Gavin

     This is baby Gavin.  My friend's baby that is just maybe two weeks older than Tate.  This is the picture I sent to Jenna the day before Tate was born saying, "meet Gavin."  They had just left for the river that morning and Jen and I were both convinced that Tate would be born while they were gone so I thought this would be a suitable prank.  Also there was no lying on my part, that is, indeed, Gavin.  He's just not my baby!  Apparently it was a pretty good prank.  Everyone seemed to have bought it for at least a few minutes because dad had called his dad to tell him.  Oops, my bad. :) 

    But, here is a picture of me the day before Tate was born, still very much pregnant!  And still a little happy even because this was right before my doctor's appointment that day, so before the terrible news that I was definitely not having the baby that day and that I had not progressed AT ALL since the week before.


     Little did I know that this sweet boy would be coming to greet us the very next day!  (We sent a picture with me holding the baby in my hospital gown and bed the next day.  Irrefutable evidence.)

So it stands to reason that the best option would be to rip it off himself... And then climb into a bar stool.  Naturally.  Because that's what you do after you change your own bum.

Sweet Tater Bug

     Tate is such a sweetheart!  Here are some of the things he's said to me recently:      He's a sweetheart, yes, but also incredibly difficult.  He doesn't seem to listen.  He has a very hard time following simple orders and we get increasingly frustrated.  We clearly need to learn patience.  The kids were helping Dustin set something up when he got home from work.  He had asked the kids to stop touching certain things and after a few times of repeating himself and kids not listening, he got on Tate's case about it a little more.  Tate then came into the other room and told Baylee, "Sometimes I want to cry but I try really really hard not to and I go away from all my family."  How heartbreaking is that?!  He's my kid that, I thought, let everything roll right off of him.  He was able to easily move on and not get upset when he was in trouble or lovingly reprimanded.  I guess I need to pay more atte...
