We celebrated Michael's 29th birthday again on Friday. A good time was had by all. Tate got to visit with her pal Abby while the adults feasted on Drea's delicious brisket. Michael, Troy, and I had some too. I had a bit of a headache on Saturday morning --- must have been allergies.
Famous worked on Saturday so Tate and I had the whole day together. It was a rainy day so not much got done, which made it just about the best day ever.
I raced on Sunday morning (and took a beating, again), but that afternoon we fired up the grill for the first time in 2007:
That's always a cherised event around here. One burger, one chicken breast, and one link of sausage for each of us, plus the jar of baby food. The sausage is from Veron's back in the Motherland, and it's my favorite. Tate got to nibble on grilled chicken, which she clearly enjoyed (as if it could be any other way).
On Monday Famous and Tate went for a walk which, as always, puts the little girl to sleep:
Tate's food is becoming more adventurous. The canned food manufacturers make what appear to me to be horrendous concoctions like turkey, carrots, apples, and barley, all in one jar, but the Tater seems to enjoy them:
These days we're still enjoying mostly the simple stuff, like multi-grain cereal, apples, pears, prunes, yogurt, sweet potatos, green beans, squash of various kinds, peas. She was getting lots of bananas for a while, but we think they make her constipated.

Other than that, there's not a whole lot new around here. Tate is still not quite crawling or sitting up on her own, but she's getting close. The house isn't child-proofed yet, but I'm guessing that will happen any day now and in crisis mode. She sleeps all night, usually over 10 hours at a stretch - hurray for sleep! Grammy is coming out to visit in early May, and we're gearing up for that. Yours truly is trying to earn a year's worth of pay in one month, but I have a nagging feeling that no matter what, I'll still have to show up for the rest of the year...

Until next time (and with more pictures!),
