All dressed up to go see Santa

We took Tatum and cousin Kingston to see Santa this week. Kingston wasn't too excited to see Santa (I didn't blame him, Santa wasn't too jolly), but Tatum had no clue what was going on so she was okay with him. I took pics of her in her little oufit that Mammy bought her, she looked adorable.

Looking pretty

I finally talked Matt into letting me take and get Tatum's ears pierced. I had been trying to convince him for about a month. He finally gave in and told me that I could take her and have it done, but he was drawing the line-- "there was not going to be a belly button ring or nose piercing". They look absolutely adorable! Pa Pa has already went and bought Tatum her first set of real diamond earrings but she can't have them until Christmas (he had them wrapped already). Until then she has to continue wearing her fake ones.

Fall time in Tennessee

We stopped at a rest area in Tennessee on the way to see the family for the week. We decided to take pictures next to the pretty flowers and pumpkins. It was decorated so nice for the fall season.

Is this swing thing supposed to be fun???

I don't know if Tatum will ever enjoy swinging in her swing (it used to be cousin Kingston's swing). When my nephew Kingston was a baby I remember he loved to swing in it, but that's not the case with Tatum. She will sit in it for a few minutes and she's had enough, the crying begins and that's with the music on it going. Maybe she will grow to like it, but for now the swing thing is not happening!

Shake, rattle, and roll

She is in deep thought, doesn't know exactly what's going on!

Tatum is moving her arms a lot now and cooing, so today I tried the wrist rattles on her. She absolutely loved them, she grinned the whole time they were on. It is amazing how much she is already noticing.

STYLIN' AND PROFILIN'

It's a good thing Tatum is such a good baby. I think we try on at least 5 different outfits before we find one that fits her. Matt came home last night and I had Tatum already dressed, and he said "Oh I guess we have the two-layer look going on". She looked so cute!!

Happy baby girl..

would love to know what she is thinking

Tatum is such a happy baby! She loves taking a bath, and mommy and daddy have so much fun with her. She smiles constantly and has started making a lot of cute sounds. I know she thinks mommy and daddy are absolutely crazy with all of the funny faces we make at her, and all the talking we do. She is truly a blessing to us.
