Mom of the Year Award....

Would certainly not go to me this year! On May 26th I was holding Patrick on my lap while sitting on the couch and when I went to stand up he sort of threw himself forward and I basically dropped him on the floor. He broke his left arm just above the wrist and I felt so terrible! He was such a trouper though! I wouldn't have even known it was broken had it not been for the fact that he couldn't crawl, so Donny & I took him to Butte to have it x-rayed and put in a cast. He had that cast on for 10 days and just got it taken off today. Now he has a smaller (waterproof - yippee!) cast that he'll wear for 2 weeks. We'll post pics of the new cast soon, but enjoy these little moments in the first cast....it didn't slow him down a bit!He crawls on his elbow and his good hand but we borrowed a walker from a friend to spare his elbow a little bit. I love all of his expressions in the following pictures - he's such a happy guy....and his tongue is out all the time!
