4 Months

Its amazing to me how fast my little baby has grown! We went to dr. k's office and got little Tater bug all checked and his stats were: 64% for weight (15.5 lbs), 26% for height, and 6% in head size.  Even though he may be tiny to some, to me he is huge! Crue was never as chubby as Tate...and I love it! I LOVE his chubby thighs and arms.  He's such a fun little guy too.  He goo's and talks up a storm and his eyes light up when he smiles.  Unlike Crue he hardly ever has grumpy old man face, loves to snuggle and watch his older brother play with the dogs.  The other night Mike was holding Tate and I was on the floor playing with Crue and the dogs.  As soon as Tate looked over at us he started laughing! It was so sweet! He is constantly watching Crue, unfortunately Crue doesn't like to play with him.  The most interaction they have had is when Tate was sitting in the walker and Crue started playing with the toys on the walker. Oh yeah, and when Crue steals his binkie or we force Crue to get close enough to take a pic of the two together. Tate is also getting his first tooth and it's been really hard on all of us.  Thank goodness we discovered these natural teething tablets when Crue was little and they work like a charm!
The other night a friend asked me if Tate was rolling over yet or sitting up on his own or eating solid food....and the answer to all of those questions is no.  I probably baby this kid waaayyy to much but he's my baby and he can pretty much do whatever he wants, when he wants :)

These rings are his favorite toy

This is about as much effort as he puts forth in rolling over (lifting his head) and it only lasts about 2 seconds before....

this happens and the screaming starts

 kangaroo zoo with jayda

 this is crue's favorite slide at kangaroo zoo and of course he can't climb up it himself so we, and by we I really mean I because mikes too big to go on it, have to take him up it every time

 for some reason whenever we are at papa george's he has to sit in this basket

 watching pooh with pooh

 riding the train at southtowne mall

 he will only dip one finger in at a time because he hates the paint all over his hands

 he wedges himself between our bed and the footboard and always gets stuck so we have to help him out, but it's his favorite spot to watch tv in the morning

 he's obsessed with his church shoes and is always putting them on

Blessing Day

Once again Mike did an amazing job giving the blessing. Lucky for me this time some lady in the ward who does short hand wrote it all down for me so I can read it whenever I want! I just wish I had Crues now :( Anyway it was such a great day and I couldn't love my little family more.

Thanksgiving, Crue's bday and Christmas pics

I'm lazy and don't feel like writing a lot so... we had great time in St. George for thanksgiving, a fun family bday party for Crue boo, and an amazing Christmas :) Enjoy the pics!

Thanksgiving with the Morrells in St. George:

 He would not hold still for even a second so I could get a good pic with him...little monster...

We went to see the lights at the temple with friends who also happened to be in St. George, and of course the boys fell asleep on our way there.

When Crue woke up he climbed up the stairs to the temple and knocked on the door. I couldn't get him to stop so I finally told him no one was home...it was pretty funny.

Crues birthday:

Christmas:

I love Tate in this picture...it totally shows his personality...he just likes to chill.

 He loves the shaving kit aunt katy gave him for Christmas and had to get in the tub and use it right away.  The newness hasn't worn off either, he still shaves when he gets in the tub.
