Hanging with Daddy

Visit to the Gilmore Cousins in Richmond- 6.5 mths

We had a great time down at Dan and Karissa's this Friday and Saturday visiting with all the cousins. John Patrick just loved all the attention from his aunt and uncle (cuddling and rough-housing, respectively), and the play-time with his cousins Stone, Jarrod, Addison, and Jess. Jess was good enough to get up with him at 5:30am for an hour of early morning playtime. John Patrick led the yoga routine. Jarrod was so sweet he cooked breakfast with Dan, and even wiped up John Patrick's spit up from his toys. What a good cousin! Thanks for a great visit! Cant wait to see you all again soon!

Discovering Grass! 6.5 months

Spring is here! Loving the swing-set for the first time!

And this one is a really funny face! He was so excited he looks kind of scary in this one!

Play date with Farrah- 6.5 months

John Patrick was getting frisky with Farrah... taking off her socks on a play date. Gotta keep an eye on him!

John Patrick is 6 months old!

Happy half-year birthday, little man! Your personality and spunk continue to blossom as the months pass. You have so much fun playing with mommy and daddy, you won't let us sleep! You babble "mama" and "baaaa" and imitate all sorts of other sounds like "YAY!". You sit up tall and love to dig through your toy basket to pull out every single toy. You get mad at us when we eat in front of you and don't share. You are insatiably hungry day and night. You are strong and love to tackle daddy. Your eyes are brighter blue now then they were at birth, and you love to make flirty eyes at any girl you meet, no matter how tired you are. We love you, little man! Every day is more fun because of you!

6 months- happy boy

The last one is of John Patrick's new favorite game- sit in front of his basket and pull out every toy. Notice the huge pile in his lap!
