El Capitan

So last week we went camping at El Capitan Beach in Santa Barbra. It was such a great week. The weather was great and the sun was always shine at the beach. I even went in and boggie boarded:) Tate was dirty most of the time from the dirt at our camp site but I got over it after the first 30 mins of being their. Tate loves the beach and just rommed around and enjoyed all the other kids to watch. He loves the water and loved playing in the water whole the kids made. Best time of year to go beach camping for sure. We had the beach to ourselves and the campgrounds too. Hate over crowded bathroom at campground so it was nice. So here are some pictures.

Tate Turned ONE!

So Tate turned ONE at the beginning of the month. Its been a little bit of a crazy month but I need to blog about my baby boy growing up. Its been too long since I have blogged. So we didn't really have an official b-day party for him but I felt like we celebrated enough. We did a one year photo shoot for him where I made him an oversized cupcake and he got to eat it. He got frozen yogurt the day of his b-day, and we went to Wokcano's to celebrate all the Oct b-day in the family and we sang to them.

So some of the things Tate likes to do these days: walk around and explore everything, eat lots of food all the time, take two good naps a day, loves to play with any type of water, try to talk all day long, gets into everything and makes a big mess, loves to be outside and play with rocks, and he loves to watch Baby Einstein still.

So I will have to say I am loving this stage so much more than the infant/new born stage. He just wasn't a happy infant and now he is. Now he does everything I expected him to do like laugh, smile, play on his own, sleep through the night, cry it out sometimes for naps, chill in his carseat, enjoy walks, and play with others. He didn't do like any of these things as an infant. So glad to be his mom and that I get to watch him grow each day. I love that I know him best and I can always tell what he needs (most of the time). It is very fulfilling. Happy B-day TATE! Hope you have a great healthy year.
