Tot is a boy who loves his food. He'll watch the food from your plate travel to your mouth and try to lean in to get it. At a wedding reception when he was only 5 months old he grabbed a meatball off of Daddy's plate and got it almost to his mouth before getting caught. I confess that I usually hide back in the bedroom at the computer desk to eat my breakfast and lunch because even if I just stuffed him to his gills he will grunt and demand, even yell for my food. He got a bag of mini dumdum lollipops in his Christmas stocking and one of those will keep him very happy while running errands. Tot loves to reach out his food to you like he's going to share but then he snatches it away and laughs. In the last photo he is proudly showing off one of his most favorites - a french fry - but you can't see it because it's trapped in his fist!
Out boys are so close to the same age. Cooper is only a week or so younger than Tate. He is the same way with food. He thinks every bite is meant for him. I haven't tried suckers yet. I bet he will love those too.
Thanks for the message on my blog. It has been along time since we have seen eachother. And I would love to talk to your sister (was it?) about the food allergies. I still need help finding and makeing food that Corbin can eat. We have the milk and eggs down but now we are supposed to cut out all cane sugar and artificial colors. That is a big one. Everything has one of those. So ya hook us up. Maybe I'll just check out her blog. Well see ya.
Tracy, Amber, TMac and Tot - We love to travel all over Southern California and Western Arizona and we really enjoy playing at our spot on the Colorado River in Blythe, CA. We also visit Parker and Lake Havasu, AZ while at the river. Most of our pictures will be of us hanging out with family and friends at the river, Disneyland, Sea World, beach, parties and activities because we LOVE to PLAY!
Tracy keeps busy working every minute that isn't Sunday and we appreciate his awesome work ethic! He is a contractor/plumber and runs a company with his brother. When he gets precious free time you can find him with the family on a boat, jet ski or playing with his guns. While doing paperwork at home he likes to watch old Western movies. He also volunteers as a leader in our church's local Cub Scout troop. He can fix absolutely anything which is a huge blessing. He can also find anything anyone would be looking for and he gets calls all of the time from family and friends asking where to find things or how to get them fixed.
Amber is a former elementary school teacher who loves being the stay at home, lazy CEO of our family. She hardly ever deserves free time because she procrastinates all of her home chores but she does enjoy taking the boys on outings, trips and play dates all over the West coast, keeping in touch with friends and family via phone and email, reading books, taking tons of photos and scrapbooking. She also works with the local Cub Scouts. She used to be great at playing the flute, piano, singing and speaking Spanish but she really needs to practice!

One of the many reasons why I haven't been blogging. There are just too many great places to go to around here!
That's my little Hate, I mean Tate! :) I love him!
