Pouty Lip

I finally got a picture of Patrick doing "pouty lip." He does this when he's unhappy about something but isn't to the point of screaming. This usually means he wants more attention or something else minor. He reserves the crying for real problems or if he continues to not get what he wants. I don't think he likes that it makes us laugh. It's just so funny! Apparently his daddy used to do the same thing when he was little. Could it be genetic?

Again, this morning I woke up to the sounds of Patrick's Gloworm. I like this new habit of him waking up happy and playing quietly until we come rescue him from the crib. I'm a lot happier first thing in the morning when he smiles at me when he first sees me instead of crying. Hmm, I just realized that he hasn't screamed at all today yet. At this rate, today is going to be a really good day.

And I have one more fun Patrick story for today. We've started having problems feeding him when Matt is sitting next to me. The way I hold him, he can see his daddy out of the corners of his eyes when he's eating on one side. His daddy distracts him, and he tries to watch him instead of eating. Sometimes he tries to eat at the same time but is so focused on watching Daddy that he's not paying attention to where his mouth is and ends up sucking at the air instead. It's adorable that he can get so caught up in watching his daddy. He clearly adores Matt. I hope that never changes. It warms my heart so much to see my two boys together that it doesn't bother me that he doesn't look at me the same way. I just want so badly for Patrick and Matt to have a good relationship; I don't care if I have a very different relationship with Patrick.
