Brothers

Finn thinks Tate is just about the coolest kid on the planet.  He has always loved his big brother.  Always looked around for him when he heard his voice.  And now that Finn's more mobile he scoots, rolls, and arches his back to keep Tate in sight when he's near.  He thinks Tate is so stinkin' hilarious.  Tate just makes noises, a few different noises in particular, and Finn can't keep from busting up.  I love it.  If Glenn or I make the same noises, it's not funny.  But Tate, he's the favorite, and that's fine by me.  

Tate's quite proud of it.  He's always saying, "Mom, I made Finn smile!"  or "I made Finn laugh!  That means that he loves me!" Tate is doing surprisingly well with Finn too.  He's either too busy to remember he's around at all, or he's smothering him with hugs and kisses and so excited that Finn is happy to see him.  So far this brother thing is turning out really well.  We'll see if it keeps up when Finn starts crawling and wanting to share/suck on Tate's toys.
