Grandma C comes to visit

We were spoiled to have Todd's mom out for a visit this weekend. We had so much fun and can't believe how fast those 3 days went. Tatum was so happy to have her Grandma here. Love you!

I am bias since this is my own daughter but I think she is SO dang cute!!!

Enjoyed taking some fun pictures while walking around German Village.

Being a kid is always fun!

So if you didn't already know, our daughter just LOVES water in any form. She can't get enough of it and would be in it if she could 24 -7. One evening a few weeks ago we had one of our famous rain storms here in Ohio and we went out on our front porch to watch it come down together as a family. We stuck our hands out into the rain and that is all it took for Tatum. She was grunting at us and pointing at the rain. She wanted us to take her out into what was the biggest shower possible and let her play in it. So that is what we did. We ran out and played in the rain as a family and had SO much fun. Tatum was laughing and smiling so hard it was priceless. We found all the puddles we could to splash in and even let her sit down and have at it. She was in heaven. The hardest part was bringing her back in. She cried and begged with her big blue eyes to let her stay out and play. It was a fun memory that I will always remember. We are now forever doomed because since that night whenever it's rained she wants to go out and play it in. If we don't take her out she whines and cries. It's sad and cute all at the same time.

14 Months old Today

We can't believe that sweet Tatum is growing up so fast on us.
Today she is 14 months old and has been quite the busy girl.

At this point:
~She is walking on her own with a few falls here and there.
~She is testing mommy and daddy to see if she can do certain things and see our response.
~She loves to shake her head no and understands at times what we mean when we say it.
~She has been trying out different foods and really likes most of them. Some of her favorites are: string cheese, gold fish crackers, blueberries, strawberries, pancakes, ice cream, just to name a few.
~She loves going to the pool everyday with mommy and can't get enough of any water in general.
~She has to always be socializing or doing what mommy or daddy is doing. She has a great wave and loves to wave at anyone she can.
~`She also has a cute fake laugh she does when she is in big groups and wants to be involved. It's so funny.

We have loved seeing her develop and grow. We can't believe our little girl is growing up on us so fast. She is such a joy to us. Love you sweet Tatum.
