Birthday and Buckeye Fun

Daddy turned 31 on Oct 11th!!! YIKES!!
He loved sharing it with little Tatum

Tatum was memorized by the candles.

Our first family buckeye photo.

Aunt Jillian

We had Todd's dad and younger sister out to visit and
we went to a buckeye game, it was so fun and so HOT!

Val and Jill

We took them to Jenny's ice cream to taste all
the crazy flavors of awesomeness!!

Does this diaper make me look fat?
She was storing up her milk for the night

She is still a little too small for this toy but I
had to try it out.
Look at her trying to look over that toy at me.

Too sweet for words.

Again a little too small for some things
but too cute to not try out.

I love this picture, she looks so grown up.

Tatum and two of her girlfriends,
they are all too cute.

Cheese!!

Kitty cat mask for only a $1 at Michael's crafts.

Doing the splits

This picture is a little blurry but we love this new hat
we got her, only it's a little too big for her right now.

Sporting her sexy sun glasses.

Sew Happy!!

"Sew" I decided to make a craft blog so I can keep a record of
all the fun stuff I have been making. If you want to check it out the link is: www.smashleyscreations.blogspot.com
This first picture is of a portable changing pad I made for
Tatum's diaper bag. I love how it turned out.

This is my new apron that use to be one of my
hooter-hiders. I love it because it's reversible.

Here Tatum is modeling one of the skirts I made her. They
are so easy and quick to make. If you want the link for the
tutorial it's on my craft blog.

They are made from old jeans and the waistband
is from an older stretchy shirt material or you can use spandex also.
Can't wait for my next project......hummm.... what will it be????

Fall time is here!!

Tatum and Mommy after Church. Tatum was wearing the dress that her cousin wore at her Aunt's wedding. Too cute not to take pictures of her.

Tatum with Daddy. We got a cute smile with her in this picture.

Love this chubby girl.

Me and two of my sisters the day they flew back to Utah.
We hit the Olive Garden all you can eat soup, salad, and breadsticks
for lunch. Sure miss my mom and sisters already.

Talking Tater

Just a little clip of our happy Tater Bug.

No Boys Allowed!!!

Tatum is now 3 months old so we decided to take
some updated pictures and I love the way they
turned out. She is the cutest butterfly ever!!!

Had to show off her chunky thighs with her
polka dot leg warmers.

My post was titled "No Boys Allowed" because
this weekend Tatum and I were spoiled to have my
mom and all but one of my sisters out to visit, while
Todd flew out to Utah to see his sister who just got back
from her mission. So it was an all girls party at our place.

We went shopping at the outlets and got some killer deals.

We of course had fun doing crafts.

Tatum had her official first blowout and it was
super nasty. Poor thing, but we got through it.
Had to change her diaper in the trunk on a blanket
because she did it after I dropped off my mom at the
airport, so it was not the easiest place to change her but
it worked.

Aunt Jentry

Aunt Summer

Tatum trying to sit up with help from her Daddy.

I can't get enough of these two together.

She started sucking her thumb about
3 weeks ago, it's so stinking cute!!!

Oh and started picking her own nose too....

We got a year membership to C.O.S.I
(it's like a science learning center)
it's fun to go with our friends here in Ohio
and will be more fun once Tatum gets a little older.

This handsome fella next to Tatum is her
boyfriend.....his name is James. He is about
2 months older than her. They are so cute!!!

Some "OH" moments

The "Oh" moment of the "Mile High Ice Cream Pie" at
Champ's restaurant. We ordered it when
Todd's parents were out and we couldn't believe
how huge it was. It was super tasty....
We took the leftovers home and ate it for a whole week.

The "Oh" moment of a daddy/daughter kiss.

The "Oh" moment of hanging out together
as a family on a Saturday morning.

The "Oh" moment of bonding time.

The "Oh" moment of a proud mother.

Love those sweet eyes and chubby cheeks.

Outfit mommy made me.

Sporting her first time wearing shoes.

Now for some stats on Tatum's 2 month visit a week ago:
She weighed in at 12 lbs 3 oz which is 90th percentile.
She was 23 inches in length which is 75th percentile.
Her head was in the 60th percentile.
Healthy Happy Tater Bug is already 10 weeks old.

Visit from Grandparents!!

We were so lucky to have Grandpa and Grandma Christensen
out to visit Tatum for the first time this last weekend.

We went to the pool and Tatum sported her fun sunglasses,
swimsuit, and sun hat. She was the cutest babe there!!

I know I take too many pictures but what
do you expect I am a first time mom.

Love her Squishy Face

Tatum loves bath time, can you tell?

She is a mini Todd if you ask me,
what do you think?

Tatum playing horse with her
Grandpa Christensen

Grandma Christensen loved every
moment she had with Tatum.

We went to the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio
in honor of Todd. It was so cool, and we will be
going back again soon.

Thanks for a wonderful weekend Val and Jeanne.
You are so good to us, we miss you already!!
