Can't believe he's ONE!!!

Elle helping Tate with his gift..

Gymboree gifts from best friend Elle! (He'll pay her back with dinner and a movie in about 18 years.. or 30 if you ask Bryce, right Tara!?)

Tate's birthday onesie!

Tate turned one years old today! I can't believe that I no longer have a tiny baby, sometimes I swear I still feel like I have a newborn until I see someone else with an actual newborn and it snaps me back to reality!
Tate is the funnest little guy. He says "mama" (constantly), "dada" and "buh-buh" (bye). He is all smiles and is the wiggliest kid on the face of the planet. I still look around at other kids at church that are his age and they are just sitting on their mom's laps!? Will. never. happen.
Another sunny Alaska day- so we went swimming!! I spent the morning making a birthday onesie for Tate (still having fun with the embroidery machine) and made some cupcakes so he can devour his very own after dinner. Tara brought over his best friend, Elle, and they had so much fun together!
Not much else has been going on. I ran another 12k after much prodding from my little sister, last Friday. I got sick to my stomach and had to walk between mile 4 and 5. Sad. Guess I can't take a month off from running after all? Not to mention the big dinner I had a couple of hours before... whoops. (What was I supposed to do, my husband took me to the best Italian restaurant?!)
We also have decided to rent instead of build this season. I know, we are crazy and change our minds everyday!! But we are moving into the townhouse July 1st, we have finally made up our mind for sure. We just don't feel good about building right now. So, that's that.
Anyways, Happy Birthday little guy, we love you!!!
