Patten is 10, 11, and 12 months!

So life keeps throwing punches our way.  I was doing great being able to blog from my phone, finding time to actually sit at a computer has been more difficult. Here are the last three months worth of pictures.

10 Months

 11 Months

 12 Months

This little man spent his first birthday in Oregon.  We went to the beach, Tillamook Cheese Factory, & a lighthouse. 
He isn't officially walking yet but took his first few steps a few days before his birthday.
He also cut his 5th tooth on his birthday. With his 6th tooth following a few days later.  He got his bottom middle ones first, then his top two next, but they weren't the middle teeth on the tops they were the next ones over. So he cut is top middle teeth right around his birthday.
 He loves almost everything and still the happiest kid.  He enjoys watching sports with his daddy and cheering with him.   He claps at the end of prayers.  He sympathetically laughs when others are laughing. He loves to sing and bob to music. 
That goes right along with his musical heart. He has a still's murmur that is completely harmless.  When we were visiting with the cardiologist he described it as the blood rushing by his heart strings and making noise that sounds musical.  So he has music in his heart.
He likes to spit and babble the day away.  He says, "Mom," "Dada,", "Ba," and "Isit."  He also likes to point, touch things with his pointer, or stick his pointer finger in things. I think its his way of testing things out or drawing attention to what he wants others to see.
