Patrick is Nine Weeks Old Already!!!

It's amazing how time flies. Our little guy is so grown up already, he's practically a little man. This morning he spent 45 minutes on his play mat while I did chores, made breakfast, and actually ate breakfast uninterrupted! It is very cool to see him engaging with people, toys and lights long enough so that he is becoming more independent and I can actually get things done around the house. Patrick's absolute favorite thing is "nakey time". If he's ever upset, I take off his diaper and let him hang out naked in his crib. He'll hang out like that smiling and cooing for the longest time!

Well, here are some pictures because I'm sure that's what you guys are most interested in:

Keeping my fingers crossed that he keeps this beautiful blue eye color

Bath time also means "nakey time"!

Here's the beloved play mat. Thanks for the pictures Auntie Frances!

Now that Delmar is back to work, he doesn't get to spend very much time with Patrick during the work week (those darn 12 hour shifts!). So when he finally gets home, I try to take care of everything so that Delmar gets to hang out with his little man as much as possible. Those two are a pretty happy pair together; lots of smiles and cute noises!

We don't have dates set yet, but we're planning on coming down to the Bay Area for belated holiday visiting some time in January. I'll let you all know when we have our plans set.

Well, enjoy the pictures of Mr. Patrick!
