Quarterly Update- Patrick

Patrick is such a smart and determined little boy.  He is very headstrong so we definitely have a lot of trouble disciplining him. But, he can definitely be a real sweatheart when he wants to be!

He loves his stay at home days with me and is so excited every morning it is a "stay at home day." He would stay home every day all day playing with his trains and on his ipad if I let him. He is definitely a home body and prefers to be indoors as opposed to outdoors. Although once you get him outdoors at the park, pool or lake, he does fine!

We are still really struggling with his eating. He prefers to drink strawberry smoothies, drink milk and eat crackers (oh and any kind of junk food). Still working on a way to get him to eat a little more!

He really loves his brothers, but he has a hard time sharing the attention with him. We are working on his aggression with Peyton, because he is very rough with him and tends to hit him and push him down a lot. I have noticed that he does this when he is not challenged. The child needs to be challenged or entertained pretty much all the time or else he is very bad. Hopefully this means he will grow up to do wonderful, brilliant things (at least I hope!)

He still doesn't require much sleep, so on the days he stays home can be very challenging for me. He wakes up around 6:30am and goes to bed around 9pm (sometimes later). He rarely takes a nap. So it is an extremely long day with no break.  On the rare days he does take a quick cat nap (about 30 minutes) it is so great and really helps. It is amazing how much you can get done in 30 minutes and feel much more refreshed to tackle the rest of the day!!

And just when you think you are going to kill him (figuratively speaking of course), he looks over at you and says "Mom, I just really love you."  The tough moments really make it all worth it with him when he is his sweet cuddly little self!

Loves hanging out with Matt and Mark


Can't believe how big he is getting! He is so handsome!


Family pic


He loves his cousin Harper and they are the best of friends


So excited about Lego Lightning Mcqueen




Hanging with Big and Allie 



Love this precious boy!


He loves to swing and will swing for a long time. Still working on learning out to pump his legs to keep himself going. Seems to be a hard concept for him.



He is such a daredevil. He loves anything that involves running around and being crazy


He was so excited about his cupcake. The boy loves him some sweets


Wrestling is another one of Patrick's favorite things


He can also make a huge mess in a hurry! He loves to learn though!


He loves Conor so much and it is precious! He is always asking to hug and kiss on baby and loves to hold him. Hope they always have this sweet closeness.



He also LOVES swimming and is getting much better. I hope he gets a little less nervous of taking his wings off, but we are working on it.







He wasn't that fond of the beach during the day, so we spent more nights on the beach with him




Seriously, how is he this big already?!?!
