WOW!

This morning Patrick pulled himself up on the dishwasher! I had put him on the floor in front of the sink so I could clean up breakfast. He was trying to lean and get the dishwasher. I was a couple feet away putting the silverware in the drawer, when I saw him start to pull himself up. I dropped the silverware because I thought he was going to fall hard. But he didn't! He just stood there looking so proud of himself. Reed was walking out the door and saw him, so we both clapped for him.

He will finally scoot around on his bum now. He still avoids his knees, but he loves to stand and he will turn and maneuver around on his bum to get things.

My last post said that we are healthy and happy. We are still happy, but not all of us are healthy. The morning after I posted that, Patrick got a runny nose and cough, and the next day gave it to Reed. So I was at church by myself yesterday while the sickos stayed home.

I have to tell you the funniest thing that Patrick does right now. He puts an empty Mr. Potato Head bucket on his head. My mom got to see it last night when we were on the web cam, and she thought it was very cute and funny. He does it all the time to show off.
