thought I would share some pics of the two folks that take care of Tate. Katie is our nanny and takes excellent care of Tate 4 days a week. She is wonderful and we are so lucky to have her. We tell Tate that Katie is his first girlfriend!

Grandpa Jon (Tate Jon’s namesake) visits Tate every Thursday and spoils the boy rotten with all the hugs and kisses that he gives him throughout the day. I know that Tate brightens up Jon’s day but Jon brightens up Tate’s as well.

Tate – Master Sitter March 4, 2008

Yup, you can add the title “Master Sitter” to Tate’s accomplished resume. He has learned that there is more to life than just laying on the ground waiting for someone to give him a toy. Sitting has given him a new perspective on life – one that is more than 3 inches off the ground!
