Look at me in my new blanket and hat that Dr. Pam knit just for me! I am very dashing.  

Oooh....mmmm....I'm so cozy I may just take a quick snoozer.  

Awww. Keegan had his (not quite) eight week old well baby checkup today and got three shots. Poor kid has two big band-aids on his little legs, and was not and has not been very happy since. It's going to be a rough day for both of us. His doctor detected a small heart murmur, but says it is no cause for concern and that he will probably grow out of it eventually. Keegan is still a tiny baby - wjp would would have thought that would be the case with Angus and me as parents? He is only 10th percentile for weight, 14th for height and, of course, 25th for his head (now that's a Pollard trait for sure!). The doctor wasn't worried that he is small, and anticipates that he'll "catch up" to his friends eventually. As far as having colic, which is no fun, he'll grow out of that too - we only have to wait until month three or four for that!  

On Monday, Angus, Keegan, Justin and I headed to Beaumont so that Angus could participate in his fantasy football draft at the Howells' house. Dave and Michelle Howells are very good friends from Beaumont - Dave runs the Beaumont TaeKwonDo Academy, and Michelle does all the TaeKwonDo Academy artwork and graphic design. The boys made their football pics in an internet chat room (displayed on the screen behind Michelle and Keegan), which Michelle, Stacie and I hung out with Keegan. Michelle has three kids, Sasha, Jack and Rhys, so she knew just how to keep Keegan calm. Now that Angus and I have a kid, we can hang out with the Howells and their kids a lot more.

Chris' girlfriend Stacie took a turn with Keegan. Stacie just started her first teaching job in Beaumont. Keegan will have all the math and science help he needs in a few years.  

Keegan attended his first TaeKwonDo tournament in the Woodlands this weekend. He was very well behaved in front of all of Angus' TaeKwonDo friends - no knuckle pushups for Keegan this time! 

Keegan got to sleep in mom and dad's bed tonight for a bit.

Anna Rose and Keegan on their second play date. The last play date they both slept most of the time, but this time, they were both wide awake. Anna is three and a half months - look at her precious smile! Keegan is still trying to smile, but you have to be fast to catch it. I do everything short of standing on my head to get him to do it!

Keegan looks like he's trying to make a move on Anna, who is looking at Keegan like don't even try it buddy. Anna can be picky - she has lots of dates for the prom already!  

Our doula Nadia Stein came by for a visit on Sunday. She lulled Keegan to sleep just like she calmed me down during labor. Nadia has serious skills. I would recommend her to anyone that is interested in using a doula for their birth - a doula provides physical and emotional support to a woman before, during and after childbirth. I credit Nadia for helping me to have the type of birth that I wanted for Keegan.  

Eskimo Liam and his family, mom Janet, grandma Lori and brother Logan, came by for a delicious dinner cooked by Grandma Ellie. Logan, Marianne and Brenden stirred things up while the baby boys played downstairs.  

Baby Liam when uncovered. Look how tiny those little feet are! You just want to gobble them up.  

Lori can't wait to get Keegan down to the beach to play with the other boys. It's going to be fun in the sun.  

The wild children - Brenden, Logan (Janet's son) and Marianne - eating cake. Farrell's house is fun.  

The kids looking very cute and serene. Not for long... 

Hey! Watch it Keegan! You're going to rip off Marianne's finger! What fun.
