November updates

Wow. I've totally been slacking! So let's see... what's new?

Well, Tate is now walking! Craziness!!! He just stood up Friday and off he went.

This is what we've been working towards for so long now. Our main goal. We've done physical therapy for 6-7 months and he's gone from not even sitting by himself to walking. He's such a big boy now and it kinda makes me sad.  Obviously, I want him to continue to progress and this is an awesome step for him. But at the same time, it makes me sad that he's definitely moved into "toddlerhood" now. Just trying to focus on the fun parts and not have a pity party for my baby getting older.

Here's a few pics from this weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Wahlquist's house...

 

In other news, Tate's Great Great Grandma Metcalf, who is 95 years old, is coming to Kansas City tomorrow! She will be staying with my parents for a couple of weeks and Tate will get to see her for 2 whole weekends. We are so blessed to have her in our lives. It was my greatest desire to have her live long enough to meet my children. We've gotten several 5 generation photos and every picture of her with Tate is absolutely priceless.

Looking forward to a weekend in Wichita starting this Friday afternoon. One of my best friends from college, Nicole Adkisson, is getting married! I'm a bridesmaid so AJ and I are heading to Wichita for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner Friday and then a beautiful wedding on Saturday. And, Tate won't be going so it's a wonderful excuse to spend a few days just the two of us!

Getting excited for the upcoming holidays. We're celebrating Thanksgiving in KC next weekend (18th) and then Thanksgiving in West Plains on Thanksgiving. Saturday, 26th, is my 27th birthday and then we're in full Christmas prep! I've already started Tate's Christmas list and need to get a move on my shopping. I plan on going Christmas-decoration-crazy this year so that Tate gets the full effect!

And last, I've discovered the joy of pinterest. Super cute craft ideas and yummy looking recipes. :)

There are no more new pics because Tate has stolen the camera cord and hidden it somewhere. So you'll just have to use your imagination and hope that we find the cord soon. :)
