It has been entirely too long since I updated the children's blogs. Here are some recent photos of young Patrick. He is an amazing little boy who fills our lives with unmeasurable joy...

Summer '10

2010-07-18T22:55:00.000-05:00

Where to begin? It's Patrick's world and we're just visiting! He is truly a joy to be around, except when the terrible two mania hits and then all hell breaks loose. Luckily those times are pretty rare. He is definitely treating his sister with much more love and kindness. Other than that little episode last week when he whacked her in the head with a broom...Anyhow, here are some recent pics of the big man. Enjoy!

We made it through the Ice Storm of 2010 pretty much intact. 96 hours in the house was an interesting experience. Luckily, the day care center was up and running this morning. We did have a lot of fun, though. Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks or so. Enjoy them.

Halloween Fun

2009-11-09T13:56:00.004-06:00

Patrick has the capacity to be a great sport...the fact that he allowed his mother to dress him up like a puppy dog for Halloween underscores this. I realized I had crossed the point of no return when I found myself excited to be heading up to daycare for the big Halloween party!

Patrick just finished his first two weeks of day care! It was tough on him at the onset...and tougher still on his Mother; however, he is getting more and more comfortable each day. Other than having the sniffles for the last week or so, he's doing just fine.

I had to ask Jo if she was feeling OK when she suggested that we cut Patrick's hair this morning. Reminiscent of moving him out of our room, I quickly procured the electric shaver before she had time to change her mind. Ten minutes later and Patrick looks like a new recruit at Parris Island.

One Year and Counting...

2009-03-25T12:37:00.003-05:00

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..."

On the South Oval enjoying a beautiful Spring day

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!

2009-03-14T11:08:00.002-05:00

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.

2009-02-15T20:32:00.005-06:00

Today marked Patrick's eleventh month on the planet! As custom, this afternoon we celebrated with a homemade cake. Thanks, Mama. It is absolutely mind-blowing to think that Patrick will be a year old next month. "I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they pass..."

2009-01-25T21:57:00.004-06:00

Patrick has officially moved out of Mamma and Daddy's room to his own palatial spread five feet away. I was under the impression that this momentous occasion would take place sometime around the boy's first birthday; however, his mother relented and decided that it was time! Upon hearing her decision, I immediately procured the Craftsman tool box and proceeded to disassemble his crib, lest Mom changed her mind in a moment of acute weakness. Less than hour later (where's Todd?) everything was set-up and Patrick had his own room...finally! He seems to be adjusting rather well; in fact, it's almost as if he doesn't notice the difference...hmmm.

What a smile!

Yesterday marked Patrick's eighth month on terra firma! He is changing so fast that at times it is literally unbelievable. We celebrated, as custom mandates, or more specifically, as Yolany mandates, with a wonderful homemade coconut cream pie. Here is a sampling of our most recent photos. Enjoy.

Good Times

Photos are no longer enough! Kadi wanted a video! I hope everyone enjoys it. Patrick is now into his seventh month...teething is an issue, as is waking up at three in the morning to share his discomfort with Mom and Dad! His smile and his eyes are as bright as ever. He is simply a joy!

Each day brings countless beautiful moments! Patrick has begun to vocalize more--he now says "Mama" regularly, especially when he's hungry, tired or uncomfortable. Yesterday, he began trying to say "Papa" or "agua" depending on how optimistic I, Papa, am feeling!

Today, the 15th of September, marks Patrick's sixth month on the planet. As is the standard operating procedure (SOP) in the Hyde House, we had a wonderful celebration with Mom's homemade cake, lots of photos and Patrick stealing the show. We are blessed. Truly. The joy and happiness that this child brings to our house is unbelievable.

Patrick and Mom...all smiles!

Kadi and John visited last evening. Yolany made a tremendous pasta dish, followed by her now famous Tres Leches cake. We had a great time! Patrick, as is his custom, fell asleep on Kadi's chest in about 15 minutes...hmmmm!

Five Months

2008-08-20T10:28:00.005-05:00

Mom is already planning Patrick's first birthday party...in March! However, as you all know by now, we here in the Hyde House are always looking for a reason to celebrate! Thus, we throw a little bash on the 15th of each month to celebrate Patrick's presence here on planet Earth. This month--his fifth--was no exception. Mom made a tremendous pastel de tres leches (a cake with three different types of milk) that was absolutely amazing! Here are a couple of photos from the festivities. Enjoy.

Solids, Take Two (Unedited Director's Cut)

2008-08-14T15:25:00.004-05:00

I promise that we will not post every one of Patrick's feedings. Having said that, my wife, la jefa, did not think the video of Patrick's first feeding adequately conveyed the magnitude of the event...in cinematic terms, at least. Thus, I am shamelessly presenting Patrick's second go with solid food. Thank you in advance for all of your patience...and understanding.

First Solid Food

2008-08-07T12:35:00.006-05:00

Man cannot live on breast milk alone...or so they say. Patrick's first taste of solid food was a little rice cereal mixed with...milk. Mama's, of course. The video is a bit dark, so I added a few stills. A monumental day here at the Hyde House! Enjoy.

Hold Your Head Up

2008-07-28T20:14:00.005-05:00

Patrick is beginning to hold his head up! Tummy Time workouts no longer elicit cries of torturous mistreatment like they once did--we just crank up the Argent and get down to business!

Patrick's Room

2008-07-23T13:46:00.003-05:00

Uncle John and Dad began painting Patrick's room last weekend! We went with two shades of blue...as per Mom's instructions. We'll post more photos when the project is complete. And maybe, just maybe, Mom will let Patrick leave our room and move to his sometime before his 6th birthday!

Four Month Check Up

2008-07-23T13:36:00.004-05:00

Wow! Patrick's four month check-up went smoothly...except for the four immunizations! The shots are no fun, to be sure. He weighed in at 14 pounds and 12 ounces, while he measured in at 25 inches long. For some reason, Patrick was under the assumption that it was Dad who gave him the shots! He glared at me afterwards, giving me the classic go-to-hell-look, even as it was I who was holding his hands throughout the traumatic ordeal! All was well when Mom took him in her arms to comfort him...go figure.

A special thanks to Penny Park for Patrick's wonderful swing. He is absolutely fascinated by it. Nice work, Penny! Now maybe we can get this house in order!

Home, Home Again...

2008-04-30T09:09:00.005-05:00

Patrick is back at home! On behalf of Patrick and his Mom, I'd like to thank all of you for your love and support. Having family and friends like you is a wonderful blessing that is sincerely appreciated. You can probably imagine how much it means to Yolany and me. Patrick is definitely glad to be home, as are his exhausted parents. Here is a picture of the little angel in his crib that I took last night.

Quality Time

Mom, Dad and a very content Patrick having fun! Patrick's chair vibrates and has the sounds of a tropical rain forest--birds, frogs and running water--to help soothe him!
