John Patrick's girlfriend

Sweet little Farrah is just the most beautiful baby! She is just a few days older than our little man, and we get together frequently for walks. Just had to post this of her beautiful face! John Patrick is one lucky little man to have such a pretty first girlfriend! :)

John Patrick 20 weeks- playtime

Little man's face really seems to be changing overnight. He is starting to look more and more like a little boy. He rolled from his back to his tummy for the first time in on Friday, January 22nd, and since then cannot stop rolling! As soon as we put him on his back in the crib, he flips over to his tummy. Tonight I put him in the crib for a few minutes while I prepared his bath, and when I went in to get him, he was trying to pull himself up to sitting using the bumpers. He was laughing, like he knew he was getting into trouble! We have our hands full with this active little guy! Time to lower the crib mattress before he attempts any flips out. We're having lots of fun watching him learn new tricks everyday!

John Patrick 19 weeks- First Sweet Potatoes

Little man started real food this week. He just couldn't hold off any longer. He looks longingly at our food. He grabs our spoons of food and tries to shove it in him mouth. He grabs our glasses with both hands, brings them to his lips, and tilts back to sip water. He knows food, and wants in. The Dr. said this boy was ready, so we started him with sweet potatoes. Boy, did he love that. Honestly, we didn't put too much thought into what would be his first food. I just had lots of sweet potatoes left over from our dinner, and mashed it up. After a few tries with sweet potato he had bananas, then avocado, then carrots, and now at 20 weeks, pears. He loves it all. What a foodie. Maybe I have a future chef, or restaurant critic on my hands... we'll see how he does with more adventerrous flavors as time passes.

John Patrick's First Food!

Too tired to explain right now, but he had his first bowl of rice cereal for dinner last night. He ate it right up and loved it! It was as though he just knew what to do! He has a strong interest in food, and we decided to give it a try, after earlier this week he sipped water from my glass without a problem. Now he wants to try everything!

Lots of Milstones this week (!7/18 weeks old)

John Patrick has been a busy boy. Today he had his first kiss with the neighbor baby Farrah who is 4 days older than him. He wouldn't stop reaching for her, pulling her in close to kiss her face, and trying to hold her hand. It was so incredibly cute. William hopped behind the camera to catch a bit of the romance. Farrah didn't know what to think of it all! We'll have to keep a close eye on these two on their next Friday play-date next week!
