His Grandpa and Mimi, Kristin's mom's preferred name in lieu of "grandma," gave him the "Jumperoo" for X-mas. Only problem is that although he seems mature for his age he's not quite large enough for the Jumperoo. But, for now it is his space ship - at least that's what this picture reminds me of.
I hope Patten won't one day kill me for posting this picture.  But I just had to show how happy he looks in the bathtub.  Every other day Patten gets to do his favorite thing - splash in the bathtub.  It is the cutest event I have ever seen.  We lay him down in the water - he looks at us for about 3 seconds - gets a big grin on his face - and then splashes until he can't splash anymore.
