Since Tate was given his freedom, life has been crazy and hectic! Mostly because we are trying to make up for almost a years worth of not really going anywhere…. if you remember, I spent 5 weeks on bedrest, then Tate spent 2 months in the hospital while I was recuperating so all we did was go to the hospital and home except for an occasional visit to church and to the grocery. And then we spent the following 6 1/2months keeping Tate as secluded as possible so he wouldn’t get a single germ! lol. Now he is almost 9 months and allowed to be free!!!! It is great, but now I can’t find my way around anymore…. what is this by-pass thing we have to drive on and where did all those new homes come from? I feel like an alien in my own neighborhood, lol. But at least we’re getting a Dunkin’ Donuts!!!!!!
We’ve taken Tate to the Grocery store, (he slept through it) Wendy’s ( he wanted to eat , too), Target (he loved it), Babies RUS(zzzzz), out to breakfast (hungry again), and church (YAY!). Its been fun!
Meanwhile the camera is on the fritz, the cat pooped in the bathtub and puked on the carpet, the other cat has been hanging on the curtains, the plants are starving, the laundry is knee deep and we have to eat on paper plates ’cause all of the dishes are still sitting in the sink waiting to be washed. But none of that matters because Tate is asleep on my lap and he has the most adorable bed head I’ve ever seen.
Now for the good stuff….. Tate says “Hay!” and “Gee” (hard G), he reaches for Mommy (that’s so cool!), loves to play the piano (his own and mommy’s), knows his name, sits up, rolls over, babbles up a storm, can watch entire episodes of Baby Einstein without getting bored, turns the pages of his 3 favorite books, hates green vegetables, can drink from a cup (usually mommy’s), and still won’t sleep through the night. The pediatrician is going to have a field day with us when he finds out that Tate still won’t sleep anywhere but his but his bouncey seat or Mommy. Of course, Mommy and Daddy think their Doodle Bug is the cutest, smartest, best baby in the whole wide world and we can’t possibly be biased. I still thank God every night for my special baby and for another day of life together. It doesn’t get any better than this!
You can see how exciting Easter festivities were at our house!
