John Patrick's first tooth! (at 24 weeks)
It came the night we lost power in the big storm. We thought that he woke up crying because he was cold, even with 3 pairs of jammies on. We cuddled him and soothed him, and when he woke up in the morning, we knew why he had been so upset! His first tooth had cut through the gum! Over the past week or so, it has been creeping out more, and now his second bottom tooth is also out. This picture is from Valentine's Day, when the second tooth wasn't very visible yet. Such a big boy!

If only I could eat cake...
In honor of Valentine's Day, I decided to make a Red Velvet cake. SO yummy! I just adore red velvet, and if Georgetown Cupcake didn't charge 3.50 per taste of heaven, I would buy the bakery out. This one came out just delicious with a yummy cream cheese frosting. I just can't eat it in front of John Patrick. He looks at me longingly, as if to say, "If only I could eat cake!"
On the move! 24 weeks
John Patrick is on the move. Trying very hard to crawl. He can scoot himself across the floor, and makes diaper changing quite the acrobatics act. Here is a picture of him after rolling during a diaper change and trying to escape!

More snowstorm 2010- with his buddy Ronan
We put the boys in their baby bathrub in the snow like a sled (of course I had been dreaming of this photo opp while cooped up inside all day the day before!) Ronan was pushing his feet into John Patrick's face, and sicne he couldn't get to his hands due to his snowsuit being restricting, and since he is big-time teething (his very first tooth popped out a bit on Friday night!!), John Patrick responding by eating Ronan's feet. Oopss. sorry about that, little guy! He didn't seem to mind too much!
Also included a few of John Patrick chilling with Daddy- he is very interested in everything Daddy does, and is especially fascinated by the computer!
Snowstorm of 2010
Trying to post a few pictures from this weekend's major snowstorm that dumped 25 inches on DC, before packing up and heading out as the next round of 10-20 inches pounds us tonight. This has NOT been fun for us, but it was pretty on the first few days, and we could at least somewhat enjoy it all before our place got soooo cold from losing power. Thanks to good friends who have been hosting us as we flee for heat!
John Patrick is not much a fan of the cold and snow, but he let me snap a few shots of him in the snow at least!

John Patrick learns to sit up at 5 months old
It started at about 4 months with his fascination with his feet- he could balance pretty well, but leaning over his legs so he could eat his feet. Now he is loving being able to sit up for little periods of time on his own! He works the abs pretty good- every time we lay him down, he grunts and heaves trying to use all his tummy muscles to sit up. I think he may be developing a 6-pack already! In any case, I just love his faces as he is so proud of himself and his new skill!

Guy time- John Patrick and Ronan
Last week we had a play date with our friends Linda from church, and her little Ronan, who is just a month younger than John Patrick. He is so sweet! John Patrick loves being around people of all ages, but he really loves little people like him! The boys were so cute sitting on the couch together. John Patrick leaning on Ronan's shoulder, and later, trying to hold his hand, and then, steal his binky. Ronan was a good sport about it all!
A few more from the 5 month photo shoot...
Just to show how long John Patrick is! He is already wearing size 12-month pjs comfortably!
