Patrick Henry Block

We went to the doctor today for a checkup for the first time!  (Well, besides the ones Mrs. brenda did for a while after I was born.)  It was alright…I had to get nekked and they pulled my legs and checked my thighs.  That tickled, so I laughed at the silly lady.  They put me on a boat-looking thing and said I was “21 pounds”….whatever that means…..then they stretched me out and said I was “27 1/2 inches.”  they looked in my mouth with a flat dry thingy, and it was kinda funny at first.  But then I didn’t care for that because I was hoping it was a boobie, and it was not.  So then I cried until I got some milk, and that was nice.

The doctor lady was very quick, and didn’t really play with me much.  I peed on her table after she didn’t put my diaper back on tight enough and it leaked out.  heehee…  I wish Mrs. Brenda did my checkup!  She always had lots of time for questions, and she played with me more.  Mommy says we will have to look into this, and also some other things the doctor mentioned that she isn’t sure are true and/or wouldn’t be best for me.

I still didn’t nap for a while until after noon in the car on the way home.  I think Mommy left me in the car for a while when we got home because I was finally sleeping.  (She kept checking on me every few minutes, though.)

Then this evening I got to lick some homemade bread!  I tried to grab it and stick it in my mouth, but Mommy wouldn’t let me very long.  But she did let me have some polenta from her plate at dinner!  It tasted like Herbes d’ Provence, or however you spell it.  I think I kept most of it in my mouth.  I licked some homemade salad dressing off her finger, too.  All in all, a pretty eventful day!

Patrick has something to say:

Just look at that…caps lock, shift, and  he even “saved as.”  He even tried to open a new document, but I told him that was enough for now.

Daddy & I were just sitting here at the computer looking back over some of my past photos, videos, & stories.

We decided that we need to make more videos of my because I’ve learned to do several things that haven’t been featured here yet. I think I should post them, because even if you don’t want to see them, I know my Grandma’s will want to.

So Daddy, let’s go make some movies!

Ok, no trees or kissing went on other than us kissing our babies.  We visited Lindsey and Brooke, who was born about 25 days before Patrick.  She is a cutie!  And she’s the only baby I’ve seen with more hair than mine.  We gave them belly time and they talked…mostly Patrick talked…and I think he was checking her out….  But it was so nice to spend time with Lindsey because I haven’t seen her in forever!  I don’t have many baby momma friends (of people I’ve known for more than a year, that is), so we will have to do that again!

So Patrick is definitely interested in other babies now!  The other day I put him in front of a mirror and he made eye contact with the other baby and smiled.  I wonder what he thinks about seeing two Mommies at once, though – one holding him and one next to him!

Here are Patrick and Brooke:

"You know, Brooke...."

I went with Mommy on two photo shoots today!  I got to sit in a vibrating seat and watch some musical toys light up in front of me.  I wanted to touch it but I didn’t know how to make my hands do that.  So then I watched Mommy walk around the room.  She’s really nice.  I also talked with Brooklyn for a little while at the end.  She is pretty cute!  Mommy thinks I’m a flirt, though, since I won’t talk to Branch (he’s a boy).

Here’s a picture of me talking.  I have a bit of a smile, but not my very best one.

This was from a few weeks ago & we forgot to upload it. One of these days we’ll get him on video doing his cute smiles that he’s been flashing at us!  But we’re just enjoying them when he does them and not worrying about grabbing the camera.  That might surprise some people, but as much as I like taking pictures, I don’t want to miss things while I’m looking through a lens and trying to expose and compose something properly. 

Anyway, Jenn, this is particularly for you. 

Here is a collage we put together for a canvas gallery wrap we ordered!  I can’t wait to see it on our wall!

What’s cuter than a sleeping baby? A baby that makes noises in his sleep!

So here’s a little video where you can enjoy some Noisy Sleeping Baby Patrick cuteness.

Last Monday, Rebecca, Patrick, & I all went to Columbia, MO to see Bowfire on the Mizzou campus. It’s a really great show featuring all different types of violin & fiddle music. Patrick seemed to really get a kick out of all the lights, color, dancing, & music. Rebecca & I loved the show too!

Afterward, we got a hotel room & ordered some pizza. From the picture, it looks like Patrick decided to take that chance to really chill out on the hotel bed in his first hotel stay!
