Cutting teeth, blue eyes, and a trip to the zoo

The Tater has two teeth. She's very protective of them and will only show them once in a while, but she sure is happy to bite you with them!

She's also still working on the mechanics of her crawling. She's got good stationary form and she rocks back and forth like a champ, but she can't quite get either of those knees moving forward. But as soon as that happens, look out!


She is able to scoot herself backwards without difficulty, as the next two pics demonstrate:

Our friend Jen is in town, and on Friday we went to the zoo with Michael, Drea, and Abby. Here's a pic of Aunt Jen with a teething Tater:

Here's a pic of Abby leaning over the rail to get a better look at a rhino rolling in its own filth. If you had any doubts, I can confirm that rhino urine stinks something awful.

Here's a pic of Tate and Pa. You can't really see either of our faces, but you sure can tell that we're happy.

Here's a pic of a gorilla hanging her coolie over the edge of a ledge to take a leak.

Here's two polar bears moving in formation. They paced back in forth in time to each other for several minutes. It was something to see.

We have our own zoo back at the ranch and Lucy knows a few tricks of her own.

Don't forget the paw prints.

Those pics were pre-summer cut. Here she is post-summer cut:



Here's one last pic. I hope your screen does justice to her brilliant blue eyes.



Until next time,
Sweet Potato and family
