Sunshine!

Tate soaked up the sun (well, as much as possible in an SPF 50 hat, rashguard, and slathered in sunblock) last week when we went up to the lake. Tate had a fantastic time with cousins Lucie and Ryan, especially in the toddler pool with all its mayhem! And the bathtub too! We had a great vacation, which included the fantastic news that Uncle AJ secured his first 9-5 gig as a college graduate. An aerospace engineering position at an airline; wahoo Uncle AJ!

Tate may have two risk averse parents, but somehow that hasn't stifled his thirst for adventure. His three favorite activities are playing with doors, pulling on chairs, and darting into a kitchen or bathroom when the opportunity presents itself. Needless to say, these hobbies of his keep his parents constantly on edge. About a month ago Tate booked his first trip to the ER when he pulled a kitchen chair down on himself. As you can see in these photos, though, that experience hasn't discouraged him from playing with doors, looking for trouble, and getting into mischief with his friend Finley.
