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!

A few more from the snow storm...

SNOW STORM!! John Patrick at 15 weeks

Got almost 2 feet of snow over the weekend, and it has paralyzed DC. School was cancelled Monday and Tuesday, and we are enjoying extra Mommy time at home this week! Took little man out in the snow, and he was not a fan!! Today we tried again, this time while it was not snowing, and put him in the sled. He didn't cry, but his face tells it all.. "Go ahead, Mom, get your pictures. Then can we be done?" He at least humored me!

My First Visit to Santa! @ 15 weeks

Decided to hit the mall to meet Santa on Friday night before the big storm blew in. Hardly any wait at all, and they were even nice enough to let me take my own pictures on my camera. John Patrick didn't mind the Jolly Fellow, but he was kind of out of it, so no big smiles like usual. I was hoping for a tug-the-beard- picture....

My First Thanksgiving

Decided rather last-minute to go to Rochester to spend Thanksgiving with family. John Patrick had a blast with his cousins "KatieMeganClaire" as they are known, and his aunties and uncle JP. Here are a few pics of the little man surrounded by his adoring cousins and Godmother Sybil!

John Patrick is 3 months old!

Hard to believe he is already 3 months old on December 3rd- also my return back to work date. I am going to miss spending so much time with him everyday, but will look forward to coming home to his irresistible smile everyday. We did this portrait session at home last weekend in hopes of getting a Christmas card shot, but he was past his smile time. Nonetheless, we still captured his "preppy boy" spirit!
