Tate's First Christmas

Well, what a first Christmas - - -

Here is the run-down -

Before I get started - the big news is that Amy is having a . . . . . drum roll please . . . . . . . Boy! We are so excited and I can't believe we are 4 for 4 boys on that side of my family. Can you imagine what the holidays will be like with 4 rowdy boys? It is going to be great!

Wed, December 24th

• Wake up @ 3:30 a.m. to a hot, hot, hot baby boy


• Head to the Doctor @ 10:30 - probably a virus


• 1:30 - Madison Bound to Nana and Papa T's where we met up with a sick cousin - Miss McKenzie. Poor kids we had to keep the seperated b/c they were both sick with different symptoms.


• Ran a fever up to 102.5


• Threw up 2 feedings called the doctor again and ordered up Pedialyte


• Opened Christmas presents with The Lambs - Nana, Papa T, Uncle Jason, Aunt Megan, McKenzie, Uncle Steve, and Summer

As close as poor Tate and McKenzie got their whole Christmas visit.

Playing with Uncle Steve

Thurs., Dec. 25th

• Woke up and hung out with the family, then headed down to Warner Robins


Hanging out with Grandma while not feeling so good.





• Still fighting a fever up to 102 again


• Opened presents with Grandma and Paw-Paw - Saw Aunt Amy and Uncle Mike only in passing because we were all trying to safe-guard Amy from Tate until he was fever free for more than 24 hours.
  

Chair from Aunt Amy and Uncle Mike - Tate will sit like a King around the house between this one and his rocker.



• Headed to Mimi and Pop's house for more presents - man Tate must have been good this year!
• Ran a fever up to 103, called the doctor again and this time we found out we could alternate between Tylenol and Motrin every 3 hours

Fri., Dec. 26th

• Fever Broke!!!!!!!!! We were so thankful!
• Sat in our PJs all day to make sure our little man stayed healthy

So in a nutshell nothing was as we had anticipated, but it was great to visit with our family. It seemed odd missing out on church this year with Tate so sick. I hope we can start more of our traditions next year and maybe he will be able to understand a little more about it all too.
