The long lost Tates

So we haven't been great bloggers... We know. But in our defense we are great blog readers! lol. Well we finally decided to stop resisting the urge and put more pictures on to share with family. I lied there was no urge, but rather guilt. So here you go.

We had a water day where we live and the set up the sprinklers and slides and kiddy pools. So we took Lylia to play. Here are just a few of her adventures.

Lylia getting help from daddy after goind down the long slide!
She kept getting splashed by big kids in this little kiddy pool so we only stayed for about five minutes. Justin was such a good sport and played with her so I could take pictures. They chased each other around and away from the sprinklers. A few times they reached me without me noticing and I got pretty wet.



Lylia getting wet!








The one forbidden word in our house is OTTERPOP. We say it only if we have them and she has eatten a good meal. She LOVES them! Thanks Jennifer for getting her hooked! It has saved us on a few baby melt downs!

Justin and I love when Lylia walks around with her blankie made by his mother, and her binkie. We always say that she is wrapped up in grandmothers love!
Here is just a cute picture of Lylia on the grass!





We babysat Camile which is Justin's cousins daughter. Does anyone know what to call that relation. I should know seeing how I am a genealogy major but you got me stumped. They played with bubbles that Jennifer gave us and they loved them! Thanks again Jennifer for the new addiction.

One of our favorite videos of Lylia. She loves to dance and takes every chance to do. I hope we can get her into dance classes someday like my mom got us in when I was young.

And lastly this is a video of Lylia reading to herself in the morning. We heard her making some quiet noises and discovered that she reads to herself. She is such a sweet baby girl! She truly brightens our day and we would not be as happy without her in our family!
