Tate at Two Months

We are having a lot of fun with our new baby.  He is very laid back.  :)  It's amazing how "easy" a baby seems compared to a toddler!

Tate is really observant.  He loves to watch his big brother (and friends!) play.  He's started batting at toys and turning his head to see the big boy on the move.

Tate is a good sleeper.  He’ll sleep just about anywhere!!  In the swing, in the carseat on your shoulder, at birthday party…

His favorite position to sleep is completely spread out!  (Something I remember him doing when he was “on the inside”!)  The boy likes to stretch out and show off his length!

Tate has taken a bottle a few times, and although it takes a long time, he's learning. 

He loves bathtime.  He is so mellow that I usually take my time and let him soak.

Tate is really chatty.  (And this comes from the momma of talkative Reid!)  He  “coos” and “ahhhs" all the time.  Can someone please harass Jer to post some of the videos he’s taken?  )

Tate is handsome.  I mean, seriously!  I can't believe how stinkin' cute he is!

Tate is a joy to us and is very loved.  (Sometimes we have to make sure he’s not getting too much love!) 

Oh, and one more thing...Tate is a BIG baby!
Height:  24.75 inches (97 percentile)
Weight:  13 lbs 13 ounces (92 percentile)

Meeting the Martinis

Our good friends, the Martini family, came by for a visit last weekend to meet Baby Tate.

Here is when they met Reid 22 months ago.  Time flies!

“Cheeeeese!” Or Should I Say, “Chocolate!”

I Dare You…

I dare you – no!  I DOUBLE DOG DARE you to look at this photo and resist smiling.

Can you do it?!?  Me neither.

We are lucky.  Baby Tate seems to be a happy little dude. 

Tate at Four Weeks

At four weeks, Tate is already smiling a ton!  We had his four-week well check today.  He’s big, like his brother was!  The current stats are: 

Weight: 10lbs 12.5 oz (83 percentile)

Height: 23 in (94 percentile) grown a full two inches from birth!!

We are really enjoying our laid-back little dude.

Tate's First Three Weeks

We have had a great first few weeks with our little Tate.  Surprise, surprise that there hasn’t been much time to update our blog!  Here are some photos to catch you up on our first few weeks with our new little man.

First Hours

You know we can't resist a "soapy butt cheeks" photo...(and here’s big brother! They are going to kill us some day! )

Observant little Tate at seven hours old…

Meeting big brother...(who was slightly more interested in his doctor kit that the new baby...)

Meeting grandparents…

First Week

Meeting (some of) the extended family….

First sponge bath at home...

Second Week

Reid at 22 months and Tate at 10 days...

 

 

We went to the pediatrician for the big weigh in…

Our first family outing was to Zilker Park.  We tried out the double stroller… ….the big boy took a ride on the train…...and enjoyed the playground, while the little guy snoozed in the fresh air.

And today, on Tate’s three-week birthday, the brothers had some playtime with Papa……and cuddle time with Ammy.

We love our sweet little Tate!

Tate’s Two Week Stats

Little Tater Tot did a lot of growing in his first two weeks! Here are his stats from his two week doctor appointment. (which was last week...I'm catching up... :-) )

Weight: 9lbs 5 oz (92 percentile) up a full pound from birth!!

Height: 22 in (99 percentile)

Our pediatrician took one look at his feet and hands and said, “Oh my. He’s gonna be big!” He’s a healthy, big and sweet boy!
