As you can imagine we've had our hands full but that is really no excuse. I admit it - I am not a blogger. I am not someone who is disciplined enough to commit to logging on and updating on a daily or weekly basis to post anything at all. This does not mean I do not want to share everything we've experienced with our little man. It just means I'm not a blogger. And I know I've said it before... and I'll say it again.. I'm going to give it a try. Not because I feel like I have to but because I actually want to. Of course, I want to exercise and get fit again but I have yet to get to the gym postpartum... but that's a whole other story. First, I'll give my fingers some exercise by getting back to this blog. and then I'll have a few beers and think about the gym again.
I actually started up my birth story... oh... about 4 months ago... as you can see, it never got published. I vow to finish this too though. one day - but dont place any bets... no, do it, place a bet - money is incentive after all...
ok, so the real reason I am writing it to update about how amazingly wonderful our son is! He is just simply amazing! Now I see why all those other parents out there brag and think their child is the best one out there. Now I can relate to all those parents who find the most little thing, like poopping a solid poop for the first time, something to write home about. I will never roll my eyes again at those parents... mainly because I am one of them now.
Tate is officially 6.5 months and holy shmoly time goes by quickly. It's amazing how his initial sack of potatoes disposition has changed into something that resembles a toddler.
sack of potatoes coming home from hospital at 3 days old:
no longer a sack of potatoes - just over 6 months old:
Tate loves that dog in the park almost as much as he loves his Mommy!
I really can't wait for the weather to be nice and sunny - we can picnic in the park and enjoy the long days (although, we'll prob be home before 7pm to put the little guy to sleep... nights out will never be the same again).
Tate is eating solids now and it's hilarious. We'll need to post up some videos.
Man, just looking at those two pictures - how far he has come in such little time simply amazes me!! Time has flown by. I mean, super warp speed flown by... it's crazy!
I still can't imagine him being 3 years old much less 18.
Yikes. I think 3 more new white hairs just popped out thinking about it.
Ok, need to finish this up and give my fingers a break. I'm exhausted from writing and I feel sweat beads building up just above the brow. Thank goodness I have my sweatband on.
up next... the birth story (that's the plan anyway).
