Rub a Dub Dub- Tate in the Tub

Dancin' Fool

This is my new favorite thing Tate does. Whenever he hears music (whether it is you singing, on a commercial, or on the radio), he waves both his hands in the air. It is so funny and we finally got it recorded last night. Sorry it is a little dark!

All Tuckered Out

We have had a busy couple of days around here! Tate and I went to Primary Children's Medical Center clinic in Sandy yesterday to meet with a Speech Therapist/ Occupational Therapist to help work with Tate on swallowing (he vomits when he tried to eat textured solid foods). They did a whole feeding evaluation and had him eat all kinds of different foods and textures and tried to see what his limits were. It went really well- alot better than I thought. He gagged a little, but they didn't push him to the point where he vomited. Tate loves it cause the therapist blew bubbles and played with him. They want to see us 2-4 times a month!! YIKES! And then, they referred us to a Gastro/ Intestinal specialist, more with the allergist and we had to make an appointment with his pediatrician. So, lots of doctors for Tater Boy!

So, understandably, Tate was tuckered out last night. He fell asleep on the floor while he was feeding himself his bottle. He is such a sweet little sleeping baby!!

More Evidence

Tate loves himself some golfballs and golf clubs. I believe this is more evidence that he is destined to be a pro golfer and buy his mommy and daddy a beach house! :) My dad sent Nathan a few drivers the other day (thanks dad!!) and Tate got a hold of them and entertained himself for an hour. I think Tate wants his grandpa to buy him a set of his own clubs!!! J/K

Crawling For Reals

Tate has been doin the army crawl for a few months now, but just this weekend he learned that he can actually get around on his hands and knees. I thought he might skip over crawling, but he finally did it! And, now we can't get him to stop. He is always moving or climbing. He wears me out!!

This video was the second time he crawled on his hands and knees. (After the first, I ran to get the camera. I had to entice him with my laptop to do it again!)

Who Does Tate Look More Like?

MyHeritage: Look-alike Meter - Family reunion - Free family history

This is always a debate between Nathan and I. Nathan thinks Tate doesn't look like him much, but now we know it isn't true. Tate is almost a perfect mixture! Do you agree? Who do you think he looks more like? (And, just because he is very white doesn't mean he looks just like me!!) :)

No Eggs for Taters

We have a plethora of doctors appointments for Tate this month to address allergies and feeding issues. We took Tate to the allergist on Monday and they tested him for all food allergies (because of the hive incident a few months ago). He didn't show that he was allergic to milk like we thought, but he did show a strong allergy to egg whites. He also flared up a little for egg yolks and peanuts. The doctor isn't completely satisfied with the results since Tate broke out in hives from the sensitive formula and that didn't have eggs in it. We have to go back for more tests in a few weeks. Tate was so sweet during the visit and didn't cry at all during the test. He was mostly concerned that he had to look away from the cute nurse while she poked his back. He was obsessed with smiling and laughing at her. Such a flirt! We had to wait around in the office for the reactions to show up and all Tate wanted to do was walk around and play. Oh, the adventures with this baby boy!!
