was working on the computer downstairs and he proceeded to climb up the couch to get me. His Daddy was so proud. He sure is a dare devil. All I could say was, CHRIS watch him! Don't let him fall. Chris was like - he is fine - LOOK at what he did! I am so proud. He is so amazing and we are so thankful to God for such a wonderful gift. We hope you are all doing great. Take care and we will have some pictures of Halloween soon! We are going to put him in a skeleton outfit - we are not going all out though. Did not think he would tolerate a made up outfit nor did I want to spend $50 for an outfit he would have on for 30 minutes. Take care and God bless,

It has been awhile...

Hello all! We hope this blog finds you doing well. Keegan just turned 11 months. I can't believe that in less than a month, he will be ONE! Crazy. This first year just flew by. Keegan is doing so much now. He is still now "crawling". His idea of crawling is till on his belly and "skooting" along. He will get on his hands and knees but then decides it is easier the other way. He can now pull up on things (couch, toy box, dishwasher, etc....). He used to LOVE looking into my cabinets in the kitchen but his Daddy put the door stoppers this weekend and he can't get them open. Any other door that has not been "fixed" yet, he will sniff it out! He is eating "big people" food now. He loves potatoes, carrots, crackers, chicken, avacado, peaches, cheerios, mango, tortillas, rice, and beans. His Daddy let him try some Gatorade the other day and he LOVED it. So I have to monitor that. Don't want my kid hooked on Gatorade. For the most part, he is a HAPPY baby. Playing, smiling and loves to interact. He can wave bye bye, play patty cake, points to a light when we say "where's the light Keegan" (if we say "where is Daddy/Mommy/etc." he will point to the light!), and sign "more". He has sade a couple words - what we think he has said - cracker, bath, ball, and car. I swear the first time he said cracker, my Mom and I almost died. We were feeding him one night and we said "you want a cracker, Keegan" and he looked at us and clear as day said "cracker". We were floored. Obviously he does not say it clearly now, but he sure can say the beginning sounds of all those words.
We hope you all are doing great. We love and miss you all! Have a safe and Happy Halloween. Still not sure what he will be - we will figure it out. Taking him to a Pumpkin Patch this weekend. He will love it hopefully!
Love always and God bless

Prayers...

Hello all. I hope this post finds you all doing good and that God is blessing you and your families. I have some sad news to report. My older sister, Kirsten, went into premature labor on Saturday September 6, 2008. They were unable to stop her labor (she had an infection - can't remember the name, but it was in the sacs surrounding the baby). She gave birth to a baby boy - Brecken Jared Jones around noon time. He passed away about an hour later. My sister and her family are relying on their faith to get them through this tough time. We will have a memorial on Saturday September 20, 2008 in McKinney, TX. We know that Brecken is with Jesus and we will see him again when we are all together. Please pray for my sister Kirsten, her husband Scott, and their 2 1/2 year old Landen.
May God bless you all!

Our baby boy.....

It is truly amazing the love you have for a child. We sit and look at Keegan as each day goes by and thank God for such an amazing gift that He gave us with our little boy. He is growing up so fast. Keegan turned 9 months on the 19th of August. He is starting to "army crawl" and has developed such a fun personality. He has such a beautiful smile! Keegan is starting to eat "finger foods". He loves bananas, carrots and "toddler cheetos". Keegan continues to love drinking from Mommy and Daddy's "big people" cups. He prefers this instead of his sippy cup (only the ones with a straw). His 9 month check up was perfect. He is 20.8 lbs. and 28 inches long. Dr. Benbow says he looks wonderful! We continue to pray that our little boy continues to grow and be healthy. We look forward to what the next couple of months have to offer: crawling, more teeth, and overall getting more active. Before we know it, we will be celebrating his 1st Birthday! WOW!
May God continue to bless you all!
Love always,
The Stinson Family

Daddy and Me

My Mommy and Daddy celebrated their 5th Anniversary on August 2nd. Since they are both turning 30 soon, they decided to plan a trip with extended family as a get away. They decided to go to Barton Creek in Austin, TX. Nana, Papi, Auntie Kirsten, Unkie Scott, Cousin Landen, Cousin Baby Jones (due in December), Auntie Lauren and Unkie Ryan joined us. We had a great time. Here is a picture of me and my WONDERFUL Daddy. We got a family picture so my Mommy will have to post it on my blog so you all can see. We had a great time!

Happy 4th of July!

Hello all! For 4th of July weekend, we ventured to Houston to see MeMe, Papa Gary, Auntie LaTissha, soon to be Unkie Jacob, Unkie Cody and Unkie Taylor. I loved the fireworks (unlike my Mommy - she does not like fireworks - they are too loud for her). I sat there and just looked in amazement. Mommy made Daddy hold my ears because they were pretty loud, but I guess I did not mind. I loved playing with my Unkie's Cody and Taylor. Auntie LaTissha loved hanging out with me too. She was feeding me - it got all over - no worries Auntie, you will get plenty of practice before you and Unkie Jacob have any babies. I had a great time with MeMe and Papa Gary. Mommy and Daddy went on a date one night and I played with MeMe in the sink.
I turn 8 months this Saturday! Wow time is flying. I am cutting two teeth - my bottom two. Mommy will try to get a picture up soon of my "snagle-teeth".
We love you all
Keegan
