Weekend Without Dad

This weekend Philip went to Hot Springs for a ton of golf playing. He and Charlie played 36 holes a day. This left Tatum, Lola, and I at home holding down the fort.

We didn't get a chance to do much outside since it rained and rained and rained. We did however play pretty hard indoors.

Tatum loves when I fix her hair crazy ways.....



She also was getting into the rocks which is a "no no."  This was the innocent pic that I sent to Philip.


I also got a little crafting and decorating done while she napped.


Of course we had a fashion show with numerous costume changes....

Monkey see Monkey do

Tatum loves to copy me and wear my clothes/accessories. Here are some of my favorite copy catting

Tatum's first painting

Last week at day care the kids got to paint! Mrs. Sandra and Bridgette had each child sit in their laps and paint grapes. They definitely enjoyed it! Here's a pic of her creation.

Tatum-isms ect

So here are some cute things that Tatum does/says....

She always says "bless you" after a sneeze or cough. Although its sounds more like "shlush you"

Yesterday I asked Tatum "where does Jesus live?" and her response was " I don't want to do that."

When the door opens by the garage, she automatically says, "Dada!"

When Lola barks at the front door she says "James!"

She calls the remote..."mote"

She loves to push her baby's stroller around with purses on the handles. She will even take her glasses off and place them around the handles.

She does not like to get out of bed in the mornings. She would love to lay in bed longer.

Her latest trick for staying up late is whispering, "rock dada."

The child loves to dance. Loves Elmo. Abby Cadabby. Despicable Me. The Lorax.

She eats pretty much everything. Especially mandarin oranges, raisins, steak, and cookies. This month Papa introduced her to chocolate milk. It's one of her new favs.

When I go to get her from daycare she tells me to "Sit mama." This is a good thing because it reinforces that she loves her school.

Leopard, chickens, and cookies

We love taking pics of our sweet girl. She loves accessories as you can tell. She loves to wear my glasses over her glasses!
             


Philip took T to his parents the other night and she to cluck at the neighbor's chickens.

T loves cooking in her kitchen. Benet got her some play cookies to cook which are too cute!!


                  

                                 

While Philip and I were away in Dallas, we bought T some new clothes including her styling leopard leggings!!!

Circus Circus

We loaded up T on Sunday to take her to her first circus. She LOVED it.

We met her bff's Lizzie and Ava. Mee-Mee & Papa also met us there. We started off trying to get a picture with the clowns but a blood hurtling scream later....ended without a picture. Lizzie was great and sat with the clown :)

Tatum loved the tigers and especially loved the poodles that performed tricks. They had elephants that she was pretty interested in too.

Papa bought Tatum a wand with Tons of lights and she loved it!

Two year shots

Well we finally took T for her shots last week. She was definitely not thrilled to be there. The whole time we were in the waiting room, she was fussy and wanted to eat 1038473939 suckers.

The entire time Dr.Cockrell was in the room ......Tatum cried. In fact I snapped a picture of her overall demeanor.

All in all her percentages are pretty funny
25 lbs. 25%
Height 10%
Head circumference 75%

She definitely got the O'Dell head!
