Jenny was here

Thanks for coming Jenny - we were so happy to have you this weekend. Patrick will miss you!! Such a cute picture!

Pictures from our weekly walks and one bathtime pic

So, here he is, all bundled up with his zadyball. We meet at Central and Northern.

Here's Wes saying hello to the camera. Hi Wes!

And lastly, a pre-bath picture with Daddy. He likes to get in with Patrick and get in the shower stream while the ducky tub fills up. Patrick talks and talks and talks and squeals when Daddy gives him baths. He loves Daddy baths!

Great website for safe cosmetics

I ran across this great website that you can search for products and see their "safety" level. I see that we've got some good stuff for Patrick but some of my mommy cosmetics don't always fare well. Very interesting. www.cosmeticsdatabase.com

Patrick's First Balloon

These are today's pictures pre-teething freak out afternoon - he bit me really hard 3 times while breastfeeing. He WAS happy today, I have to keep reminding myself of that. Today we went shopping and thanks to the folks at Trader Joe's, he got to play with his first balloon. He gripped it really tight when he first got it and shook it around, but then quickly liked the idea of seeing it float to the ceiling. It was fun to see him with it.

Peas Peas Peas

So, I finally got this video up. This is from a few weeks ago and it was so cute.

Patrick has a little cold and wasn't feeling so well Saturday but he's a bit better now but he's still pretty phlegmy and hasn't been able to cough or sneeze much up and out. Hopefully soon.

We sold our brown couch on craigslist after finding a new couch and chair on craigslist.

Bye Bye!

Hello! Thanks Mr. Model Baby Patrick!

Love that site. We've been trying to move furniture around and get rid of the extra "stuff" around the house. It's slow going but we'll get there.

We are thinking that sometime later this year we might get some chickens. I know you're thinking that we're crazy but I think it'd be so cool to have some pet chickens to get some backyard farm fresh eggs. Sean found this rad site that makes it almost too easy to not make happen. You should all check it out and get your own backyard chickens. Omelet is the company name. You will flip at what they've created for us cityfolk.

What else has been going on...we went to the Hissyfits Children's Resale Shop Craft fair and got a neat jingle ball called zadyball that a local mom made, she's working on getting a patent and trademark...you go craft fair mom!

I was excited to go to the craft fair since I've been preparing myself to try my hand at sewing. I know, I normally don't really consider myself a crafter (and I haven't even started yet) but I have this great sewing machine that I got a few Christmases ago and I want to put it to use. Plus, I need a hobby that will keep me at home and not tempted to shop or spend gobs of money. So, I thought sewing would be a new challenge and something that I could do. Little did I know that there is this whole new world of cool kid crafters that are 20-30something. Amy Butler is one of those who are helping the movement. I will be posing pictures once I make something. I have all my supplies and most of the notions (that's what they're called, notions), I just need to clean up a bit around the house, build my workspace and figure out all the library books I picked up. Right now I plan to start on a baby bib from the book "Bending the Rules."

Wow this was a long blog. Well, Patrick is taking longer naps now that he's sick. However, he's only wanting to take his morning nap...and...that's....it. So, afternoons are a bit long. :) I will write more later. Toodles.

The new funny face

I took this right as we were getting back into the car from visiting the downtown library. You can't really hear it but he's breathing really hard through his nose while he's making the funny face.

Today's cute pictures

The news I've forgotten to add is that we have a second bottom tooth and he's doing the funniest face where he...well I'll try to post a video soon.
