The difference a year makes

 Tate has made such a change this past year going from 2 to 3. We recently celebrated his 3rd birthday and I am just amazed at how much he has changed. Here's a little review

Tate's 2nd birthday

He carried his binki and blanket (aka: gaba) around with him every where he went. He would have fits that lasted forever if we went anywhere with out those two items. (Binki is gone and blanket is no longer a must have)

I loved how he always put his blanket up to his noes.

Tate became an older brother and shows nothing but interest and love to baby Nolan. Sometimes maybe a bit too much  :-)

He's very bubbly and animated.

One of his biggest accomplishments this year has been graduating from diapers to underwear. He has a ton of characters to choose from and was real picky at first but now he's happy to run around with Spider man, Buzz, or Elmo on his bum:-) He went from crib to a big bed also.

He enjoys helping me in the kitchen. Cracking eggs, stirring, and licking spoons are his favorite. He likes making taco soup with me because he knows I use several canned items that he can poor into the pan.

Also he no longer takes naps. Sometimes he gets so wiped out by the end of the day that he has just crashed on the floor waiting for dinner or having a fit about something.

He's grown taller and is a very sturdy boy. We love watching him grow!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Tate!
