Fist bump

For a few weeks we have been getting Kevin to do a fist bump and it is quite cute. But today this commercial came on tv and he ran up to it and was saying "Bam" and trying to give the tv a fist bump. I was a bit confused and then the lady and the man in the commercial gave each other fist bumps. It cracked me up. It is a Progressive Auto insurance commercial where "Flo" gives the guy a price gun to name is own price. He says he feels empowered and they do a fist bump. Here is a link to the commercial if you would like to see it for yourself.

Such a funny little man!

Luigi is... Lel low

Kevin has completely surprised us and has begun matching colors to words! He has this small board book that is based on the animated Cars movie. Each page shows a different car and says what color the car is. Two days ago when we were flipping through it Kevin automatically said Lel low (yellow) when we got to Luigi. I was shocked. So for the last two days I have been asking him what color a banana is, what color a particular block is. And he keeps getting it right! Today he began identifying the car, Doc, as blue. And just before he went to bed he did identify Chick Hicks (green) and Mater (brown). Now on both of these you have to be listening really hard to hear him say it, but he does.



I can't believe how much he learns each day!

Happy 4th of July!

We had an awesome time today. To celebrate the 4th we started by checking out the Wells Branch MUD festivities. Kevin really didn't like the band too much, I think the loud music scared him. But he was interested in this small bouncy house. At first he got it all to himself, but soon a little girl joined him. I think he had fun, but had a hard time getting back up with her jumping.

After that we went to Anne's house to enjoy burgers and good company. We had a blast, and Kevin ate sooo much! I had no idea he could pack it on like that. He loved playing around with Kurt. Kurt would swing him around, hold his feet and let him walk like a wheelbarrow, and he even let Kevin hang from a tree. I told you he was my little Monkey, now Kurt has proved it! :-)

After we put Kevin to bed we sat out side and enjoyed shooting off a few fireworks and watching the Wells Branch fireworks. It has been a great night. And I am very surprised that Kevin has slept through all the fireworks (I hope I don't jinx myself because a few houses are still shooting them off).

19 months.

Another month has flown by! In the last few weeks Kevin and I have been laying low. We have had record breaking heat (as high as 106 degrees), so we have spent a good amount of time in his kiddy pool. Today I did buy him this great tunnel/tent combo. It will be great to set up on really hot days so we can play inside. Here are a few cute pictures of him.

Silly boy!

My mother in law emailed me these photos of Kevin from our trip. He had seen all the other kids wearing goggles and he decided he needed to try on Sarahs. So silly!
