Year Of Tate: Day 13

January 13, 2014

Today was full of lots of fake crying.  I was hoping to get his fake sad face in a picture but it just looks like a real sad face.  I'm not a bad mom.  Pictures are just bad at conveying how incredibly fake this crying is.

Year of Tate: Day 10

January 10, 2014

Things we've learned in the first 10 days of the year:

1. Tate hates pants
2. His favorite things to eat are not food
3. I let him sit WAY too close to the TV

Year of Tate: Day 9

January 9, 2014

Tate refused to wear pants today.  Whatever.  We just hung out at home and Tate was super ornery all day so we watched a lot of "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" and cuddled.

Year of Tate: Day 8

January 8, 2014

Eating lunch off the floor because (1) I'm washing the seat of his highchair and (2) let's be honest...all of his food ends up on the floor anyway.

And I realize that half of these Year of Tate posts involve eating.  Eating takes up about half of our day so I guess it makes sense.

Also, he enjoys wearing one shoe lately...no idea.

My New Obsession

I have heard of Dirty Diet Coke for a while now but haven't tried it until recently.  Oh my word.  So obsessed right now. I just do Dirty Coke though because diet is disgusting and we all need a little more sugar in our diets especially right after we all make resolutions to lose weight and eat better.  (side note: Dirty Coke is a horrible name.  I need a new name for it but I'm too lazy and just going to stay with it for now.)

What has made the obsession even more intense?  I recently found that the gas station has coconut syrup.  Oh man.  I really need to just buy myself some of this delicious syrup but I'd probably have 24 dirty cokes in one day and need to go buy more syrup...or I'd just die after a diabetic coma.  One of the two.

I think Coke should make a Coconut Lime Coke except I know it would be horrible just like "Cherry" Coke made with syrup is not nearly as good as regular Cherry Coke.  But what if it's not? 

Dear Coca Cola,
I would totally be the taste tester and help you get it just right.
Love,
Ash H.

End of rambling and back to my baby.

First ice cream cone at Grandma's birthday.

 This ice cream cone was also all he ate for "dinner."  Dang you, Grandma and 3 molars coming in!

 Tate playing his favorite game...Dump All the Things Out!

In addition to the Year of Tate post I'm also going to write things I've said this week that I thought would never come out of my mouth.

"Stop planking and just stand up!"
"We don't play with plungers."

Year of Tate: Day 2

January 2, 2014

Tate loves pulling all my clothes of their hangers.  Today he discovered that he can move the clothes aside and hide behind them.  This was followed quickly by pulling as many clothes of their hangers as he could grab.

Year of Tate: Day 1

I'm horrible at blogging.  It's just not a top priority and also I'm pretty sure my husband is the only one who still reads this thing...whatever.

With the new year I'm going to try a new blogging endeavor....I'm calling it A Year of Tate.  My thinking behind this is that it will make me take at least one picture a day and it will be fun to look back on how he changes.

So, here we go.

A Year of Tate: January 1, 2014

Tate insists that he feed himself yogurt now.  He gets about half of the yogurt in his mouth.
