Off to the dump it goes

Not much has been happening lately, just Tate's 15 month appointment. He's 21.9 lbs (10%) and 31 inches (50%). I can't find any pants to fit his skinny waist and long legs, they're all floody on him. Jord and I have the opposite problem....
And also this happened:
You can't see that great in this picture but this was my mirror...and it's now shattered. Tate pulled it over on top of himself this morning, and it broke on him. Surprisingly it didn't cut him at all, he must have a rock solid head.

Hallelujah!

A few weeks ago Tate finally decided to start walking. It's been driving me crazy because he was taking steps back in August, but refused to do more and preferred crawling instead coz he was really fast. He's so freakin stubborn, I think he didn't walk out of spite because I wanted him to so bad....I see a difficult adolescence ahead....
So finally on September 29th, at 14 months, he officially began walking. Praise the lord.
