Kindermusik

We went to our first Kindermusik class yesterday.  There were 4 other kids there; 2 others were close to Tate's age and one was just a little baby.  Tate was not interested in the class whatsoever.  He didn't want anything to do with me moving his hands or feet and just wanted to crawl around the room.  All the other kids did great.  Hopefully next week is easier!

His discovered a new trick yesterday as well.  He learned how to pull his truck up next to the coffee table and climb out the window onto the coffee table.  Silly monkey!

1 Year Pics

We got Tate's 1 year pictures taken today. It was a beautiful day. As always, Tate didn't cooperate. He didn't even take 1 bite of cake during his cake smash. Photos to come some day...

Clapped

He did it! Tate started clapping his hands out of the blue at lunch today. Then he clapped them the rest of the day, even while he was trying to drink a bottle. Silly guy! I am so proud of him!

Sick

I am sick.
Brett is sick.
Tate is sick.
This is no fun.
Thank goodness my mom could watch Tate for a couple of hours today so I could take a nap!

He finally played pat-a-cake for me today...but it was with his feet! This lack of clapping has me frustrated.

I took this picture yesterday of my little monkey. He loves to climb.

Trouble

I was trying to get a little work done around the house and Tate was my little helper.  He filled the bowl with toilet paper and then took it out and put it into the trash. 

We had a scary moment yesterday!  I was checking the radar when Tate crawled up to me COVERED in blood.  I figured out it was his finger that was bleeding but when I washed it in the sink the blood kept pouring out of it.  I managed to get a band-aid on the wiggly one who did not want anything to do with being held.  I called Brett and he could not come to the rescue so I called my mom.  He pulled off the first band-aid and was crawling around bleeding everywhere.  I got a second band-aid on.  By the time my mom made it over his finger was looking better and I we knew he didn't need stitches.  I cried and cried!  Another mom fail!  The sight of Tate all covered in blood had be shaken up.  My mom helped with Tate while I cleaned the blood from Tate's toys, the carpet, the kitchen floor, the sink, etc.  I am not prepared for the first real emergency.  :(

Today we had a play date with Tate's friends.  We had a whole house full.  Tate loves playing with other kids and enjoying showing off for one of the girls.  I am glad to have babies around that are his age.

We had an accident a little bit ago.  Tate filled up his diaper and we didn't realize it right away and it just so happens that at that particular moment he thought it was super fun to roll all over the floor.  Yay!  We had poop smeared on the carpet!  Kids are so hard on soft surfaces.

We are finally getting some much needed rain and have been lucky to avoid severe weather so far.  Stay safe!

Shots

I think I forgot to talk about Tate's dr. appointment last week.  He was 25 lb. 7 oz. and was 30 inches long.  He is in the 95% for height and weight.  The doctor thinks he is just being lazy which is why he is not clapping.  I went by myself which meant I got to hold his arms for his shots.  He got 4 shots and cried hard.  After his shots he got his toe pricked to test his iron levels.  I did okay for the shots but I still took us out for lunch and cookies.

Dad's Helper

Last week we helped Brett haul some cattle out to grass.  Tate had a lot of fun!
