Beagles

Poor Beagles, Patrick being mobile means they don't get as much peace and quite as they once did when we came for a visit.  The beagles and Patrick get along great. They put up with him for a little bit when he comes over to pet them. And, he squints and squeaks in delight when ever the beagles get close to him.

Napping in the Sun is done outside on the porch

Once the Beagle nap was done, we opened the door

Patrick quickly figured out how to crawl over the track for the door

Where to find trouble next?

Momma's Green Tea

Patrick is into tasting everything, anything, and if we have it in our hands; that's even better. This weekend Ginger tried to enjoy a mug of Green tea, but Patrick had to have a taste. He proved to be pretty good about sucking up the tea into his mouth and ended up with only a bit on himself.  Of course once he noticed Daddy with the camera, he had to try posing and drinking at the same time.

Pass the Patrick

This past weekend we had the chance to spend some time with the Sorrels family out near Cushing, OK. There wasn't any work planned so it was mainly a weekend of pass the Patrick.

Playing Around the Coffee table

Patrick has quickly adopted the coffee table and the area around it as his play place.

He loves standing at it and playing with what ever toys he can find or what ever is handy to turn into a toy.

Look Ma! It dances!

Getting sleepy...

I'm awake! mmm bottle...

Bath time with Bubbles

Ever since Patrick started crawling, he's enjoyed disappearing to the bathroom. At bath time, all you have to do is get his attention and then run off into the bathroom and he'll follow.  Well, now Patrick is pulling up on things, including the tube while the water if running and filling the tube. We've also started giving him bubble baths every so often.  So far he's enjoyed splashing the bubble and trying to taste them. And, of course the parents just have to help Patrick play with the bubbles.

That's my Bath

Hurry up

Is it done yet?

Hi Mommy with camera

Do you like my hat?

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.

Snack Time

Toys, toys, everywhere

Time to clean off the Coffee Table...

Music time

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.
