The bad thing about being so busy at school during the week is the fact that it leaves so few opportunities to capture Keller learning and growing. He is starting to speak in complete sentences-most of them in a language I don't understand-but they are complete sentences nonetheless!
Fall has officially arrived and hopefully that means a break in the heat. The forecast this week is calling for weather only in the 80s. Yea! Now let's just hope this trend continues and we don't get back into the 90s next week. Of course, it's Oklahoma, anything can happen!
With it being so nice outside, we have been spending a lot more time out there. Most of our days when we aren't in school we spend outside. Unfortunately, the camera doesn't make it out as often as we do, so I miss a lot of shots. While my mom was here last week she converted Keller's water table into a sand table so he could use it more in the fall. We went out to play on Saturday morning (and yes, we wear t-shirts and diapers only a lot!)

Keller loves playing with the the sand, but not actually in the table. His favorite thing is to scoop it and drop it on the ground at his feet.
At this rate we are going to have the beach in our backyard before winter hits.
Keller also has a sand rake that for whatever reason his does NOT like. So, he kept trying to give it to me.
However, I didn't want it either, so every time Keller handed it to me, I set it on the ground so I could have the camera at ready. This was not a good idea. He kept picking it up and handing it back to me, insisting that I hold it. After about 3 times of me setting it down, Keller really got made and so he chunked it against the fence. And here it lies...
Luckily, his tantrums are over just as soon as they start. After a couple minutes, Keller realized he wanted to slide and the world was all better once again.
People (family members and a few friends) thought Jed and I were crazy when we decided to take the footboard off of Keller's crib and convert it into a toddler/daybed. For a couple weeks we put a rail on the side of it, but now he has gotten the hang of being in a big boy bed and we don't worry about him falling out. Instead, it is really nice because when he is ready for bed or nap, he goes and crawls in his bed all by himself!
And he even gets up well too.
And the best part, this kid knows when he is ready for bed. He looks like this...
He drags his lion around by its tail and just wonders around aimlessly until you finally follow him into his bedroom to tuck him in. Once he is tucked in, it's time for Goodnight Moon, and then he gives us a kiss and says "Ub U" (Love you) and we don't hear from him for 11 hours. Gotta love that.
