Tate Update

I feel as if so much time goes by before I am able to record the progression of my littlest. He is now 11 months old! I have failed to even record his "birth story," just leaving it as a special treat for his 12-month birthday post I suppose. ;)

Eight to nine months Tate got his first haircut, he became mobile through a combination of rolling and scooting/army crawling, earned a toothy grin with his two bottom teeth coming in, and continued being his happy self!

At ten months, following suit, he began to crawl full-time. Sometimes it is a combination of one leg outstretched, propelling him forward, sometimes it's both knees on the ground, and sometimes it's the "Mogly crawl" or elephant walk with both legs extended. Whatever he decides in the moment he can get to where he wants to go! He also started pulling himself up anywhere he gets the chance.

At eleven months, his top two teeth broke through, making his grin even toothier. He has started to love bath time again; for some unknown reason he fought baths for a little while and absolutely did not want to be in the bathtub! He follows his brothers everywhere and wants to be in on the action..including wrestling. He thought up a new game where he pulls himself up while on the couch and will let go and fall back, letting himself bounce on the cushion (a parent is always right there to make sure he doesn't fall, of course), he LOVES doing this! He has tried that game while on the floor, still seems to like it, but it's much more fun for him on the couch where he bounces and lands on something soft. He loves to eat! He is a good little eater and has tried all kinds of food over the past few months. Getting ready to start the weaning process, so we will see how that goes!

I feel so blessed to have Tate in our family! He has helped me get through the toughest of days with his sweet personality and snuggles. One of my favorite parts of the day is when he lays his head on my shoulder while I sway back and forth singing "Rock-a-bye Baby" at night before I lay him in his crib. He melts my heart!

We finally got a "new" (new to me) laptop, so I will upload some pictures and post those babies here soon! Yay! :) ..I have been using instagram a bit lately, so if you are on there add me, and you will be able to keep up on pictures of the boys a bit better than here for now.
