T loves the pool and doesn't mind wearing her floaties.

Philip, Dusty, Hayden, and Tatum

This summer T has also learned the importance of a pedicure.  She insists on having both a color coat and a clear coat.  You can't get by with just one...and she will blow them dry too!

She looooooves Spaghetti

accessories, parties, and Hayden

We've been playing at the splash park in the neighborhood.  T was a little unsure at first but now she loves it.

She loooooves playing with my make up.  Especially the eye liner.  She will continually say eye eye eye...

James and T have become very good friends.  They play together and copy one another.

Tatum had a great time at Johanna's birthday party.  This was her first Gymboree experience and she loved it.  

Our little girl can down some hot sauce.  Here she is eating it with a spoon!

When we left Sams the lady drew a picture of Tatum.  Toooo cute!!

We had a fun family night at the Causey's with home made pizza.  Here's the group pic of the kiddos.

Miss priss looooooves accessories.  Notice the bangles and bag which she had to have before we went to the park.

Also she knows we must never leave home without our lip gloss....

Tatum and Hayden play so well together.  He is like a big brother to her.  He kept pouring water on her head during the bath and she giggled so hard.

Here they are after watching some cartoons.

Easter and Such

So better late than never.....Here's a little bit of what went on around Easter

Tatum, Mama Jo, and I went to Hot Springs and stayed at Uncle Jack and Aunt Mandy's house with Reed, Jessica, Tuffy, and JuJu.  We enjoyed visiting with them.  Since mom's grandchildren were together we had to get a picture of them in their Easter gear.

Reed was thrilled...

Mama Jo wanted pictures with her greatgrands...

Tatum and I had a photo session with the azalea blooms

Finally getting a little bit of hair!!!

We went to see the Easter Bunny at King Hardware.  T was not a fan....

Stoic T

Lizzie had her first birthday!!!  We enjoyed celebrating at Lady and Papa's house

While shopping T loves to dig in my purse.  This dress is one of my favorite finds for her Easter clothes.  It's a chenille bunny...with ruffles

Easter weekend Philip and I took a mini vacation to Augusta, Charleston, and Columbia

Philip got to go to the Masters which has been a lifelong dream of his.

Philip and I got a day on the beach in Charleston.  It's a great place to visit and would definitely go back!

Of course Philip squeezed in a round of golf...

While we were away T made the rounds between Mom and Dad...and Shannon and Chad.  This was at the Fall's easter egg hunt.  Tatum loved picking the eggs up!

18 months

Life has been busy so I haven't had much time to document the latest on our lil T...so here's some major catching up....

Recently Tatum had two ear infections

This picture depicts her behavior around that time.  Mama Jo got her these cute pj's for Christmas and she loves them!

Bath time is definitely one of the highlights of her day.  She loves to line up all of her toys on the edge and watch them dive into the water.  She lost her balance the other day and had a minor panic attack in the water but she's quickly resumed her playful demeanor in the tub.   Philip has also introduced bubble baths which she loooooves.

Per usual....she and Lola are still BFF.  Every morning Tatum waves bye bye to Lola.  She also says "BAD" when we get onto Lola for trying to eat her food or chew Tatum's toys.

The spice rack is still one of our favorite places to explore...

Tatum knows what a Sonic drink is...or any Styrofoam cup for that matter is usually taste tested by this chick.

We finally installed her TV in the back of my car and she loves The Lorax.

Teeth...Tatum isn't always a fan of brushing her teeth.  She's had 4 teeth forever and finally got another one on top and also a molar in the back came in last week.

The park has been a place that we've been frequenting.  She loves the swing and thinks that it's hilarious when she "hits" anyone while she's swinging.

Sliding with Daddy

Sliding with Mommy

Tatum loves prissing around on Sunday mornings. This is the first time I let her wear her pearl bracelet.  She literally walked around with her arm out for hours showing it off.  PRESH! 

I hosted a shower for Taryn and Tatum partook in the cupcakes....

We are excited about Hutch coming soon!

Tatum loves RayRay.  Here they are enjoying punch at Phillip's baby shower.

We spent Saturday with Mama Nell, Papa Dig, and Mama Jo recently.  Here's Mama Nell teaching Tatum all about our family.

She had a rough day and slept the whole way home from Minden.

So Valentine's Day I tried to get a similar picture from last year but Tatum was very upset that she wasn't allowed to have her pacifier for the picture......Recently she started arching her back and stomping her feet when she's mad.  I guess she saw someone at school do this....surely she didn't get it from her parents.

Riley had a princess party for her 4th birthday and Tatum wore a cute dress with a castle on it and loved the food...clearly...

Tatum and I love to play and take our pictures...

Tatum crashed boys night and fell asleep while Philip played Xbox with the guys.

She loves her CozyCoupe!

Philip and I went to Nola this weekend so that I could run the Rock n Roll Half Marathon and my parents kept her for us.  She enjoyed Orange Leaf with them...
