Pinnacle of Cuteness

Last night Eric and I were talking about how right now we love the age that Tatum is in. He said he thinks she has reached her "Pinnacle" of cuteness. Here are some of the things we just can't get enough of, when it comes to Tatum:

*She squeals so loudly when we come thru the doors from being gone

*She will wake up and call out "Ma Ma" or "Da Da"

*She likes to play on our bed and make tents out of sheets

*She likes to get Nome (Normandy) out of her kennel in the morning

*She will read to her dolly

*she will say "milk please"

*She likes to play in the sink with bubbles

*When something makes her happy she will look at us and say "happy"

I am of course in love with her right now, but I believe (as I am sure that Eric does too), that the cuteness will just go on and on and on!

A Time of Wonderment

Putting up the Tree at my parents house on Thanksgiving has been a tradition now for quite a few years now. Tatum did want to look and touch and feel. She seemed to know what the limits would be and did quite well for her age. We had a great Thanksgiving spent with my Grandma Ryan, Aunt Audrey, cousin Mindy and Mike, my sister Alisa and my Parents.

Tatum had a weekend filled with Daddy. Eric took some time off from work and we had a great weekend. On Friday morning we brought Tatum in our bed and did our "ritual" of making a tent with the sheets at Tatum's request. Tatum got a new baby doll and tried to feed it from her sippy cup. It was so cute to see her playing like that. She liked to bounce on Daddy and go for horsey rides on him. The fun never stopped.

She also has this fascination with "Bubbles". We would put her at the sink and fill it up with bubbles and let her play...this could go on for hours if we let it I think.
