Meow

When I was little my mom made me a sleeping bag that looks like a cat. I got it out for Tate and he loves it!

Pizza Hut

It is not often we eat out but tonight we drove the 20+ miles to the Pizza Hut. Tate did great. He even made silly faces at a couple in a booth behind us. We had a play date this morning and Tate had fun!

Cookies

I made a bunch of cookies yesterday. My helper liked to pick out all of the chocolate chips. 

Love

We love this guy so much!  His teacher said he is at or above where he needs to be with his vocabulary. He still does not like to use words to communicate his needs though. For the last two days he has been running back and forth to Brett and me and giving us hugs!  

Art

We did a fun project today. I taped freezer paper to the floor. Tate liked to have his body traced.  

Brrrr

It was a cold day!  I woke up and the outdoor thermometer said -2F. Tate was wide awake most of the night. He did very well with animal names and sounds today. He played peek-a-boo with his hands for the first time. 

Here are some pics that Grandma Joan took at Christmas.

Potty

He is starting to make sentences such as "That is a cow."

He said "This corn is hot" a few nights ago. 

Tate woke up all night long so he was out of it until after a long nap. We did a Pinterest project this morning where we used a dropped to put dyed vinegar into a dish of baking soda. Tate thought it was loads of fun.
