Preston Tate what a busy busy month you've had!
You went with Daddy and I to close on the first home we've owned together and the first home you will remember as your own. You were such a trooper while I was packing up our entire house for the big move! You LOVE to be held 24-7 and most days this works just fine for us but not so much when mommy needs to be productive. Aunt Sharon was a huge help and came over to hold you ALL day while I finished packing! Mason and Uncle came over that evening and helped me finish packing and loaded the car. Nana met us at the new house to hold you while Daddy, Pop and I unloaded all the furniture and boxes.
May 12th was Mother's Day... My first Mother's Day to be exact! Oh how I love love love being your mommy! You are so sweet, cuddly, and happy! Daddy helped you and the circus make my day so special! He put together a slide show of our pictures together, complete with our songs, flowers and a great breakfast! Way to go Daddy!
May 18th was Daddy's Med School graduation! I can't put into words how proud of him I am! He has worked so hard for this and it has finally paid off!
All of our family and friends came to celebrate! They are so amazing to always go where we need them! Aunt Cat and Uncle Kev were going to watch you during the graduation ceremony but dad decided last minute that he wanted you to be there for his big moment! You did so great for a little guy but about 15 minutes into the ceremony you were not loving waiting in the auditorium for him to cross the stage so Melissa took you out and held you the entire time while you slept.
After the ceremony we gathered at MawMaw and Pops house for dinner with our closest friends and family!
Then Nana and Auntie stayed behind at the hotel to keep you so we could go out with everyone. They said you did so great and fell asleep with no trouble!
Last weekend was Memorial Day weekend and your 2month birthday! We went to the lake with Boss and Auntie then to Abilene to visit Nana.
You HATE your car seat something fierce! You act like it is burning your skin off every time you have to ride in it... It makes me so sad and I wish that I could fix it! We are hoping the more you are in it the more you will tolerate it... Mommy likes to be on the go!
We still have tons of unpacking to do because I can never put you down but I feel sure it'll get done sometime before your first birthday at least haha!
You are now 10lbs and 22" long! You are still a great eater and wake up at least once a night to nurse. You slept from 1am- 6:30am, nursed and went back to sleep until 8:30am the other night!!! Mommy was so grateful for the good sleep we both got! You are still sleeping in the nap nanny in the middle of our bed but we are going to attempt to move you back to your pack n play soon. You don't like naps, I don't know how such a tiny boy can go so long without sleep but you do it and most of the time you're pretty happy about it. If you do fall asleep during the day you will sleep for hours in someone's arms but never want to be put down or you wake up immediately. I'm getting the hang of this mommy thing more and more each day. I'm still over paranoid about most everything you can think of and ask Daddy every other day if you have fever, sound congested, or any other thing that might concern me at the time. Hahaha thanks for hanging in there with me lil guy!
I love you to the moon and back sweet boy!
