Nearly 6 months old!

The Tater is 2 days shy of 6 months old. Wow, does time fly.

Here's a family portrait, taken last night:

Tate and her Pa out running errands:

The two prettiest ladies I know, sharing some good times after a bath:

Dad puts the Tater to sleep, again:

The Tater loves her Daddy. I know it's true because her shirt says so:

and so does her laugh!

Back from a run with Famous and Lucy:


The jogger is our sleep machine. She always comes home sleeping after a run with Mom.





Dining is still quite an adventure. As you can see Tate is not shy when it comes to feeding. Check out her chubby arm going for the spoon!






This pic doesn't do justice to the puckered face she made after her first bite of apples. It seems that she likes them quite a lot though. Now she can be just like Mom and have fruit with her cereal and milk!


So far she's had rice cereal, sweet potatoes, squash, apples, avocado, and carrots.



Singing in the shower!


Here's a pic of a shaggy Lucy. One of her favorite things is to lick Tate's face. Tate will see it coming and open her mouth and stick out her tongue and laugh. Someday maybe we'll get a picture. They've become good friends. Lucy often lays close by when Tate is on the floor, and Tate loves to pet Lucy. They're very patient with each other.

Our old friend the Geefer was in town this past week, with his lovely lady friend Jen. We spent a day skiing.

For yours truly that might be the last day of skiing this year. The weather is turning warmer and my bicycles beckon. I got out for a dirt bike ride with Darren today, and it was nice enough to pull off the leg warmers. I have the sun burn to prove it! (Casey, the bike works well --- its fine for the kind of riding I'm doing!) In a typical year I'll have about 2600 miles by the first of March, but this year I'm at about 1300 miles. There were 2 races in town this weekend and I skipped them both. Wow, parenthood changes a fella. It's fixed my most compulsive habit! (parenthood and Dan moving away). Speaking of compulsive cyclists, I wonder how Bret is doing...

Until next time,
Sweet Potato and family
