3 months old

Tate's 3 months old today! Since I've gone back to work, I feel like he's changing daily, right before my eyes! He's getting to be so big with all the eating and sleeping he does.  Today he ate 16 oz, played with daddy all day and crashed hard by 7 pm.  He's sleeping about 7 hours straight at night, so we're getting close to sleeping through the night.  We're all looking forward to that day! 

Loving his little roly-poly limbs...

Celebrating Mommy's almost MBA finish

Happy 1st Mother's Day!

I had a great mother's day today!  I even got a card and a Starbucks card from Tate (he knows me so well!)  It was nice and sunny out so we spent lots of time outside helping Ian with the garden and meeting Zoe for an afternoon walk around the park.  

A very relaxing Sunday that was much needed after starting back to work and finishing two classes last week.  We were relaxing so much that we almost forgot to document the special day today, but took a couple of pictures after dinner. 

 

Tate even wore his special shirt that says "Mommy Loves Me" and managed to spit up on it multiple times-that must be love!

And we couldn't leave Daddy out.

Spending time with Daddy

Since I had class two nights a week, Ian and Tate got to spend lots of evening time together either making dinner or out getting the garden ready.  

Hiking, Biking, and Camping

We had a great overnight trip to Moab this weekend with the Bowmans from Bozeman.  The boys did some serious mountain biking and the girls and Baby Tate did some serious hiking.  It was warm and sunny during the day even though it rained hard at night.  I was a little worried about how Tate would sleep in a tent, but we bundled him up and he did great!  Hopefully we'll have many more camping adventures to come!

We were going to take our new puffy coat from Grandma, but its still a little big. Next time!

 

All wrapped up in his own little sleeping bag.

Big Boy

We had our two month check up last week and I was excited to see how much weight Tate had gained in a month.  Turns out quite a bit!  Tate weighted 12.5 lbs-which I figure is about a pound a week since last month.  He's getting cute little chubby thighs and dimples where his elbows should be.  Good thing too since he had to have immunization shots in both legs; poor guy!

Over the hills to Great-Grandma's

We drove to Denver last weekend to see my Grandma, Tate's Great-Grandma.  It was a great family event as Grandma (Mormor) and Grandpa and Uncle Jake were also there.  We had lots of laughs and everyone got a chance to hold the baby-including Jake who wasn't so sure about it in the beginning!  

It was a relatively quick trip, but such a treat for Tate to meet his one of his Great-Grandma's and now he can say he's been to 3 states and he's only 2 months old!  

Tate got his own bed in the hotel in Grand Junction, CO  where we stayed the first night-Lucky!

Tate's almost as big as Aunt Pam!

Traveling home all in one day...what a long day.

playmates and playdates

We've been getting out and about lately making friends.  So far I think the Moms enjoy it more than the babies do!
