Cute Pics!

Here are some cute Keeton Pics that I wanted to share! He is getting to be such a big boy!

St. Patricks Day

Keet's Nan (my mom) got him this cute St. Patrick's Day outfit. It has a little shamrock on the booty. He was so cute that even his Pediatrician, Dr. Blum, had to take a pic with him at his 2 month checkup. Our little Leprechaun.

Here are some other cute pics of Keeton on his way to Nana's (Jason's mom) and to visit Jason's work. He is a man about town these days. Enjoy!

Keeton is 2 months old!

Keeton,

You are 2 months old today. These last 8 wks have been amazing! You are changing everyday and while I want you to grow and learn lots of things, It is bittersweet since I already miss the tiny newborn that you once were.

One of the biggest changes in the last month are your SMILES! Those smiles just melt my heart. You always smile when we tap your lips with our fingers, clap your hands together or say oohs and ahhs to you. Not only have you been smiling a bunch but recently you are cooing too! We will put you on the activity mat and you will smile and "talk" to all your friends that hang down. It is really cute to see you socializing and batting at all the little toys.

Here are some other things that are going on with YOU:

*Can sit in bumbo seat sometimes and hold your head up for a little while. Not quite ready yet, but soon.

*Starting to mimic our "aaahs"

*Grasping a rattle and shaking it around.

*Started eating 4 oz bottles and we have started adding rice cereal to help with spitting up and reflux. (It's not working yet. Poor baby)

*You LOVE taking a bath. Lots of smiles and splashing that are always followed by a BIG nap!

This month, you made your first road trip to Jonesboro to visit Nan, Pop, Aunt Darby, Uncle Randy, Graham and Griffin. You were such a trooper for the 7 hour ride and slept for most of it. It was definitely a learning experience for daddy and I.

While we were in Jboro, you got to meet your future best friends, Lillie and Collier. They are the new daughters of 2 of my best childhood friends Cindie and Mikcca. They are sooo sweet and cute and about 4 months older than you. I hope you can all be as close as we always were growing up.

It was a great trip and hopefully we will see more of them soon;)


I am so happy right now and am just loving being your mommy. I love watching you learn new things and seeing you grow right before my eyes. Daddy is such a great daddy and I have caught him on more than one occasion cheesing while he watches you be extraordinary!

Your 2 month appt is on Wednesday and I am excited to see how much weight you've gained and how tall you are.

I wish I could slow down time because we are having a blast!

I love you,

Mommy

My baby can beat up your baby

It has been a little more than 5 weeks since Keeton was born but it feels like he has always been a part of our family. It is so hard to describe how I feel about him. There are the obvious feelings of love and pride, but I also just think he is freaking awesome. I wish I could put it in a more eloquent manner but that is really how I feel. He is awesome. He is the best baby ever. Hands down. I know you may think your baby is a little better but your wrong. Sorry to be the one to have to break it to you. But I think it is better that you know the truth.

When this boy smiles at you it makes you feel like you have just made Steve Carrell, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Amy and Davis Sedaris, Ellen DeGeneres, David Cross, Amy Poehler, Will Arnett and Tina Fey so jealous of how funny you are. And you should see that smile. To die for. So stinkin cute.

He is growing so fast. It is bitter sweet to see that. I am so excited to see him develop and learn knew things but with each knew development we can never go back to when he couldn't do those things.(Horrible run on sentence but too lazy to word it better) So you just have to enjoy each moment and soak it all in. He is also getting bigger. Especially now that we are no longer starving him. When we got to our 1 month appointment we found out he was supposed to be getting 3-4 ounces per serving and we had been giving him 2. There is no feeling quite like realizing you are a neglectful parent. So we are now feeding him what he is supposed to be getting and it is amazing how much they grow when you feed them properly.

These past 5 weeks have been so much fun for Cortney and I. Everyday is a new adventure for him and for us. It is a learning process but it helps that we have so much support from friends and family. Look out world! Here comes Keeton Levi Harper...and he can squirt poop across a changing table all the way to the door knob 5 feet away.

1 month

Here is Keeton's 1 month pic. I know it's a little late and his 2 month will be coming soon but better late than never.

Silly Daddy

The first time I filmed this, I told Jason it was too boring. This is what I got on the second take.
I guess I asked for it huh?

He's Here!
