Hangin' with Daddy


Ryan is getting ready soon to be Mr. Mom or in this day in age, Mr. Dad. I head back to work on July 16 and Ryan is done with work in July 10. It will be fun to have some overlap to enjoy our new little family. He has been dutifully taking notes one how much Patrick eats, when he eats and sleeps and other routines that Patrick has fallen into. I am sure he will be great at home with him!

Patrick has had so many fun tricks lately. He pushes off our hands with both feet and throws himself across the blanket. He enjoys talking a bunch now and his favorite words are "ah-goo" and "gee". He has also said the occasional "gaga". (which daddy things is "dada") He is starting to grab onto things when we put them into his hands. When he is nursing he especially likes to grab onto my shirt and give it a tug. Sometimes he catches my bra and snaps it! ugg! His smiles are to die for and he really hands them out lately. Our evening walks have really been fun with Patrick looking at the leaves on the trees. This seems to be fully engaging for him and he is frustrated when we come to a patch with no trees.

We are off to a party soon to enjoy Patrick's first 4th. I think we'll skip the fireworks though, because Mommy is too scared!
