Awww.....

Tate is finally smiling on a regular basis. It's so great to see him respond to us! Josh and I have to work pretty hard to get a smile, but Avery can just sit by him and start talking and he'll give her a big grin. I have a feeling he's going to have Mommy wrapped around his little finger...


Bismarck was fun. The drive there was a bit snowy and slow for the first hour or so, but fine after that. Avery was so excited to stay in the hotel and swim with Daddy. I took Tate with me to my seminar for a few hours each day so Josh and Ave could swim. As you can see, they had a blast! My seminar was great too. It was on pediatric chiropractic; I learned some great new techniques that I can't wait to try!

Josh joked on the way back to Fargo that we could plan a day trip to see all of the "World's Biggest Animals" around here. The world's biggest sand crane (or something like that) is somewhere between Bismarck and Fargo, the buffalo in Jamestown, pelican in Pelican Rapids, prairie chicken in Rothsay, etc. I didn't realize how many there are around here. Here's another little glimpse into Josh's thoughts. On the way back to Moorhead on Sunday he said "If Theodore Roosevelt was alive today, what kind of car would he drive?" Ummm, first of all I don't have time to think about that kind of thing, second of all I don't really care! We're so different. He always manages to make me smile though! We ended up discussing it and deciding that he would drive a hybrid pickup.

Not much else is new. Tate's weight check is Thursday, so I'll update again then. Just wanted to get a few new pics up. This last one isn't a great one of Tate, but it shows how strong he's getting. Enjoy!
