Patrick meets John

That would be Reverend Krueger to Patrick! John married us in 2004. He is a family friend who was in town visiting, and came over for dinner with his wife Pat and Dan's parents.

Patrick knows what is important

Even when his mother is kissing him Patrick knows to keep his eyes on the camera (and Papa behind it)!

Patrick takes notice of the pugs

Patrick has recently discovered Gatsby and Louie.
On their part, Louie and Gatsby like to sniff Patrick; Louie always tries to get a lick in too. They also notice when he is upset and unless I hear Patrick first, I can tell by looking at the dogs if Patrick is crying upstairs (they hear everything!).

Watching the Red Sox

You know summer has arrived when the Red Sox are on TV every night. Here are father and son spending time together watching a game. Later in the evening, when Dan puts Patrick to sleep, they listen to the radio broadcast of the game. Soon enough Patrick will be explaining the intricacies of the game to his mother!

So tired!

Louie is definitely our circus dog. Here he is sleeping with his head hanging down from the pillow in what I guess is a comfortable position to him.

I am 5 months old today!

We love you Papa

Happy Father's day!

Visiting and receiving visitors

Patrick went to see family on Sunday. Here he is with his uncle Dan and his cousin Hannah.


Later his aunt Dinan came to visit.

Drunken Sailor

Patrick just got this "chair" called a Bumbo. It is basically a chair with extra support, though as you can see, not enough support just yet.
Here is Patrick trying to sit up in it.

"I almost got it, mom will you take the picture already?!"

"one more adjustment"

"Ta dah, I did it!"

A beautiful Sunday

Sunday was gorgeous and so what better thing to do than get comfortable in the sun. Here are the dogs doing exactly that.

Come and play

When the weather is nice Louie likes to sun himself in the garden. Just in case I come see him, his ball is right there for him to play with (me to throw and him to catch).

When Patrick is happy

Currently Patrick's favorite position is on his back, where he can see everything. He will squeal in delight and kick his feet straight out (second picture). It is a lot of fun to watch him.

Like Father Like Son

I can finally see why everyone says Patrick looks like his father. To the left is a picture of Dan taken when he was three months old. To the right is one of Patrick taken on Saturday.

Monday afternoons with Karine

Once a week Karine babysits Patrick. He has a wonderful time with her and I always look forward to her visits too!

Exhausted Louie and Arliss

Sometimes on Friday Louie and Gatsby get together with Arliss and Tonka to play, hence the "Friday Pug Club".

Last Friday Patrick got to go over and visit with Arliss and Tonka as well as Loren and Joe. I am not sure how much Patrick notices the dogs just yet but he definitely seems to enjoy all the activity when around them.
