Favorites from September

Tate and I took our first trip alone in September to see Grandma and Grandpa Staveness. Tate hung out at my uncle's farm for an afternoon and was mesmerized by the tractors. He liked baby cows until one mooed at him.

Mom thinks she looks like a dork in these pictures, but I think they are the best ever and it's my blog, so I'm posting them :-)

From an evening hike where Tate met a toad. He succeeded in grabbing it, then dropping it down dad's back where it, thankfully, avoided being smushed.
Tate thinks he's funny.
I bought a bike helmet for Tate so we could ride together. I laughed hysterically the first time I put it on him. It is nearly as wide as his shoulders, but hey, it makes his butt look small.
Blowing raspberries continues to be Tate's favorite thing to do all it takes is a little suggestion to get him going. Last week we took him to an IU soccer game. The trombones set Tate off on a raspberry streak. I think he's destined to be a brass player - alas.
