One half of a year!!!

Happy 6 months to Katelyn! We celebrated by mommy taking the day off of work! Well actually, school is out for the summer...yay! I am enjoying spending my days with Katelyn and Patrick so much. I had a really busy month at work, so I haven't had a chance to blog. Katelyn had a great month. She can sit up on her own now and even stand for a few seconds! She sleeps from 8:00 at night until 8:00 in the morning. She loves to eat applesauce, prunes, peaches, sweet potatoes, and bananas. She laughs CONSTANTLY, especially at her big brother. We will find out how much she weighs in a couple of weeks, but I suspect it is around 20 pounds. She is already wearing 12 month clothes!

Patrick is doing great, too! He is talking non-stop now! He says "mom" and "dad" at least 300 times everyday. He speaks Spanish a lot of the time, but is starting to learn that when he is with mom and dad he speaks English and when he is with Marta (his babysitter) he speaks Spanish. He still loves Elmo and has learned how to tap dance like Elmo. He also loves Bob the Builder and we even took him to a live Bob show this month! Patrick is SO adventurous and frankly, a little dare devil. He climbs on EVERYTHING. When we go up to the lake house, one of his favorite things to do is ride his trike off of the fireplace, so that it flips over. We went to American Adventures today and Patrick rode all of the big kid rides by himself. He is so brave. We have decided that he will for sure be a football player!

Now that we finally have a good routine and Katelyn is sleeping through the night, things have settled down and we are just really enjoying having the 2 sweetest babies in the world!

Enjoy these pictures of Katelyn from her 6 month day and one of Patrick riding his trike on the deck!
