BITING one year old for sale!

Well it's been another couple of months since I posted, so here's another one. Patman turned 1, got some teeth, and ladies and gentelmen... even some HAIR!!

  We had Paddy's first birthday party about two days before his actual birthday party. Of course, it was Star Wars themed, complete with his Yoda costume. Even Pat and I donned our Star Wars shirts and our friends Peter came as a storm trooper and Kate as a jedi. I made a sweet Death Star cake (well, I made two. Made the first one the night before and woke up the morning of the party and it had literally fallen apart. Did I mention this was my first time baking... ever?) So the day of the party, I made another one. I thought it looked like the Death Star, everyone else may have thought it looked like a grey blob. Whatevs, it was awesome anyways! It was complete with a Darth Vader holding a candle/lightsaber. Everyone else had cupcakes that had lightsaber cake toppings on them.

The nerdiest family in town

Death Star-ish cake!

Patman!

  All in all, it was a great party! All the O'Cs and O'Ds (with exception of JP) were there. He got some pretty sweet presents including a custom made batman cape that said "Patman" on the back of it from my sister. Friggen sweet present considering Katie didn't even know I had planned on dressing Paddy up as batman for Halloween and calling him Patman! (As dad would say, "we must be psycho or something!") So I won't get into what happened after the kiddies left and Paddy went to bed. Let's just say we were hungover for about 3 days after the party.

  Paddy got two teeth at about 8 months old. Then nothing for a couple of months till he got FIVE at once. Now he wont. stop. biting. me. And only me. I feel like I'm literally afraid of him sometimes when he gets in his biting moods. He's given me bruises because he bites so hard! I will be very very VERY happy when this phase is over with.      Jerk.

Uncle Leo! Hello!

Hello! Holy shit balls has it been a long time since I wrote on here. Life has been a fucking blur lately. To break it down, January was a goddamn drunken mess because my brother JP was in town for about 2 weeks straight. Obviously I'd be a horrible sister if I didn't drink with him 5 or 6 nights out of the week. February was decent, Valentines Day came with an exchange of farting/beer drinking cards between Pat and me. Then March arrived and I feel like I haven't even sat down in weeks. Pat and I got married on St. Patricks Day! It was an awesome amazing and wonderful day for the both of us. Even Pat had fun! And Pat never has fun at weddings! We got a babysitter for little Paddy so Pat and I could 'ahem' enjoy ourselves that night :) All in all, it was the perfect wedding night, lots of drinking, dancing, and partying with our loved ones.

  On the Paddy front, dude has been walking for about a month now. I use the term 'walking' very lightly though because he hates it. He can do it, he just would rather crawl than take the time of day to take a step. Which is fine with me. Like I said, the sooner he's walking, the sooner he's in my shit. He currently has no hair to speak of. Poor guy is Baldy McBalderson still, and it looks like it won't be changing any time soon. He's getting so big though! He could probably crawl out of his crib if he put his mind to it. He just got rid of his bottle and is on all solids. Tonight I cut the feet off of his pajamas because though his body fits into his pjs, his feet are too big for them. Looks kinda like a hilbilly right now. Which in turn gave me a good 5 minutes of laughter.

  In a month he'll be 1! I can't believe it. Since the wedding is over, I've been focusing on planning the best Star Wars birthday party the world has ever seen... meaning, I made a pretty sweet banner. I'll post pictures after the party. Hopefully I'll post before then!
