Taterbug

Aunt Rach and Cousin Tate's recent visit was a blast. Each time we see Tate, the three cousins have more and more fun together.

At almost two years old, Tate loves to be around other kids, and will eagerly run, jump, climb, slide, giggle, read, nap, splash, bathe and eat right along side Ryan and Lucie. He was especially interested in everything Lucie was doing, to the point where we started calling him Lucie's sidekick. Lucie loved looking after him, and could often be seen reaching out her hand to lead him to the next adventure.

My favorite image from the visit is Tate tearing around our house topless with a look of pure glee on his face. I can't remember if Ryan, Lucie, or both, were chasing him at the time, but he adored it. From morning to night, with lots of playing in between, Tate, Ryan and Lucie were inseparable.

We all agree, Mr. Tate sure is fun to have around. I was sad to see them leave and instantly missed Tate's infectious giggle and squeal around the house. Come visit us again soon, Taters!
