Tate's 12 month stats

Tate had his 12 month appointment last week, he is a very healthy boy everything looks great!

Here are his stats:

Weight: 23Lbs 51%

Height: 32inches 95%

He is so cute!! He is officially a toddler he is walking everywhere!! He likes "playing" piano, absolutely loves playing with his cars, he loves cars period, even when we are out in the back yard he hears a truck going by and gets all excited!! Loves animals, I can't wait to take him to the Zoo and the aquarium!! He especially loves dogs!!
He loves scrambled eggs, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches and mandarin oranges. Had no problem switching from formula to whole milk. Loves Ice Cream!!
He loves to be tickled and likes to tickle us back, adores his daddy when daddy is home no one else exists. Says Mmmm! when he is eating and when he is hungry, plays pick-a- boo and hide and seek. Gives cuddles all the time this is a new thing and we love it. He likes his back scratched.

Anyway he does so many cute things I could go on and on about him, can you say :"Proud Mama"!!

Our 5th Anniversary!!!

This has been the best 5 years of my life, they haven't been always easy but definitely the Best. I married the greatest man, Garrett is everything I ever dreamed of and more. I wake up everyday knowing that I am loved and that I love him so very much. I love seeing him with our baby boy, he is caring, affectionate and fun. Garrett makes me laugh everyday!! I only hope that I can give back to him as much as a get from him. He and Tate are my everything.
I love being married to Garrett!!
I love you sweetheart Happy 5th Anniversary, you make each day an adventure!!

My cute birthday boy...

A lot of 1st's this week...

We had a ot of first time stuff happen this past week or so.

The best one is that I officially have a Toddler that's right my little guy started to take his first steps I'm so proud!! it started out just two steps at a time last Saturday but now he is up to about ten at a time I can't believe it!!! He still wobbles and falls on his bum most of the time.

We got him in his new car seat (facing forward) which kinda scares me but he loves it!!

Oh and we got his first hair cut, his hair was so long and he started getting really frustrated because it started falling on his forehead and in his ears, HA HA!! We took him to this place called COOKIE CUTTERS and he got to sit in a little car that the horn actually honked he loved it!!, it was great he did awesome didn't even cry. He didn't like the buzzer by his ears I think because it tickled.

Everyday he learns something new , it's so amazing to see him grow. I love this little guy so much!!!

After his hair cut he got a balloon, as you can see by his face he loved his balloon.




Right before he got his hair cut!!


This is the before.


He woke up from his morning nap,I went to get him and this is what I found!! He took his pants off!! STINKER!


We put a 30 gallon container at the bottom of the stairs to keep him from crawling up. Well as you can see he found out that he can go over it.


In his new car seat, he is so cute he does car noises every time we go out.



I ask him to "call" daddy so he picks up my phone puts it by his ear and says( in baby talk of coarse) HELLO!!
