Six Months Old!

Tate is six months old today. What an amazing six months it has been! I can't believe how much he has changed and how much he continues to change everyday. Tate is babbling like crazy. His favorite thing to say is "Nay Nay" over and over again. When he is sad, we usually hear, "Ma Ma" in his cry. He has no idea what he is saying, but it warms my heart to hear that. He also loves to make funny sounds with his mouth (smaking his lips or screaming) and it is so funny when he learns a new sound. He constantly rolls over and has figured out how to get up on his knees to scoot. It shouldn't be long before he is cruising around the house!! He definitely wants to move and gets frustrated when he can't reach something he wants. He grabs at EVERYTHING. I took him to the doctor on Friday for his six month appointment and he was grabbing everything in the doctor's office. When they put him on the scale, he grabbed all of the paper towels and threw them and ate the one that was left in his hand. He held on to that paper towel for the entire appointment. He is very interested in everything that we are holding or eating. He wants to touch everything and get everything in his mouth. He even grabs our ears and pulls us down so he can eat our faces. He is such a fun little boy. This is a great stage because he is so interactive but still our little baby boy. He is still snuggly and sweet to hold. I took these pictures of him today and tried to capture his everyday little faces and expressions.Tate puts everything in his mouth, including his hands. Tate likes playing on his tummy more these days. But, he can still only take it for so long.

This was taken in the middle of a "Nay Nay."What a sweet face!!

I almost got a smile on this one!

This is Tate covering his ears. He does this when he hears a loud noise, such as a cough, sneeze or Nathan cheering for Mephis during March Madness!!
