Getting pudgy!
He is too busy looking around to sleep.

Uncle Father Drew came to visit Patrick. Patrick loved being held by his uncle.


One day soon, Patrick will be bigger than his toy elephant.Patrick loves going on car rides.
His mom loves him.
He had a check up this week and the doctor is very pleased with the way little Patrick is growing.

I bet all parents feel this way about their babies...

but I just think Patrick is just PERFECT.

He is 2 weeks old today...!!! He had his first bath today and, just like his pop, he loved the water. On the other hand, he didn't like getting dried off in front of the camera. He screemed his first words today as you can see in picture #3, "I am not a performing monkey!" We were impressed. He finally tuckered out and took a nap. Whew! He keeps us busy.

He is growing up so fast.

Patrick is now 13 days old. He can no longer boast 'newborn' status because he lost the stub of his umbellical cord this morning. Next he will be asking for the car keys. He is a good little eater and sleeper. He loves it when his pop reads to him.
