These feet were made for walking

and that's just what they'll do!


Patrick has been walking more and more everyday. We are convinced that he will get all his walking done this week and by the weekend (when the family is here) decide that he is done with that trick!

Patrick has been propping himself up with his head so he can use both hands to play. I think it is just too funny!

Somebunny can stand!

And with his Easter basket. Just need a moment to aww... my cutie Patrick!

I ♥ faces

Here is my weekly submission for I ♥ faces My friend and I.

Here is Patrick and his great friend Miles.

Frog vs Mouse

Ryan: So who would win a fight to the death? A frog or a mouse?
Me: a frog, he is faster
Ryan: but a mouse has teeth
Me: why am I answering this question?
Ryan: I am trying to line up Patrick's blocks (with animal pictures on them) by who would win a fight to the death.

The differences between moms and dads.

A little recap of my day thus far.

3:30-5:30 pretty much up every 1/2 hour or so with Patrick
5:30 I take him and rock him in his bedroom to sleep. Try to fall asleep myself in the chair
6:30 Give up on sleep, so bring Patrick back to our room
6:45 Alarm goes off and Patrick is now sound asleep
7:00 Drag my butt out of bed finally
7:30 Ryan showers while I change Patrick's diaper
What??
No Diapers?? ugg..
Set my naked boy down and grab the new box to open for a diaper
Get a diaper and notice that my adorable son is now sitting in a huge puddle of morning pee.
7:40 Grab Patrick and throw him in the shower with Ryan to rinse off
Grab towels and try to clean up the pee
7:45 Get Patrick out of the shower, dress him for the day
7:50 Try to get myself dressed
8:00 On the bus

whew! Ryan called to tell me I also narrowly missed a gigantic poo seconds after I left. At least something good happened!

At least somebunny still loves me!

Kitchen is done!

Can it be true? With even a week to spare? Think we can call our kitchen done!

The "almost done" kitchen.

Helping dad with the new hood, the finishing touch.

A shot with the new hood.

A list of all that we did.
Installed a new refriderator, double oven range, hood and dishwasher.
Installed new countertops, a new sink and a new faucet.
Painted all the cabinets.
Installed new hardware.
and lastly, bought new curtains which will hopefully go up soon.

A huge, big, gigantic thanks to the in-laws for all their hardwork!
A big thanks to Allison and Tiffany for taking Patrick out of the action a couple times.
Another thanks to Grant for letting me vent and sharing some infinate wisdom.

Pushin'

Patrick has finally mastered the art of pushing his cars and trucks around the house. Here is some fun video of it.
