Our Growing Boy

Tate has been growing and changing sooo fast! 

Maybe I'm a mean mom, but I think it is so cute when Tate starts to cry.  His facial expressions are so funny

Happy to sleep in with Dad

Recently, Tate has been smiling at us.  He smiles and coos for about a half hour every morning.  It is so cute, especially when he gurgles and coos

more smiles and coos

Yesterday we blessed Tate.  Some of my family came

Almost all of Colby's family was there too

The four kids all born with in a year--sabras trying to hide the fourth one--- I can't wait for them to play together, they will be such good friends

Colby gave Tate a sweet blessing.  It was a special experience for us.  I am so grateful to have married Colby, and that he presides over our family in love and righteousness, and is worthy to hold the preisthood to bless our family.  I was talking to a freind in our ward during releif society- I know naughty, we should have been listening to the  whole lesson, noy just parts of it...- and she pointed out to me that not everyone had been married in the temple(our lesson was on temple marriage), and  there were a few husbands that were inactive and the wives came to church alone.  My heart just broke for those girls because I had just witnessed again how we have been so blessed for being active in the church and married in the temple, and these girls didn't have that, and I know they want it so bad.  It just made me realize how blessed we are, and made me remember to be more grateful for it. 

After holding Tate, my dad, mom, and Colby all complained that their arms were dead and hurt because Tate weighed so much.  So after church, we weighed him and he now at 6 weeks, weighs 11.8 pounds.

so sweet!
