Here are two videos of Patrick being his usual cute self. In both he is in his high-chair because every time I hide out with a still or video camera he speed-crawls over and ruins the photographic moment. Here he's captive, which helps.
In one, he's interacting with his big brother and sisters. He started something of a chant, and they all joined in. In the other, he is using sign language for the first time, signing "more" by tapping his hands together. It's so neat when babies can start to tell you what they want! They feel so powerful and proud.
Note that he still has his ginger colored hair and four teeth (two up and two down).
Patrick's fingers are so tiny that he eats peas by poking his index finger into a pea, thus spearing it, and bringing it to his mouth. Tonight after he tired of eating peas he found a way to rid himself of extras on his tray. Over and over, he would drop one over the side of his high-chair and lean waaaay over to look at it down on the floor and pronounce, "uh oh" in a sing-song voice.
He easily pulls himself to a standing position with support from furniture and enjoys cruising around the couch and kitchen chairs. I expect some free standing sometime soon! Perhaps he'll be so busy standing that I can videotape him. :-D
