Okay, Okay, I know, it's been a while. Here you go.

Tate's first camping trip. He loved it!

His first (and only) bath in a bucket


The many faces of camping . . .

At home? Sweet potatoes are what keeps him busy.

And last, but not least, a melancholy stare from today . . .

Tate videos

Tate loves to laugh!

Solid Food Anyone?

Pictures to take you through 4-1/2 months

Still loves the swing

And napping on Daddy's chest

Tate had his first plane ride to visit his two great grandpas in Wisconsin. He was a champ traveler and picked up a lot of new fans along the way.

Carrie (mommy's cousin) wore me out

I did this all by myself, maybe I was born to be a prayer warrior, or maybe Evan is just rubbing off on me :).

Talking is hard work!

I liked it when Tonya (mommy's cousin) held me. I got lots of snuggles on this trip.

Great Grandpa Mac was good at making me smile

It was fun at Great Aunt Sue and Great Uncle Art's house

Great Grandpa Art was happy to meet me too.

And, no trip is complete without practicing our sitting skills

And our leaning skills too :)

Looking cute is the easy part

And finally, Tate and his cousin Sam. I think they will be very good friends - what do you think?

Picture update through 14 weeks

10 WEEKS OLD ALREADY!

Being a mom is so fun! Here are some pics to bring you up to date. Tate is now 10-1/2 weeks old, amazing how time flies. He regularly smiles, giggles, and jabbers. I think he talks more than Noah and I put together :). Some of these are a little blurry because they were taken with my phone, but still worth posting I think. I will have to work on carrying the camera around.

I can't help but think he is already up to something

I don't remember being this happy the first time I wore jeans

Since Tate comes to the office with me, I thought he better start looking the part :)
