Growing fast

Patrick sure has been learning a lot lately.  He clicking with his tongue, pulling up and standing, eating stuff like cheerios, and even walking while holding onto fingers.  He's also babbling more. It's also getting harder to get pictures of Patrick.  Most of the time he charges the you and the camera as soon as he knows you have it.

Holidays

The holiday season is over and we've had a chance to get caught up on some rest now.  It was a whirlwind adventure full of activity, fun, food, and the best part, family.

Patrick is now crawling really well as well as starting to push/pull himself up into a standing position.  He enjoys following us around the house as well as adventuring into the kitchen or bathroom by himself.  He's also trying to climb as well as demanding what ever food we're eating.  So far we haven't found anything that he doesn't eat.

Christmas Surprise, Part 3

They say the packaging is the best gift and that is so true. Patrick had the most fun with the boxes, bows and ribbons. We placed him in one of the boxes and he looks like he's the Christmas present.
Patrick has been so much fun for this Christmas month, and I mean month as we have had a Christmas every weekend. Now he is crawling really well and chasing us down the hall, it sure does make life much more interesting.

Part 2, Balloons

Because is was a Christmas Party at my parents house, of course we had balloons. It was the first time that Patrick had seen balloons and he loved them. The were small and light enough for him to play with and they made a wonderful squeaking sound.

Here you go

Yeah! Balloons

So many

This one, no this one

Mmmmm

Come back here

Crawling Forward

Patrick is now crawling forward.  He did his first crawls forward across the living room crawl Sunday evening.  He chased down Daddy to try and get his phone and after Mommy showed him the screen on the camera, Patrick crawled back across the living room to get the camera.

Going after Daddy

What? Mommy has the camera...

Charge!!

Hi Mommy!

A Very Stull Christmas, Part 1

We went to Grandpa and Grandma Stull's to celebrate Christmas this weekend and Patrick got to do many new things on his first Christmas celebration.
Patrick had a lot of fun playing with bows and wrapping paper. It took him a while to figure it out, but I think he was getting it by the end. He really liked the shiny bows and the crinkling paper.

To be continued........... More Christmas fun to come.

6 Months

Patrick's 6 month appointment was the other day. He's 25 inches tall and almost 17 pounds now.  His Doctor says he's sitting up like an 8 month old and that he's doing great.  We're now supposed to feed him solid food three times a day.  He's up to twice a day, but I'm sure he'll be at three shortly. Patrick loves food time and sitting at the table with Mommy and Daddy to eat. And, of course after the food is gone, the bowl and spoon are great toys while Mommy and Daddy finish.
