So Keegan has finally mastered the art of unpinning his arms once he rolls over. This is important because now he doesn't lay in his crib and cry every time he gets stuck. I also saw him roll himself back over to his back the other day. Also very helpful.
I know if it's not one thing it's another. I wish he'd learn how eat a whole meal. He stills prefers to drink small portions from the bottle and does so around eleven times a day. It is almost like he is still breastfeeding. The weird part is that he seems to know when he has reached the exact same daily total of 30 oz. Then and only then will he fall asleep. That kid keeps better track than I do.
We went to B*abies R Us today and for the first time he didn't freak out in the store. They have all kinds of hot weather items out. I had him try on sunglasses but couldn't stop laughing. We passed on them as I don't want to give him a complex. Even though he doesn't need any more clothes I did break down and buy two rompers. I was so happy to find something for boys that doesn't have sports, construction or racecars on it. I am all about the puppies, marine life and insects. I also wanted to check out a highchair and a stroller for when he out grows the one that goes with his carrier. How ridiculous are the prices on some of these things? And I shit you not they had a highchair with a leather seat (okay leatherette) cover. Please, I don't need him developing a taste for the finer things this early. If Keegan wants leather he can duke it out with Tom for a spot on the "bachelor couches" in The Man Cave.
We ended the day with Keegan supervising as I trimmed some bushes in the yard and put flowers in my pots out front. It is finally starting to feel like summer is coming. The little guy is exhausted from all the errands and sleeping like an angel. Tomorrow I want to teach him to turn over garden soil and plant seeds. Some day we'll be side by side with our gloves and trowels.

I went to BRU yesterday and they had an awesome clearance rack. Did you the get Oshbygosh bug romper? I almost did until I saw the little duckie romper in yellow/pale green. They also had all their pj's on clearance so I grabbed a few light weight ones.
I grabbed some more avent bottles / nipples and came home to a sale flyer for 15% off plus a free bottle bag if I spend $50.00. Needless to say, I am pissed that they failed to mention it at the register. Did you get one?
*cough* we bought one of those high chairs from the same company for Em. *cough* If I could do it all again, I'd go for a wooden high chair. Back to basics...
