One Year and Counting...

Yesterday's one-year check-up was a huge success--less the vaccinations and their side-effects. Patrick ran a slight fever last night, thus we did not sleep much from about 200 am to 500am...such is life. Patrick is healthy and happy, which in the scheme of things is a wonderful combination. Next check-up is in June; we'll keep you posted.

This photo is a couple of weeks old, however, it is fairly indicative of what happens when one lets Patrick out of one's sight for 30 seconds or more..."Oh no, there goes Tokyo, oh no Godzilla..."

Patrick feeding himself. I will definitely be investing in a power-washer and a few plastic tarps for the house...

Our living room was beginning to resemble the set of Romper Room, so we broke down and bought a toy box. Another one of Mama's great ideas!

All smiles...

Happy to be at Target with Mama and Daddy!

Birthday Party Photos

Patrick's first birthday celebration was a huge success! We could not have pulled it off without Kadi's selfless dedication to taking care of business. Thanks, Kadi!

First Haircut

Patrick and Daddy got haircuts yesterday! Thanks to Anna, our new favorite stylist, Kadi and John, who, as always, were there for backup, diversionary tactics and moral support. Patrick surprised all of us by acting like he'd been getting his hair cut for years! He was "calm, cool and collected," as they used to say.

First Ice Cream

A special thanks to Aunt Hyla and Tom for having us over to celebrate Patrick's impending birthday. Kathy, Jayne, Elyse, David and Ryan were all on hand, as well. Enjoy the video of Patrick's first taste of ice cream!
