mission--monthly pictures: six

Word of the Day: forswear
Patrick at six months
On the green blanket.
Same blanket, different angle.
Patrick's starting to become more curious about things and interested in knowing how things feel. Therefore, he doesn't always grab at hair [or faces, for that matter] and try to pull it into his mouth. The above picture is a display of him feeling his father's hair and playing with it. JD seemed rather amazed as this was going on; he was all like, 'Hey, he's not pulling, he's doing it gently.' Now I've got Patrick eating one vegetable and one fruit for dessert and a little bottle [partly to have him practice holding it himself]. After we're done with the food, I always clean him up and put the bottle in front him to see what he does with it.
Before...
...and after. I have a lot of pictures of the in-between, but I felt they were unnecessary though very cute. I had to help him out after that since he can't keep the bottle in his mouth, he can just get it there.

ahhh too cute!

I, for some reason, am especially fond of jd/patrick pictures and ashley/patrick pictures, moreso than solo patrick pictures. more more!
hes adorable. i really hope i have a baby as cute as that. and franks hoping i have a boy first. he says if not, we have to keep trying until we get a boy... i love kids but 15 would be too many i think.
Oh he is so so SO cute! I love these picture updates. You should do them weekly!

By the way, I had a great day with Gracie today. We had lots of fun (and visitors which broke up the day). She is also on fruits and veggies. Today's menu consisted of sweet potatoes, prunes and applesauce with a bunch of formula to wash it down.

MMmmmmmmm

Bye Ash...
these "mission: monthly x" entries are awesome. time flies though, i can't believe he's half a year old.

i love the pics of patrick with jd and with you. you can really see the resemblance to you guys. cute cute.
I think I cry every month when I look at your pictures. I think this is so great Ashley. I admire you so much for raising such a beautiful little boy.
