Word of the Day: lamia I'm watching a documentary on A&E about 'Star Wars' and it's impact on everything. A few momentous occasions have happened in the life of little Patrick Alexander in the past couple of weeks. He went to the park for the first time. He didn't like to swing by himself. He liked to swing with his daddy more better. He went down the slide a couple of times, too. He was sleepy, though, so we didn't stay for long. This is just a freakin funny picture. Patrick likes to eat his daddy's hair. It's funny funny funny. He giggles and sucks, and JD cracks up. This past Saturday was his little cousin Evan's first birthday party. His birthday isn't until Wednesday, but Laura [JD's sister] wanted us to be there for it all. Evan had a cupcake cake. The whole time we were trying to get ready, Ethan [who's two] was trying to seal a cupcake. He got really close a couple of times. We gave the boys their cupcakes, Patrick's very first. Patrick-- Evan-- Evan was slightly more cautious with his, while Patrick was all like, 'Oooo, red gooey stuff.' And the destruction-- After the boys got bathed and cleaned up, they played together in the living room. I've never really seen Patrick play with other little babies a lot, so it was fun seeing him interact with his cousins. The boys of the family. Patrick's first Halloween. Rawr!! He looked so cute this morning. The ladies at the daycare said he did really well with the picture he took, so I'm assuming they're going to be freakin cute. Boo.
