Kitchen repairs

The mess we have to deal with this week. After 2 years we finally get our kitchen replaced at NO charge to us. But a mess it is! Tomorrow is the hard day when the counter top with the sink comes out. They needed 3 or more to help with that. So that's a job for tomorrow. There hoping not to break the counter top since its all one piece with the triple sink in it. John has been worried about Drew touching the loose wires. I told him it Drew would not do that. They are not supposed to be in the kitchen unless we are with them because of that. Also the refrigerater is top heavy so they can't get into that either. They're bummed!

It's been a painful week!

Look what I've got coming in. I'm hiding my fourth behind my finger. Standing at the window. I'm getting around good these days. I like to check out all my surroundings. Below I'm being a booger since my mommy is trying to take my 9 month picture and I want sit for her. I think it's funny, but she don't.

Getting all Dressed Up

My handsome boys! Getting all dressed up for the Holcombe/Bennet Wedding reception. Patrick stayed home with Bob since it didn't start until 7pm. Besides he was asleep at 7:30pm. John and Drew did real well until they had too many sweets.

SO BIG!

Today Patrick had his 9 month well visit. Everything was on track and doing well. But the same concern that we've had since our 6 month visit. He's finally OFF the chart this time. He weighed 15lbs 5.5oz. At six months he was in the 3% of the so called chart. His doctor would like for him to be 17 lbs now. His doctor said he's not to tall either so his weight is not too off. Chris wanted to know if she had noticed me yet. He might just be like his mommy. I don't wish that on him. he he. I'm going to get him up before I go to bed and get in another feeding for a while. We'll see how that goes. Wish me luck! He is such a good sleeper. After 45 minutes of waiting and missing his morning nap time. He decided to rip the table covering up once we got into a room and waiting on the doctor. He didn't want mommy's lap or nothing to do with the stroller anymore. Hey, it made him happy for a short time. Happy baby after my 3 hour afternoon nap. Into everything!

Escaped!

He has escaped! We were getting ready to take a bath. Because Patrick is cutting 4 top teeth this week I had ran to my room to get him some teething lotion and motrin before bath. When I left him, he was in his bedroom at his toys. When I got back he was at his door. All Smiles! Wondering where he can go now. Which way should I go. He looks like his thinking. Just laughing at what he's done. I kept saying he was a big boy and he thought that was so funny! One of his top teeth has just broke the skin and 3 others you can see. Although it's painful I'm sure, he's really been pretty good. Just wants mommy a lot and to be held during the day more than usual. Praise the Lord! He still sleeps his normal hours. 10-12. Yah for mommy!

Pajama Day

John has already gone to school and now it's time to get Drew out the door. He's already asked if he could have another Pajama day. He laid out Monday and Fridays are always Pajama day for Drew. I told him he has Pajama day at school tomorrow where he can wear his Pajamas to preschool. And his reply was I can wear them at home today. So he climbed into the bucket of toys and Patrick tries to find out what in the bucket. It didn't take him long to get dressed for preschool. His new thing is dressing himself now. So he was dressed by the time I went upstairs to get my shoes.

Patrick playing

I talked to my Aunt this afternoon and Patrick was fussy and attached to my hip, like his been for the past week. I know he's cutting upper teeth. When I hung the phone up he wanted it. When I figured out what he wanted I tossed it across the floor. Drew took it thinking he was not suppose to have it. My reason was if Patrick wanted it bad enough he'd get it. He did. After I had to make Drew leave it alone. So Drew went to play with his cars. Dumped them out onto the floor. Boy Patrick loved that. Off he went. Drew again didn't like it. Started to put them away (so Patrick couldn't get them) I made him leave them out. Finally I made it fun like, oh Drew, Patrick's going to like yellow trucks too. Then he felt big. Hey it got Patrick off my hip for 30 min. he he. Patrick is starting to crawl. He rocks on all four then falls down and scoots to what he wants. It want be long. I just hope he don't walk at 9 mos. like Drew did. I couldn't believe Patrick was happy for 30 min. By that time it was dinner, bath & bed time. I finally found Patrick's pain while getting him ready for his bath. His right upper tooth is just about to break the skin. So maybe by next week we'll have a new tooth.

Patrick's first popsicle

The Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is where we stayed and it was real nice. I did take advanage of a morning at the spa and getting my hair cut while the boys napped one day. It was nice to have everything you need all in one place. He was so excited, he wanted more. He would yell at John when he took the popsicle away from him. When John stepped back Patrick came forward to get more. Yum! Yum!

Walt Disney World II

We had such a great time at Disney. We ate and ate so now it's diet time. We had 5 charactor meals and 1 dinner show. And lots of snacks and quick meals. Fating! Breakfast with Pooh and & friends. After a good rest at the football game we took a swim. Patrick wanted to get in the pool so bad. He just laughed and laughed. I finally put his swim suit on and got him in for a minute.

Walt Disney World I

While in Orlando we went to the capital One Bowl game. Auburn vs. Wisconsin Mid way Patrick crashed. Drew decided to give up on Auburn, his favorite team who was not playing and we don't even know if they showed up for this game. Can you believe what those Auburn fans did. If you'll notice there is a flag lowered. Auburn fans for a day to support little man Drew. As you know we travel right by the University of Florida on our way to Orlando, so mom was out numbered when dad said who wants to stop by the University of Florida. Go Gators! So we stopped has you can see. Let me out. After a good nap Patrick climbed up and was playing with his big brothers. This means dad has to lower my crib when we get home. Saturday, New Years Eve we joined Chef Mickey for dinner. The boys tried so hard to stay up this night. Finally at 10:30 I told John we'd wake he and Drew up at midnight to go see the fireworks outside. This was the way to go in Disney! Wouldn't have made it without it.

Patrick Christimas Day

Thought I'd post some pictures of Patrick Christmas Day.

He was asleep when the other boys pictures were posted.
