It's official, I can crawl

I have mastered the technique of crawling and just love getting around on my own.

7 months old and on the move

"I can now officially crawl without falling on my belly everytime I move forward. I am know working on getting up the step from the sunroom to the living room. Once I make it I can really play with Patrick and his toys*. I can also sit up pretty well and am learning to eat fruits and vegetables. Soon enough I will be walking a talking!"
*As you can imagine, Patrick is less excited about this development. Today he said he was mad at Alexander for taking one of his toys. The fun art of negotiation begins....

Here is Patrick at 7 months.






Dinan visited this weekend. Patrick is always so excited when he is told she is coming. We had a nice time and Alexander liked it too.

Happy Halloween and other pictures

We were blessed with a little pumpkin and a big boy fireman on Halloween night.



The little pumpkin helped me give out candy for a while, during which he also played in his exersaucer.



While the firemen enjoyed trick-or-treat with Papa, Dinan and a friend. (Notice his handy dandy water bottle spray to help put out fires!)



Here are some other pictures of our beautiful boys having fun on a lazy weekend morning. (taken Oct. 26)


Patrick is truly sweet with his brother and here he is giving Alexander a kiss.
That profile cracks me up. He is actually watching Patrick dance. see below.


Patrick is quite the dancer. He likes to organize dance recitals (there must always be two dancers minimum) and dance lessons. Here he is with his special moves.
