Fake Crying and some randoms

After taking my time to get ready the other day this is how I found Devin and Tate. So sweet, right! Devin is such a good daddy and loves spending time with his baby boy!! I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful husband that is an amazing dad. Thanks babe for all you do!

I had to record this cause I think it is so funny when Tate fake cries.He doesn't do it alot but when he does it is hilarious. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks this is funny, but oh well. I sure do love our baby boy!

2 Months Old

Today, January 27 2009, Tate is 2 months old. I can't believe how fast the past two months have flown by. I truely am having the best time of my life spending all day with our sweet little boy. I had no idea how much fun motherhood would be and how quickly those motherly instincts really do kick in, thank heavens! I have loved watching him grow and change every day. Things that Tate is doing... sleeping at least 5 hours every night, making eye contact, getting cute rolls on his legs, nibbling on his hands every once in awhile when he can't find his binki, likes the camera but not so fond of the video camera, smiles all the time, talks baby talk with me all day long, and loves to watch the tv. We feel so blessed to have this beautiful and healthy boy in our lives and look forward to the growth and progress that he will make.
Tate and I had so much fun today doing our own mini photo shoot. I wish I had a better camera to take more "professional" pictures. Hopefully some day I'll get one!

The past 2 weeks...

have been heaven on earth with our little bundle of joy!

We love all the facial expressions
