What's New...

Just thought I would post about all of the new things Tate has been up to...

Tate is changing so much with every day! He is becoming quite the Momma's Boy which may have something to do with the fact that he's been teething again! I swear this teething stuff is never going to end! He's been a drooling mess and chewing on anything in sight these last few days. He has been drinking out of a sippy cup for a while now although he would much rather just play with it and throw it around! He is chatty all day long. He constantly says, "what's that?!" with a wide eyed look and when he sees someone, he says, "who's that?!" with that same wide eyed, excited expression. It's pretty cute! He can (if he's in the mood!) say what a cow, dog and lion say the sound an airplane makes ("WHHHHISHHHHHH") and he knows where his nose and mouth are located on his face. He HATES getting his diaper changed and isn't too fond of holding still in general! He's always on the go and is into EVERYTHING! He can climb stairs and walks around anything he can stand up to. He can stand on his own for several seconds and even more than that when he doesn't realize he's doing it! Today he even took a step on his own!!! I think it was quite the accident, but still pretty exciting. He's really not going to be walking anytime in the next month we don't anticipate, but hopefully in the next couple of months he'll get the hang of it. We are fine with him crawling for now...we know that as soon as he walks, he'll be into even more things! He loves his baths and mealtime. He eats like a champ and we are amazed at some of the things he likes. He really isn't too fond of drinking water yet, but can chug a sippy cup of milk with the best of 'em! :) He is still a HUGE Mickey Mouse Clubhouse fan and also LOVES his Praise Baby DVD's. For fun, he plays with his Little People, trucks, play kitchen, books, balls, DVD cases, balloons, stuffed animals, rocking octopus, push/ride toys, anything with buttons he can push that light up or make noise and loves to play peek-a-boo. He is a dancing machine and we believe he already has rhythm! He definitely jigs to the beat quite well for a nearly 13 month old! He says, "Ipoop" (yes...as one word), "ah done", "guck" (duck), "mik" (milk), "daddy", "dad", "mama", "mommmmm", "ouch", "HIIIIII", "nan you" (thank you) and all of the other words he knew before. Oh, and we can't forget one of his favorite words to say..."NO" and sometimes even "NO NO". That's not our favorite of all of the words! Although we may be a bit biased...we think he's pretty amazing! :)

Here's a little video of him playing, "Where's Tate?!" tonight...

He is learning so much SO fast!! Love to hear his sweet words even if it is over the phone!! ;-) I think he'll walk before you think he will.
