My Snoring Machine!

I know I shouldn't laugh, but this video of our son snoring is absolutely adorable and hilarious at the same time. Check it out:

Keegan Tells Jared a BIG Story

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Look-Alike Meter

Everyone keeps telling me that Keegan looks more like Jared than he does me. I figured the "Look-Alike Meter" would know best. Apparently he looks like us both equally.

Keegan Blowing Raspberries

Keegan has become quite fond of Jared and I blowing raspberries at him. About a week ago he started fully repeating. Check it out:

Dr. Seuss

This morning I decided to sit on the floor of the office where daddy was playing video games and read to Keegan. I just bought some Dr. Seuss books from Costco and wanted to see what he thought. I have read to him quite frequently over the past few months (even my own personal books) although sometimes I feel silly doing it. I know they say reading to infants is great even if they can't comprehend. I imagine I am not the only one that feels silly reading out loud to an infant, but I know in the long run Keegan will appreciate that I did. I was so excited this morning when he seemed a bit more interested. My baby is so cute!

Date Night

Tonight was Jared and I's first official "date night". Grandma Perky came over to babysit Keegan and they had a great time. We had a company awards banquet to attend for Jared's company...so it wasn't a big deal, but it was nice to get out and enjoy ourselves for the 3 hours we were out tonight.

Mommy and Keegan "post date night" after his bath:

Stroller Ride

I took Keegan for a walk around the block today, it was quite lovely, here we are:

Sleepy Boy

Yesterday morning while getting ready for work I set Keegan on the changing pad in our bathroom. For a while he was smiling and chatting at me, but apparently mommy getting ready for work in the mornings makes him bored and sleepy.

Here is the end result:

Herbal Cleanse "Day 4"

I started my cleanse on Monday and am feeling so great. I have been a part of Advocare's nutrition company since October 2008 and am in love with their products. See below for the details of this 10-day cleanse. I feel pretty amazing, and have helped put others on this product and they feel amazing too! I knew once I had Keegan that this cleanse product would help get me down to my goal weight. So far, so good!

The AdvoCare® Herbal Cleanse system can help rid your body of toxins and waste with its unique blend of herbal ingredients.* Using a systematic approach, this 10-day system guides you day by day through the steps for thorough internal cleansing and improved digestion.* Herbal Cleanse supports the body's metabolic systems and general health during the detoxification process by helping to keep energy levels up, aiding in removing impurities and supporting the immune system.* Some people who use Herbal Cleanse for the first time experience an encouraging weight reduction and/or reduction in inches when they pair the system with the recommended diet and exercise.

Each Herbal Cleanse system includes these three key products:

ProBiotic Restore™ ULTRA: Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that confer health benefits on the host. Our bodies must maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria to work at its best. When this balance is disturbed, it can have significant negative effects on our health. ProBiotic Restore ULTRA contains a superior multi-strain probiotic complex that provides four billion colony forming units (CFU) of freeze dried friendly bacteria to support your body's overall health by main-taining the normal, healthy balance of microorganisms your body needs.* This probiotic complex with six high potency strains - three species of Lactobacillus and three species of Bifidobacterium ensures full coverage of both the small and large intestines. ProBiotic Restore ULTRA helps strengthen and support our immune system, supports intestinal health and function, aids in digestion and enhances your weight loss program.*
Take on days four through 10.

Fiber Drink:: Fiber Drink is rich in the mixture of fibers your body needs to work at its best.* Each serving contains 10 grams of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber to help add the fiber your diet may not provide. As part of the Herbal Cleanse system, Fiber Drink also helps move the toxins and waste material through the digestive tract while scouring your intestinal tract to support improved nutrient absorption.* Take on days one through three and again on days eight through 10.

Herbal Cleanse Tablet: The Herbal Cleanse tablet provides herbal extracts that help rid your body of the impurities that may be obstacles to achieving better health.* One ingredient, senna leaf extract, is known for its use to relieve occasional constipation, as well as to encourage the movement of waste through the intestinal tract.* Beet root powder and wheat grass juice are included to aid in the reduction of metabolic by-products in the blood and liver.* Cranberry juice powder helps cleanse impurities from the kidneys and aid in excretion through the bladder.* The Herbal Cleanse tablet also contains milk thistle extract, which has the active component silymarin. Silymarin has been traditionally used to aid in eliminating toxins from the liver and is also an excellent hepaprotectant and antioxidant.* Echinacea, astragalus, garlic, zinc and vitamin C help support the immune system.* Herbal Cleanse tablets also contain a wide range of B-vitamins to help maintain energy levels during the detoxification period.* Take on days one through seven

Banner Dad!

The gal who took Keegan's newborn photos is doing a banner project for a company in Chicago. She just asked permission to use the below photo for the "Dads" section of this banner. Oh my boys are so beautiful!

I Like Waffles!

My sister stayed the weekend with me this past weekend. We had such a great time together and with Keegan! Saturday morning, I made homemade waffles (from scratch) which were tasty. Anyway, I thought I would test out our high chair to see what Keegan thought of it. He was doing so well, so I gave him a spoon to play with. Then to be funny, put my plate of waffles in front of him on his high chair. The waffles really didn't phase him, but this photo makes it look like he is eating them. I still crack up every time I see this. The thought that my almost 2 month old is eating waffles is pretty funny!

No worries - I won't be giving him real people food for a few months, especially not WAFFLES. ;-)
