Tatum

Tatum was born on July 30, 2010. She weighed 7lbs 14oz and arrived at 12:00pm exactly. She was just beautiful.



From the beginning she has had her days and nights straight. One of her and daddy's favorite things to do was take naps together



Her first "social smile." She and I had gone home after church so she could eat and we were about to go meet daddy and Max for lunch at chipotle (yum). All the sudden she looked at me and started smiling. So much that I caught it on camera! She isn't much for laughing but she does love to smile, especially at daddy and Charlie.


(Isn't this the cutest dress you've ever seen?!)

She rolled over tummy to back around 3 months. Then wouldn't do it again for weeks. All of the sudden one sunday (she apparently likes to have milestones on sundays) we caught her rolling from her back to her tummy. Then just kept going, tummy-back, back-tummy, you get the idea. She now is scooting backwards quite well and can turn in circles on her belly. She is working on getting her tummy off the ground when pushing up on her hands. No progress in moving forward just yet :). She is very good at sitting up and can keep her balance anywhere from 2-30 seconds.




She got her first tooth around 5 months (bottom right-her right). She got her 2nd (bottom left) about 2 weeks later. They are sharp and she uses them quite well.



We started baby food at 5 1/2 months. She hated cereal from the beginning so pretty soon after we tried actual food. Applesauce: not a fan. Sweet potatoes: they're ok. Peaches: confused on why they are sweet but kinda sour. Squash: weird, but kinda good. Pears: favorite so far. Peas: after a few gags ate some more, but very strange.



She currently weighs almost 18lbs and has some serious baby fat. The chunk on her legs is hilarious and her cheeks are the cutest things. She has a pretty little mouth and a perfect little nose. I could watch her sleep for hours. She loves Charlie the dog more than anyone, and smiles the most for daddy. She will sit on Clark's lap so calmly, but for me just squirms and fusses. Darn her sense of smell for the food! She isn't quite sure about her big brother, he is always yelling at her not to steal his toys and food. He loves her very much, though, and every night prays for her. Just the other night he even admitted he liked her :)

Good Morning

A pretty normal morning at our house. Tatum playing with Charlie and Max watching cartoons. And for the first time in weeks Tatie slept until 8!!
A pretty normal, but very good and well rested, morning at our house.

Welcome!

So here goes my second venture into blogging. With my massive amounts of free time I am going to chronicle the daily (or weekly...) lives of our growing, changing and beautiful kiddos.
