 "Tate is almost smiling. You can tell by his eyes that he is enjoying himself, and smiles should be here in a just a few more days.")
 "Tess wanted to give Baby Tate a kiss. And a stuffy nose.")
 "Supposedly Tate was doing those gassy \"smiles\" and Aubrey tried to catch him in the act.")
 "It's not as easy as you might think to take a picture of a gassy smile.")
 "I guess the flash bulb is disturbing his slumber.")
 "He really has gotten so close to smiling already.")
 "What a cutie.")
 "Having a nap with Grandpa.")
 "He is such a handsome little guy.")
 "Tate and Grandma.")
 "Yep...so cute.")
 "What a sweet baby boy.")
 "We are so glad that he isn't as yellow as his siblings were.")
 "Tate and Grandma.")
 "Just hangin out.")
 "Tate and Grandpa.")
 "Such a cute little baby face.")
 "He's already gotten really close to smiling.")
 "Dang fingers keep going right past his mouth.")
 "Hey look at my tongue!")
 "He really likes to have his hands close to his face.")
 "He's just so dang cute!")
 "What a fascinating blanket!")
 "Tate actually sleeps while laying down. It took Tess months to figure that out.")
 "Tess is \"holding\" her brother, who is \"so cutie,\" if you ask her.")
 "Tate is giving his Mickey Mouse ears a little tryout. It says on the cap that it is infant-sized, but I guess Tate is one very small infant.")
 "Tate was very awake for a while.")
 "Time to get him dressed to go home.")
 "Everything is so big on him.")
 "All dressed and ready to go.")
 "He's letting us know what he thinks of his first outfit.")
 "What a little baby.")
 "We moved the blanket so you could see how little he is in that giant infant-sized car seat.")
 "Tate Brigham Crookston was born at 4:00 PM on the 18th of January.")
 "Tate's feeling a little camera shy here. He'd better get over it.")
 "Tate is making his footprints.")
 "This is the first chance that Aubrey got to hold her little sweet baby.")
 "He's such a handsome kid. He weighs 6 pounds 13 ounces.")
 "I think he's feeling a bit suspicious of this whole being born thing.")
 "I kept taking pictures when his eyes were closed. Bad luck I guess.")
 "He's a very smart baby. I can say that because I'm his dad. And it's true.")
 "Aubrey loves her littlest baby.")
 "He's giving me the once over. I guess he's trying to figure out if I'm okay or not.")
 "The nurse that caught this quick baby took a quick family picture. Minus the other two of course, but they'll be in pictures later.")
 "He started to make a sad face. I made one back at him.")
 "Tate's head is something inches around. 13 or so. 13 and a half?")
 "Getting ready to see how long he is. He really liked the warming lamp.")
 "20 3/4\" long. Almost as long as Noah, and a bit longer than Tess.")
 "He loved getting his hair shampooed. It practically put him to sleep, though he did have a hard day.")
 "Our blond little boy. He has lots more hair than Noah did, though I'm sure he'll be bald soon enough.")
 "Noah was absolutely thrilled to meet Baby Tate.")
 "Noah kept trying to make him smile by saying silly things and making funny noises.")
 "Noah is so excited to share his bedroom with his little brother.")
 "Our attempt at a family picture. Tess wants nothing to do with the whole thing.")
 "How cute is he?")
 "Yes, it's a boy! But in other news, check out that cute baby butt!")
 "Looks like our little Tater Baby is going to have feet like Daddy and Noah.")
