My first crush









So I have always been told that I am dashing and debonair, but today the reality was in full force! I was shopping with Mom at Burlington Coat Factory(Do you know they are more than great coats?) anyway, mom had me in a back carry with our lovely giraffe beco, that was ok for a while, but those aisles were soooooo appealing! So mo as crazy to do it, but she let me down, I ran and ran, up the aisles, ent left, went right, down the aisles, mom was not getting much shopping done since she had to power walk to keep up with me, then I stumble upon two grandmas wheeling around their 5 month old grandaughter, her name was Olivia and it was obvious she was smitten with me, she couldn't take her eyes off me! I flirted for a few minutes but then I started smelling up the place, you guessed it, I had a poopy diaper, mom tells me that this is a turn off to the ladies but I really do not think Olivia minded, it was almost like a connection of two people who suffer with poopy diapers a few times a day. So I had to say good-bye to Olivia and go get my diaper changed. After the diaper change once again mom tried to attempt to shop, but Predictably I was running through the place like a mouse in a cheese maze with Colly and Mommy in hot pursuit. All of a sudden I feel someone holding my hand, I look into the brown eyes of a beautiful latina princess, I never gor hername because neither her or her mommy spoke english, but she did understand my point and grunt language. She was two yrs old, an older woman, but we had so much fun playing together, hand in hand walking up the aisles as our mommies followed us and spoke to each other in the few words each knew from the others language. It was so much fun! I hope to see her again some day, maybe at the playground.

Communication; Get the point?





Some people communicate with sign language, others speak, there are so many language and dialects it was hard to choose, so I chose pointing and grunting as my primary language. Why should I have to form words when I can just point and grunt and someone will always do my bidding? I love to point to balloons, and most of the time I end up getting one. When I wake up in the morning, I look up, extend my arm and point my finger towards the helium balloon on the ceiling above my bed that miraculously has not lost its anti-gravity power yet. I start my day with the ballon point and say "Bul" and I am just so cute that mommy's heart just melts and of course she starts me off with my first 100 kisses of the day, I am just so loveable, she can not resist. Another person who can not resist my point charm is la madrina, Auntie Rinda, she says she is going to buy me 100 balloons! I can't wait to see her again! I made her a slideshow of my pointing portfolio, I am sharing some of them here s well. Love to all! XOXOXOXO Patrick the King.

All better now


Just wanted to follow up on my rotavirus from a few weeks back, I feel much better now. I am back to eating like crazy, still nursing like I am a newborn, but mom doesn't mind, bc it burns calories! I am adjusting to my mommy working five days a week, I know its only four hours a day, but to a baby, it seems like forever. I am so sad when she leaves. My Dada, Jessie, Anthony, and Colly do their best to entertain me, one day last week Anthony spent thirty minutes running, jumping, and touching the ceiling t keep me happy. I still miss mommy though, I know she feels so guilty so I make sure I give a guilt bolus before she leaves, I do my boo boo face and cling to her. Mommy will be leading a breastfeeding group at a community agency soon as part as her job, and I get to go with her! That will be exciting.

I have developed a few new interests these days, I love balloons, balls, and anything mildly spherical that I can throw. I like to play catch with anyone who will play. I also love taking off my diaper, the sense of freedom is intoxicating! I have a new wagon that is lots of fun to ride in, and when I get bored Mommy pops me into a comfy back carry so I can see things at a different level.

Anyway thats all for now, I have to get my mommy to sleep.

Hugs and KoalaRoo kisses to all! XOXOXOXOX
