Syrup Boy

I think I gave Tate a little too much syrup on his blueberry pancakes!  He was a sticky mess but he sure loved them!  Not too much going on today.  A bonus picture of the rainbow from the other day. 

Road Trip

My mom, a friend, Tate and I went on a road trip to a quilt shop.  One of my former co-workers watched Tate at her house while we shopped.  I found some cute fabric.  Then we ate at the little café where it took FOREVER to get our mediocre food.  Tate missed his morning nap but held it together the best he could.  It finally rained!!  We got 2.7 inches and had a leak in our basement.  The dehumidifier and fans are going so hopefully things will dry out with no damage.

Ornery

Tate was into EVERYTHING yesterday. He figured out how to open the freezer door on the bottom of the refrigerator. He played with the garden hose for the first time and it was too funny watching him try and take a drink. Too bad I didn't have my camera. He did take a 3 hour nap but 2 of those hours I was laying with him. His diaper rash, crabbiness, and diaper explosion tell me he is working on a tooth.

Somersault

I showed Tate how to do a somersault today and he tried very hard to do one but could not figure it out. I found a snake skin in the yard that was about a foot long. I hope to never find the snake! I ran some cucumbers into the fridge and when I got back outside Tate had picked up a kitty and was carrying it around by its back skin. Good thing it isn't much bigger or else Tate would have been in for a rude awakening. Sorry for the poor photos, it was too dark for the iPad.

Vacation

I'm back!  We just got back from a vacation with Brett's family.  We spent 3 nights at a house along Lake of the Ozarks.  It was a fun trip!  We weren't sure how well Tate would travel so we split the drive up on the way there and stayed in KC and went to the zoo.  Tate did pretty well except for sleeping in the pack and play.  Most nights he ended up with me.  Tate is very fond of his cousins and they always play so well with him!  My motion sick prone body survived the curvy Missouri roads and boat ride.  We made the trip home in one day and stopped to see my friend and her new baby!  I am all caught up on laundry and mostly caught up on weeding the garden!

Life

There was a terrible accident near town in which a grandpa and son-in-law both passed away.  Don't forget to live each day as if it were your last because you never know when it actually might be.  With that being said, I LOVE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!  Each and every one of you has a very special place in my heart. 

Tate has ringworm.  I remember why I grew to hate my farm cats when I was little.  I swear if I even looked at a cat I got ringworm.  Bring on the Lotrimin!

Have a wonderful and safe day!!

Monkey

Tate is climbing on EVERYTHING!

Yesterday he pushed the cooler over to the stove and climbed on top of it.  He is also using his little chair to climb onto the couch.  Today he used his new little kitchen chair to stand on top of his new table.  He keeps me BUSY!  He tried to feed his snack to the little kitty sitting outside the kitchen door.  So precious!
