Tate: 3 Months

13 lbs. 12 oz.
Tate is the sweetest little baby.  I call him 'Sweet Tate'.  I love his chubby cheeks and could kiss them all day.  He has the cutest and biggest smiles and coos.

He discovered his hands and loves sucking on them.

His dark hair is falling out and strawberry blonde hair is growing in.

He doesn't like having a dirty diaper and will let you know about it.  This is funny to me since Kensie didn't seem to mind much as a baby.

He sticks his little tongue out when he smiles and interacts.

He doesn't like going in the car and cries a lot.  This is so bizarre to me after having Kensie who loved going for car rides.

He is content to lay on the floor, in the bouncer, in the swing, etc.  Even when he is hungry or tired his cries aren't very loud or demanding (complete opposite of Kensie).  He is so patient to wait while I help his big sister with her many demands.

He still gets fussy at night.  Usually around 7 p.m. or so until 8:30 or 9 p.m.  It's his 'witching hour'.  He won't fall asleep (even after nursing) and only wants to be held.  Otherwise he just cries.  I finally get him to calm down and go to sleep between 8 & 9 p.m.

After his feeding between 9:15-10:15 p.m. he will usually conk out for the night.  He still wakes up once a night, usually between 3-5 a.m., eats, and goes back to sleep.  Sometimes he'll still wake up twice.  Then he usually wakes between 7:15 and 8 a.m.

He loves watching his big sister and already seems to adore her.  He gives her big smiles and puts up with a lot from her.  He gets poked, prodded, bear hugged, etc. and is such a good sport about it.  Sometimes he looks at me with a look of, "help! save me from my big sister!"

He got his first cold/cough when he was 11 weeks old and slept horribly day and night.

He fits best in 6-9 month clothes and is chubby as ever.
