Be Patient!!

I am the type of parent who expects the child to follow the book.

Life says to me: BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Patrick will do what he will do when he is motivated to do it and not in the sort of timely manner that makes it easy for Mommy to chill out.

Thankfully, he has mastered two milestones in the last week.

Patrick now feeds himself with his fingers. Nice to see since he hates to eat. And, he has exchanged sliding around on his back or rolling over and over for slithering around on his tummy. He also gets into an almost hands-and-knees position from sitting so maybe he will crawl someday.

And for weeks he's been pulling himself up on the furniture and his crib and the pews at church. He also likes to walk holding on to our hands.


Oh, and he's getting top teeth.
