Thorin Tate is 8 months old - as of 11.12.09!!!

First of all it's still hard for me to believe that I even have kids...that I'm a MOM!!! And then to hear myself say that our second son is 8 months old already just blows my mind!!! I love it!!!

Thorin is a complete doll!!! His smile is totally contagious! People can't help but smile when they look at him! He has such a sweet disposition! He is truly living up to his name -- Tate means Cheerful!!

He is now crawling on his hands and knees!
His 3rd and 4th teeth are coming in!
He is just starting to pull himself up to stand!
He has been sleeping through the night for the most part.
He eats a ton and has loved everything I have given him so far!
He can sit himself up half way and will sit for a bit when I sit him up before falling backwards : )


Brother lovin'!!!
Sterling calls him 'baba' (for brother) or TT (as he still can't pronounce Thorin and he just chooses to shorten Tate : ).
I absolutely love watching them interact!!! They get such a kick out of each other!

Well...there were a couple videos that I really wanted to add to this post but alas both of them have failed to upload : /

Tanya and Tim,
Received your Christmas photo/card in the mail today and was overjoyed to hear from you. I was not aware of your blog so quickly got online to check it out. The boys are just precious. How wonderful to see and hear them in their daily activities. Your family must treasure this technology. Thank you for including us in the loop. Susan Woodward
