Smile!

Hope you all have been enjoying the beautiful spring weather!!! It's been wonderful here in Madison; Tate, Zoey and I love our daily ventures around the neighborhood. Tate is now 7 weeks old!!! How time flies. Here are more photos from recent weeks:

Zoey does not like it when Tate cries and tries to help out with her "calming" presence or a few licks to his face (much to Mom & Dad's dismay):

Tate rocking out his new Baby Legs (these are apparently all the rage right now). They're still a bit big:

This Baby Bjorn has been a lifesaver! Now all I have to do is put Tate in it and he instantly calms down and soon drifts off for a nap. Thanks Aunt Corry and Uncle Dave!

Tate loves the mohawk look:

HI MOM!!! I cannot get over his scrawny little arms and legs, too cute!

Snuggling is Tate's favorite pastime:

"You might think I'm sleeping, but I've always got one eye open, Mom..." (sorry this is underlined, sometimes the blog gets a mind of its own)

Apparently Tate prefers to sleep leaning to his right... his neck is always wrenched over in his carseat and Bjorn, not matter how many times Mom tries to straighten him out:

At 6 weeks we switched Tate over to cloth diapers. At first I was really intimidated by the thought of it, but we went to this awesome diaper store and once we looked at the various cloth "systems", we saw how easy it was and how much money we'd save not buying disposable diapers. Plus we feel better about not filling up the landfills ;) Some of you were curious about it so I posted a couple photos. In this first one, you can see the cute outer shell that has adjustable button snaps so it will grow with Tate (up to 35 lbs!). You just snap in a clean cloth insert each time you change him. They have either nice velcro straps or more button snaps to fasten them in place instead of the sticky tabs disposable diapers have.

Here's the cool diaper sprayer Kenny and his dad installed on the toilet to spray down the really poopy ones before washing them:

This video catches a couple smiles and Tate "talking" to Mommy:

Best wishes and God Bless you all in this Easter season ;)
