Patrick at 5 months

We finally took Patrick to get his picture taken by a professional! He was a little overwhelmed by how many people were trying to get him to smile, but he still did a great job. I got suckered into a package deal where we'll get about 400 pictures by the end of it, but I guess for my first time, it was to be expected! The photographer totally saw me coming! From here on out I hope to get his picture taken every three months or so....and I won't be buying the package deal!

Pool Party!

While we were in Salt Lake, my cousin Rachael had a pool party at her fantastic new house. We had a great time "swimming" with the cousins. I wasn't brave enought to dunk him under the water though - maybe next time!!

First Flight!

In Mid-July, Patrick and I flew to Salt Lake to visit family and friends. This was his first flight and he did so great (it was me who was very close to losing my lunch!). I should have had someone else take a picture of us together on the plane, but I was too sick to think of it. Here he is though in the terminal and on the plane. Hopefully he's off to a good start of being a world traveler!

Little Milestones

Chalk it up to being first time parents, but we love to capture Patrick's little milestones. Lately he rolls over with ease (it is getting back to his back that he is working on now), falls asleep holding his toys (not sure if that is a milestone, but it was cute!), and has a big enough head to wear sunglasses now!

4th of July!

For Patrick's first 4th of July, we headed to Ennis for the parade. He slept through most of it while we stood in the blazing sun, but it was still fun!

A blog is a blog is a blog

After much pressure - the Steeley's have started a blog. What is a blog? Who came up with the word "blog" anyways? I suppose we shouldn't worry our little brains with such questions, but rather be happy blogs exist! What a great way to keep in touch and share pictures (especially when your mom still has dial up!). Anyway, we've joined the blog forces and hope to keep it updated. Send an email to remind if necessary - we like a little probing!
