BABY TATE

          So its been a while but i have been a little busy. I had baby Tate on Oct 1st at 9:40AM. He was 20 inch long and weighed 6 lb 7 oz. Tiny little guy. I will talk about delivery later but for now I want to write about how cute and big Tate is getting. Tate is 7 weeks old this coming Monday. He is a little easier to handle now that he is bigger. It was hard to feed him and burp him b/c he was just so tiny and fragile. Now he is stronger and easier to handle. He has smiled a couple of times but nothing really consistent. He loves loves loves to look at his dad. He stares at him all the time and as for me I can hardly get Tate's attention. He has a couple of different cries that make Norris and i laugh. He has the pouter cry, the ticked off cry, and the complaining cry. The pouter cry is like when you arent paying attention to him and he is board. The ticked off cry is when he is in his car-seat and wants out or has a tummy ache. And the complaining cry is when I take him away from feeding to burp him and its like a high pitched cry. Haha
         He has so much personality already, its crazy. He hates to be cold. He doesnt like me putting on lotion, diaper changes, being naked or uncovered, cold hands, being wet all b/c these things consist of him being cold. He does love warm baths and just sit there content. He loves being swaddled with one arm in and one arm out. He loves to snuggle snuggle snuggle and sleeping on mom and dad. He loves to have his hand by his face and when he sleeps he covers his face. He loves when we are moving him around. He gets board easily so he loves his bouncer chair, swing, or anyone rocking him. He kicks his feet on my stomach when i bounce him and it is the cutest thing ever.
          He sleeps good at night, normally feeds at 11pm, 2 am, and 5am. I know those aren't good long hours stretches but at least he goes back to sleep after feeding most of the time. That is more then i can say for the day. Tate is up lots during the day and doesnt sleep as good or long. He eats every three hours during the day but he is up for a good while and takes little naps here and there. We play and try to keep his busy so he doesnt cry. I dont really get much done during the day especially if he dosent sleep good. Ill have time to go to the bathroom, wash my face and change and then he is crying again needing his mom.

Here are some New Born pictures:

                         See what I am talking about. Tate LOVES looking at this dad :) So precious 

                                        So tiny and new to the world. Sent straight from heaven!

         I love my Tate!!! I love to snuggle him, I let him sleep on me all the time and I give his tons of kisses. He is just the cutest little boy ever.
