Easter Photos

Happy Easter!

Long awaited photos....

Patrick is a year old now. Walking, trying to talk, & has 6 teeth! And yes, his mommy has been a slacker. Please forgive me. Here are a few pics from his birthday & Halloween. I will post more from his birthday party at a later date.

9 Months Old!

Patrick is 9 months old now. Here are a few pics from the past month or so. He just goes & goes & goes & goes.... He is such a bundle of energy! It's been hard to catch a photo of him. Just gettin' into everything! He has met so many new friends, Adler, Sara & Lindsay. Patrick has also been spending time with his cousins, Darla, Lexi & Jordan.

BBQ with Kay Kay & Pops

So Many New Accomplishments!!!

Patrick has accomplished so many milestones lately. Just in the past week he has sat up into a sitting position, pulled up on furniture, & began crawling. He is such a monkey & starting to get into everything!

Here is some pics from last week & some pics from our visit to Nashville (including Patrick's surprise nap while I was packing up the car to begin our treck, him sitting in a restaurant high chair for the first time, & a pic of his good friend Evan).

1st Time at the Beach!

Patrick's first trip to the beach at Orange Beach, AL! He had a blast! His favorite thing to do was taking naps on the beach. He either napped on KayKay or Daddy while under the umbrella. Here are a few pics of him enjoying his trip!

7 Months Old!

Patrick is now 7 months old. Here are some pics from the last month. Ridin' the little red wagon with Nannie. And just goin' for another ride in the car seat.

Patrick goes to School!

We have finally found Daycare for Patrick. He went his first day last week. Here is also a picture of Miss Belle enjoying her Easter card & a picture of Patrick & I at his first baseball game. Ole Miss @ Southern. We didn't win, but Patrick had a good time.

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a happy Easter! We ended up staying at home as a family since we were all sick, but we are all feeling much better now. Here are some photos from Easter Sunday, Patrick's first Easter egg hunt at "Mommie & Me" (April 4) and some from Kay Kay's birthday on April 2.

How'd you get there?!?!?!?!?

A pic taken on March 7. I still don't know how he got there!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Wow! It has been so long since I have posted a picture. And Patrick has grown so much! Here is a photo of Patrick & his cousin Jordan on the blanket at the end of February. Patrick with his Kay Kay! A pic of Patrick & his cousin Charlie in their carriers earlier this month. A few pics from St. Patrick's Day. And a pic of Patrick & me after his first visit to church!

Tummy Time!

Patrick is getting so strong and doing really well with keeping his head up. He hasn't rolled over yet, but he is working on it!

3 months old!

Patrick is 3 months old today! He cheered so hard for his Saints yesterday, but they just couldn't pull it off. He says they will be there next year and he can't wait!

Patrick is just growing like a weed!!!!

Ok, I have been slacking on the blogger job, but I will try to at least post a picture a month. Here are a few photos that were taken between Christmas & today.

-Patrick is modeling his "baby scrubs". He wants to be just like his mommy!

-Next are 2 photos of him smiling. If you are a parent you understand how hard it is to capture your childs beautiful smile on camera.

-Patrick finally got to have playtime with his cousin Jordan. Jordan is almost 3 months older than Patrick. (1/5/2007)

-Patrick relaxing after a large meal!

-Patrick's first time in the stroller! He is getting ready to go strollin' in the neighborhood with mommy!

-Daddy is giving Patrick his meal before his first trip out to a restaurant. We ate dinner at Logan's with Ryan & Anna Copeland & their 1 year old Emily. (1/12/2007)

-Wow! Look how much he has grown! (pic taken 1/17/2007)

-Today he had a wonderful visit with his Mammaw Kathy & his cousins, Darl & Lexi (not shown in photo).

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Patrick had a wonderful Christmas & New Year! He even stayed up past midnight on New Year's Eve!
He is now smiling & talking more than ever. He brightens our days!

More Pics to come.....

7 weeks old

We went to see the doctor this morning. He is healthy & weighs 13lbs 5oz!

Patrick is 6 weeks old

Isn't he sweet!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Patrick is 5 weeks old now. He had a great Thanksgiving getting to meet the entire family (with a few who were unable to come). Unfortunately he now has a little congestion, a cold. Hopefully, he will get over this soon and begin to feel better. Here are just a few photos.....

1 Month Old

I can't believe Patrick is already a month old. How time flies!

Patrick is 3 weeks old!

We had lot's of fun today! We started off in the morning at the gym with lots of activities. Patrick had a tiring workout. He'll get the push-ups one day! Later that day we had a bath. Patrick acted like that was another workout for him!

Patrick.....A very popular little man.

More visitors.......Patrick has been visited by many family members & friends. Here are a few more pictures from those visits. He has been visited by Aunt Mona, Cousin Jason, Mamaw & Papaw Beasley, and Michelle & Dan Moore (picture coming soon!).

Patrick is 2 weeks old!

Patrick is 2 weeks old now. We went for his first check-up today. We recieved a good report! He gained his birth weight back plus 4 oz (9lbs 8oz)! He's a growing boy!

Much appreciated help!

I just wanted to thank my family (Kay Kay, Pops & Aunt Kristi) & especially my mom, Kay Kay, for staying with us in the early days. We don't know what we would have done with out you. The transition is flowing smoothly so far, but I guess it has only been a few hours since they left. Jackson, Kristi's son, also came to help out. He is still trying to figure out what this "Baby" is doing to getting all of his attention.

Happy Halloween!

I'm trying to catchup with posting pictures. Most of you know how it is with new-borns or children for that matter. Patrick had a special visit from his Mamo Kathy & Papaw Dwayne on Halloween. They brought him a cute Halloween sleeper. (It has a tail to it!)

One Week Old!

It's Mean Monday! Things are slowly settling down at home. Jack & Belle are still adjusting to the new family member.
Today was Patrick's due date. It is hard to believe he was born just a week ago. Here are a few pics from the weekend. It was Sunny Sunday! MaMaw & Papaw McCool came by to see their new great grandson. The next pic is 4 generations of McCools. Mark, Patrick, Brian & Paul McCool. Nanny (Linda) & Pappy (Mark) were also visiting. Patrick (Mommy's Little Devil) can't wait till Halloween! Happy Halloween!

Little Man Patrick

Today is Silly Saturday! Here are a few more photos. The McCool family leaving the hospital. Patrick at home greeted by Miss Belle & Patrick's first bath!

Little Man McCool is Here!

Patrick Brian McCool was born at 1154 pm on October 22, 2006. Much to everyone's surprise, at the last minute, we learned that he was bigger than expected. He weighed in at 9lbs 4.6oz and 21 inches in length. He makes so many interesting noises and faces. Here are some pics of him. The Biggest Rebel fan has been born!
Patrick thinks or at least his days of the week shirts say..............
Wednesday, October 25th was Winky Wednesday;
Thursday, October 26th was Toothy Thursday; and
Friday, October 27th was Frolic Friday

Meet The McCools

This is my first blog, so please be patient with me.
Meet Brian & Kelsi. The first photo is of us in February 2006 at The North Shore on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Our family expanded when we adopted Jack & Belle in 2004. They are now 2yrs & 4 months old, Dachshund/Beagle mix. The best puppies ever! What personalities!!!
In the other photo of us we are 34 weeks pregnant. We are expecting our other addition to the family this month........a baby boy! His due date is Oct. 30th. I guess we'll just have to wait.
There will be many more blogs in the future keeping you updated on the family & the new addition.
