OH HOW I LOVE THIS FACE!

And the funny sweet personality that accompanies it.

TATE AT 16 MONTHS OLD

Tate has been under the weather for the past 10 days. A few day with fevers hitting 104 degrees and the rest of the days 100.4 degrees. Even though she has been miserable, she still has been an amazingly pleasant baby!

I decided to take Tate to the doctor today... Poor baby, Tate has strep throat!

Tate does not get too many sweets so when she does, I let her totally get into it.... She loved her first peppermint candy cane so much she offered Mesa a taste and lost the whole piece of peppermint to one ill mannered dog!



I really think Tate will be a little dancer. She loves music and will sing and dance constantly. She is also quite flexible.



At sixteen months Tate has started to feed herself. It seems that she wears more of the food than she will eat.

Tatie loves her room and her books..... She will disappear only to be found sitting in her comfy chair with a few books.

The love affair continues with E.L.M.O.... I find myself humming the Elmo's World song ALL THE TIME!

ANNOUNCING TATE IS NOW A WALKER!!! She would prefer to be carried but will walk if she needs to.

A QUICK GLIMPSE OF CHRISTMAS.....

Two of Tate's favorite things.... Her Nana and Elmo. She is obsessed with both!



Santa gave Tate this Tree House tent. She loves it!

Tate was sick with a 104 degree temperature and spent most of her time snuggling with me or sleeping. This lasted for about a week. Today she is feeling like her adorable self and is ready to parteeee to make up for all her missed Christmas celebration.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Wishing the MERRIEST Christmas ever and a bright shiny 2010!!!

SITTING ON SANTA'S LAP FOR THE FIRST TIME

Through the windowpane we spy Santa.... I am watching safely in my big cousin Amanda's arms.



Checking out this man in red.



Okay momma, I will pose with Santa with NO tears but will not SMILE!

WHAT DOES SANTA SAY?

HO HO HO!!!




A little out of focus but LOVE it anyway!
