A Special Bond with Papa

It was so precious to me to observe the very special bond that Annie Katharine has with her Papa. The two just enjoy each other so very much! Especially tickle time!

Ha! And Papa and Annie also loved this Papa-initiated activity where they both "rub their butter fat." ; ) Papa would just walk up to Annie and start rubbing his tummy, . . . and Annie would follow suit. Ha!

Ah, but then there is the quiet time of "Soft, Soft, Soft" where Papa whispers those words and tickles Annie's bare skin while she sucks her thumb.
But it wasn't long until it was back to tickle time again!

And I snapped this photo right before we went through security at the end of our trip. Annie just couldn't let go of her dear Papa. : )
