Welcome Home, Patrick!

This is Patrick: This is Jack (when he was a few days old):
Did you see any similarities? ;)
Patrick got this cool shamrock hat from Jim's friend Tim.

We have another Cardinal fan in our house!
We brought Patrick home from the hospital yesterday, and he was finally able to meet his big brother Jack. This is Jack's first look at his little bro:
Patrick had a couple presents for Jack (wasn't that sweet of him?).
Jack is rocking his little brother in the car seat.
Jack got to hold Patrick for the first time. He kept giving him kisses and hugs. Cute, but not as gentle as we would like.
Today, Jim took Jack to a Halloween party. Jack got to wear his Superman costume for the first time. He didn't take it off the rest of the day.
Jack got to decorate a cookie, and eat it!
There was music and dancing. At first Jack just wanted to sit on Daddy's lap.
Later, our shy guy got up to dance a bit.
Look at Jack's cool elephant balloon! By the time he got home and I saw the elephant, all that was left was the trunk, eyes, and one ear. Now the only thing left is the eyes. I am sure those will be gone by morning.

Uncle Michael and Kathleen came over to see Patrick.


Jack was excited to hold Patrick again. His interest in holding the baby lasts about 20 seconds.

We have taught Jack just to kiss Patrick's forehead (not the lips as he was doing before).
