He is a good baby, still sleeps quite a bit. We aren't on any type of schedule yet, but hopefully that will fall into place here in the next few weeks. He is nursing good but will also take a bottle. He sleeps 3 or less hours during the night, which is pretty average, and I can't expect much more than that right now. Like I mentioned he will take a bottle, but he could give or take the binkie, he doesn't really seem to care one way or the other about it.
They say babies don't smile (or smile back) until 2 months old, so maybe it's just gas or coincidence, but Tate has seemed to smile (smile back) quite a few times already. While I was in the hospital, I looked up the meaning of his name and it means "cheerful," which seems to be fitting so far! ..Although he does have quite the little scowl sometimes, it's so darn cute though!
His brothers are still enamored with him, and they smother him with love daily. They have accepted a new sibling really well and have helped me out in many ways. I feel so blessed that everything has gone smoothly in that sense and there haven't been any jealousy issues.
Tate has acquired quite a few nicknames: Tater Tot (of course!), Taters, Tater Bug, Tatey Bear (like "Teddy" bear HaHa), and Everett and Noah often call him Tatey.
We just love our little man so much!
