To start off, I realize I have not posted much specifically about Tate, and figured he needs a picture right up front. This one was taken several weeks ago but it shows his sweet smile. Tate is a very happy, sociable little guy. He loves to stare and smile at faces and coo, it's pretty dang adorable.He did go through a colicky period for several weeks and after trying several different things I have cut out most dairy products from my diet and that seems to make a difference. He still has some fussy moments but at least he's not crying non-stop for two plus hours every night!
Two weeks ago Ryan was off of school for spring break. Some of the fun things we did included:
*Having a picnic with some friends at Jordan Lake. The water was freezing but the kids didn't seem to mind (I don't think they feel the cold when there's fun to be had).
*Going to Maple View Farms for some delicious ice cream and a beautiful view (that was before the non-dairy days---I miss ice cream).
*And going up to VA to let the Grandparents play with the kiddies (and so Ryan and I could go on a date one night---thanks Mom and Dad!)
Although Ryan's schedule is pretty relaxed these days and he is home more often, it was still nice to have a week off and we enjoyed getting out and doing some things as a family. We are really trying to enjoy any free time Ryan has since we have heard the Ohio ortho program keeps him VERY busy the first year.
And the final picture is of the wee Tate giving his best double-chin smile while busting out of his PJs, too cute.

He is such a cute kid!!! Both your boys are just so handsome!! Glad you guys had some time to spend together as a family! Looks like you guys had a blast
I was never a big dairy person, but when I also tried going off it because Eli was having weird crying episodes too, I craved it all the time!! So best of luck to you. And you don't have to drive all the way up to VA to have someone babysit ;) We'd be more than happy to do it anytime.
Tate is such a cutie! I love the double chin action he had going on in the last pic.! It sounds like a fun spring break-you guys are such a cute little family!
You guys look like all of you are doing great! In a few pix, you might think its Grant instead of Tate! Looks like they have a lot of similarities. Miss you guys tons!
Tell me the truth, did you drop any icecream on Tate's head? It is okay if you did, I still spill stuff on Charles. Sometimes he likes to hold me while I'm eating.
