But at least P is still cute and fun as ever!
Patrick seems to learn a new word each day now. I can hardly keep track of them all. He is using others on a more consist ant basis as well. Help Please, Water, Upee, MAMAMAMAMMA!, Kitty, outside, other side, A-bah (banana), apple, sit down and many more than I can list
He is so stinkin cute! I know that is a given, but his giggles just crack us up. He has some games that he really likes to play lately. One is that he will crawl up on the chair and throw the remotes off. When I say "hey!" he giggles and laughs so hard and then climbs off and does it all over again. He also loves to play No more monkeys where he jumps on the ottoman and then falls down.
He is still a huge fan of any cords and now says "cord". These are especially fun lately with the kitty who likes to chase his cords. Sometimes he doesn't want to share though and gets a little frustrated with kitty for trying to share. He also loves his lawn mowers. Yes, he now has two and will push them all over the house.
Bedtime is so fun now. I never thought I would say that! About 7:40 Patrick will grab my hand and start heading upstairs. We'll get baby and "B" (his blankie) and then get his jammies on. Then he'll get his sippy of milk and crawl up on our bed for stories. We usually read about 3-4 books each night. Of the books, we have to read Dimmity Duck. That is his favorite and usually asks us to read it more than once! After stories there are kisses from mom and dad and then off to rock for a short bit before laying down in his crib. without. a. peep. Love that! The last 3 nights he has slept from 8-7 or so without needing to get up for milk. He has woken up, but goes back to sleep quickly. We really thought this day would never come.
In the morning his favorite thing now is to walk to the cupboard and get out the rice krispies. We pour him a bowl with milk and he'll sit in his seat and eat almost the whole bowl with a spoon. He still dribbles a bit, but does very well!
He is over 25 lbs these days and mostly in 18month clothes.
He loves to help out around the house lately as well. He spilled some cheerios the other day and went and got the dust pan to clean them up. He also brings his dishes to the sink when he is done eating. He also will grab the towel if he has spilled some liquid so he can clean it up. He'll put trash in the garbage and not through food on the floor anymore. Really not sure where we got this clean freak from, not a trait of Ryan or I!
We have really enjoyed watching him learn, change and grow. We are very proud of him and can't wait to see what next month brings!
