"Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate."

It's a quote from Jack Sparrow. A character in a movie. A popular movie. For those of you familiar with my literary snobbery, I admit, I would expect me to quote something a little more time-tested as well. But I can not readily think of any other claim I find to be truer. I heard it and thought to myself, "Well that's just beautiful. And how right and simple."

This is really just a place for those close to our family to keep track of us and our little treasure, Patton. It will be a place where I'm sure I will unload a lot of complaints, sing praises, drop bombshells, and celebrate the tiniest victories. Maybe Tim will stop by and drop a line every so often. Our life is beautifully quiet, uncomplicated and easy in the way that southern living by the sea is meant to be. It may not entertain or grab hold of you as you peruse its goings-on, but we love it dearly, and are happy to share each little moment with you.

Talky talkerson.

Patton is starting to really talk both verbal and sign, sometimes he is saying the word and doing the sign. He is amazing me on a daily basis by picking up words we haven't been focusing on. Last night before bed we were all on the couch watching a cartoon and a snow leopard came on and Patton says "kittie," Dare said "did you just say kittie?" He was, over and over again and then all day today.

He also surprised me today by saying "thank you." Turns out he had been signing "thank you" for weeks and we just didn't recognize his sign, which is sometimes slightly different than asl but he is now saying and signing thank you together.

He is growing up so fast.
These are his words so far.
Signs
Fish, bird, milk, momma, grandma, airplane, more, all done, book, socks, hear, help, eat, ball, music, shoes, potty, play, flower, thank you,
Words
Momma, boy, baby, uh oh, oh no, daddy, bye bye, puppy, bird, kittie, thank you,
