Happy Birthday to Tate!!

Tate turned ONE!! Glad to finally to be sharing a blog with everyone. Now that my little guy has been walking, he is keeping me busy and I'm just trying to keep up and keep the household afloat. So if anything is going to be on the "back burner", one of them is going to be blogging. Plus my camera is on the blink, it works when it wants to, a result of it being dropped one too many times. Anyway......... We celebrated Tate's first year with a small party, he had is own personal cake. I was more excited about the cake than he was, he did not show much interest. I was really looking forward to cleaning up the mess, you know with frosting in his hair, in between his toes. Nope! It did not happen. He was not all about opening gifts either, he just wanted to crawl around. Now he's walking, climbing up furniture and will soon be talking, he is babbling so much.

Lake Fayetteville

This week my hubby has been home with Tate and I, and this morning we decided we'd check out the trail at Lake Fayetteville. It was nice to spend a leisure day together. Tate has been especially enjoying his daddy home with him, he is a daddy's boy. Earlier this week, we visited the library and had lunch at Wilson Park, a really nice and shady park, it is actually quite impressive. We discovered walnut, pecan and hickory nut trees, oh yeah, we know all the spots now-we will be back!!

Look At Me!

Greetings to All! I have a milestone to share with you. Tate has been working on this one for a few days now, and this past Saturday, he came to a standing position all on his own!! The video is a bit dark, but very cute to watch. Tate is 10 and a half months now, he is sipping from a cup now really well, he likes to eat fresh fruit, he's not much on baby jar fruit. His babbling can get pretty loud and he's growing all too fast. Next month, he'll be a year old, I am clinging on to the memory of the day of his birth and the early months. I considered us to be a pretty close bunch, but I have found that having Tate is our lives has brought us even closer.
