Four years ago today...

Nathan and I met each other four years ago today! I can't believe how much my life has changed in four years. I couldn't be happier and I am so grateful that my roommate made me go with her that night to Nathan's friends' apartment!! I love you Nathan!

One Month Old!!

Today Tate is one month old! Everyone keeps asking me if it has flown by, but I feel like this has been the longest and happiest months of my life. Alot has happened in this month and I can say that our lives have definitely changed over the past four weeks!! Everyday, we are learning more about him as a little person and getting into more of a routine. Tate does some crazy things that crack me up. For example, he likes to put his fingers on his eyeballs when he is eating from his bottle. We have to pry his hands out of his eyes, so he doesn't get another infection. Also, he loves to pucker his little lips (which has been referred to as his "Blue Steel" look). Maybe he is practicing to become a model! He loves to lay on the ground where he can see the TV. We can't get him to look away when the TV is on. He must take after his parents, who love TV!! He just lays on the floor and kicks his little legs and watches TV. He also loves to eat and is getting a little belly. But, his legs and arms are still tiny. One day, he will fit into his clothes!

The other day, Tate and I were just chilling and we heard several knocks on the door and the doorbell ringing. We went to the door and three little kids from our neighborhood were at the door. They wanted to go into our backyard to play with a cat that had gone back there. They were all amazed at the baby and were asking all sorts of questions. One little boy (who is probably 4 years old) said to me, "If he can crawl, then he can come play at my house." He then told me where he lived and what his phone number is. I thought that was pretty funny! :)

Happy Halloween!

Yesterday was Halloween and Tate and I had fun dressing him up. We didn't go anywhere, so we spent our evening taking pictures. I wasn't sure how Tate would react to the Tootsie Roll costume, but he loved it. He was so funny and cute in it, that I couldn't stop laughing. We only had about 5 trick or treaters, so we are left with a GIANT bowl of candy!!

Before I put him in his costume, we had a little photo session cause he was looking too cute....

And now.... the Tootsie Roll!!!!!

Our Little Boy

Tate is doing well. He has a bit of a stomach bug, but he went to the doctor yesterday and is starting to feel better. He is such a sweet baby and I love spending time with him. He is actually sleeping great for a newborn. He usually sleeps about 3 hours at a time. So, not too bad for a little guy. Nathan is so helpful and lets me get some good sleep, so I cannot complain!!! We are excited for Halloween and I will post pictures of Tate in his ridiculous costume!! :)

Tate loves to sleep with his hands in the hair. Do all babies do that? Either way, I think it is adorable!!

Tate now weighs 10 lbs 1 oz, which I think is a pretty good size. BUT, most of this clothes and diapers are too big for him. He has tiny little legs. I just want to eat him up sometimes!!

3 Weeks Old and Chillin...

Tate is three weeks old (as of Saturday). He is such a funny little boy and everyday he is doing more and we are getting to see more of his little personality. Last week, we got him a vibrating boucer chair and he just loves it. He is now sleeping in it at night (which means he usually sleeps for a little longer...sometimes). No matter how we put him in the chair, he always ends up sideways with his little legs hanging over the side. It is pretty cute. We are having fun figuring out what to do with him. My dad and Jenny left yesterday and we had a really good week with them. Tate liked spending time with his grandpa and his grandpa got quite attached to him as well.

Pictures My Dad Took of Tate...

My dad had some fun taking pictures of our little Tate the other day. He has the sweetest face and he is changing so much everyday.

The Latest...

Things have been crazy so I haven't had time to update the blog. My dad and his fiance, Jenny, are visiting from Kentucky. It was really fun to introduce Tate to his grandpa. He loves spending time with him! Here are some pictures from the last few days!
