Poor little Tate! Just before Kenny
graduated we (on a whim) decided
take a job with Atlas Marketing in
Dallas. So
literally 4 days later we
packed up our house, said our good-
byes, and headed for the open road.
We needed a car when we got there,
so the only option was to drive-20 hours-UGH! Tate was packed
in the back of the
Merc. like a little sardine. As long as he had his
blankie, his
sippie and baby
Einstein playing on the lap top, he
was an angel. What a trooper! Hopefully that was the last LONG
road trip.
This is a picture of Tate waving sweetly like he used to...he does not wave to be nice anymore, however I think his actions are justified. I don't know if Texans have never seen a baby before, but they all feel the need to stop us where ever we go and gock. We even had an Asian couple stop us in the mall and wanted to get pictures with Tate. "Big blue eye," they kept saying. Now I do realize hes quite the babe, but come on peeps. So since his recent celebrity he has learned to be quite defensive. Now when a stranger reaches out their hand to pinch the cheeks, Tate just as quick, swats the hand away and gives the meanest crusty you have ever seen. At first I was totally embarrassed, now I just have a quiet chuckle with myself. This must come from his dad.
