Tate is 6 months now which is crazy. I still feel like I just had him not that long ago. Guess its time to get my but into shape and stop making excuses for myself, my baby is 6 months now! Tate is doing so much better in his carseat. Car ride and enjoyable again, yay! Tate went swimming for the first time a couple weekends ago and he just loved it. He just learned to splash in the bath tub a couple night Before that, so he was splashing up a storm in the hot tub. We took him in my parents big tub one time but this time he got to go swimming with a bunch of his cousins. We loved it and he didn't mind all the other kids splashing and making lots of noise. He actually loves the entertainment. He just started to roll over a couple days ago consistently. The other morning I got him out of his crib and he was on his tummy. I am glad he is rolling over I felt like it took a long time but k ow he is just all over the place. he loves to stand up and hold on to things. He also loves to walk around. I will hold his arms up and he will start walking around fhe room to a toy he want or something. when he is on his tummy he rotates around in a circle. He might be crawling soon or he could skip the crawling and just start walking, haha. He has started this new "hammer fight" thing as Norris calls it. He grabs both hands together and bring it to his mouth and back down. He will do it over and over again. It's pretty cute. He is sleeping in his crib for naps now and i am super excited about it. Some days he gots down easy and others he doesn't at all. It's a hit or miss. He also has learned how to shake things. He will grab a toy and throw his hand up in the air and back down again. He hits himself in the face all the time now. HE will do it with or without a toy. Especially when feeding he squirms and wiggle and throws his arms everywhere. He is a wild child. He need entertainment all the time and he is smart too. Still love outside and the water. Oh he love to watch the cars drive by. He could do it for hours. Tate still wakes up 2-3 time (sometimes more) to eat at night. Oh I can't wait for the day when he sleep all through the night. When Tate was 2 months old he slept through the night for a good month to a month and a half then teething kicked in by three months and no more sleeping through the night. He just wake up out of habit I think. I just feed him b/c it's fast, easy, and less crying. We all get more sleep if I just feed him. I seriously need to sleep train him though. We I get my husband back and the house is all done then I will. Tate went to the beach the other day and he is so funny. He wanted to sit on the sand so I let him and he starts to grab the sand and run it through his fingers for a while than he bends over and tries to eat it. I keep pulling him back so he doesn't eat it but he is so persistent that I just thought what the heck. Let him try it, he will realize its gross to eat. Haha not the case he didn't care at all. He loved it. He just played in the sand and tried to bite the it every once in a while. I took him down to the water and he was just stomping away in the wet sand. He is going to love the beach just like his parents. Tate just stared teething again. He get pretty fussy for a couple days striaght and has a hard time taking naps throughout the day. When he eats he swallows a ton of air b/c his mouth hurt and he can't suck very good or efficiently. He also get a pretty upset tummy a d just wants to be held by mom all day long. He spits up and has different poops. He had a hard time sleep at night as well and doesn't take his binki very well. He also get a stuff noise and talks a lot plus grunting a ton. Poor guy teething is hard for him. I try all types of things to help him like oils, teething tablets, wet rags, the nuby, chew toys, cuddling, and feeding more often. Things work better then other at different times. We just get through it the best we can. I wonder which teeth he his working on and will pop up next. Oh Tate got to hang out with his buddy Jaden Jensen the other day and it was fun. He also gets to me his 10 days apart buddy, Dax Lee, in a couple of days. Exciting! Tate started eating baby food. About a week ago I started feeding him brown rice cereal and he got the hang of it after 2 or 3 times. So last night I just gave him homemade carrot mush. Yummy! He seemed to do good with it. Next is sweet potatoes after a couple more nights of carrots.
House update: should be done by the beginning of May. It's been a long process and a ton of work but it will be worth it and its going to look amazing/ brand new.
