Ryan, Lindsay and Tate: Crawling, Standing, Walking...

I haven't blogged in over 3 months! Tate has had SO many milestones and I am so sad that I didn't blog them as they went. Now they are all going to be lumped together. I will try to remember dates as well as possible. Well, Tate started crawling right before he turned 9 months. He has just been everywhere since then. He started pulling to stand and walking on furniture a week or two after crawling. Then at 11 and a half months, he started walking. He is constantly on the move and is sweeter than ever! I will try to illustrate his sweetness with pics to help me remember when things happened exactly.

Some of the things that pictures won't illustrate are:

-He has babbled dada since 6 months, but at about 10 months he knew who dada was.
-He babbled mama at 10 months. He knows who mama is, but still doesn't refer to me as mama hardly ever.
-He started pointing at what he wanted at 9 months and hasn't stopped since.
-The first thing he does when he wakes us in the morning is say "what's that" and points to all his favorite things, hoping you'll take him to them.
-He has discovered that he can manipulate lights and he is obsessed! We always know when he's been in our room because both of our lamps by our bed have a pull string and they will be turned on. hahaha! Love him!
-He thinks the toilet is the worlds best drum
-He says "Whoa" to everything he thinks is cool.
-He will only whisper "what's that" and "whoa"....it's the funniest thing.
-He can play peek-a-boo behind the coffee table now.
-He LOVES mommy and daddy to take him around to play hide and seek. He laughs so hard when he finds one of us.
-He dances ANY time he hears music...absolutely adorable.
-His first word that he said with recognition was baba....go figure. Our boy has always been an eater! =)
-He is very easy going when it comes to going to other people and being social. He is a happy little thing and just likes to be around people.
-He has been waving since about 9 months.
-He says "ah da" (all done) and "uh oh"
-He says "ball"
-He dives face first into anything that is soft. He still loves to snuggle into blankets when he sleeps.
I'm sure there are a million other things I will remember later. Here are some pics from the last few months. Enjoy!

He's a crawling boy...
