Bruised up

Yesterday we had a big boo boo day. Tatum thought he would run back and forth between the kitchen and living room as fast as he could. One trip his toe caught the carpet and he face planted straight to the ground. His poor nose caught the fall. I knew it was broken. But we took him to the Dr. today and all is well! No broken noses for my little guy :) Ahhh little rambunctious boy :) And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Bruised up....

Scuse me!

Trying to teach my little man some manners is paying off! I always try to make a point if someone burps to say, "Oh! Excuse me (you)!" Today while having lunch he lets out a loud burp and looks at me with a huge smile and says, "scuse me!" Is he the sweetest thing in the world? Why yes, yes he is!

I think this may be my favorite photo of all time...

I wuv ew!

Yesterday was quite possibly one of my favorite days ever! I was playing with Tatum and sat him up on my shoulders. He of course laughed like he always does. I then turned around and said. "I love you Tatum!" Guess what? He said, "I wuv ew!" Heart=melted. I just can't explain how wonderful it was to hear him say that. I told him to say it to daddy. He looks at Josh and says, "Wuv ew!" We both grinned from ear to ear. Were there a few tears from the mama? Possibly.

Look at these curls!

Yep, nana and I let him gnaw on that chicken wing.....

Love his little pj's :)

Slacker

So I promised myself I would write on this blog on a daily basis. Hmmmmmmm.......well it's been a while. I guess I feel like I have nothing important to write about but I know later I will kick myself for not keeping up with Tatum's daily antics.

Yesterday he thought he would take it upon himself to rip his diaper off, throw it aside, pee in the floor, and then run around naked. Yep, that's my kid. When I tried to put a clean diaper on him he shook his head, said no, and then proceeded to run around naked some more. Oh well, this is only going to be cute when he's little. Let's hope he does not want to do this when he's older, ha!

When watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Mickey asks if you want to come inside his Clubhouse, Tatum shakes his head and says, "nope". Want to be a part of Jake and the Neverland Pirates Crew? "Nope". Haha he cracks me up every single day! He also picks up the remote control and hands it to me then points at the tv to get me to change it if the show that's on at the moment isn't what he's interested in. Too smart folks.

Hopefully I can try this again tomorrow!

Teething.....ugh

It's been a crazy few days here. My little man is cutting those top two teeth and they are just giving him all sorts of trouble. One thing that really bothers him when he's just about to have a tooth pop through is his bowels. Warning: TMI for some.....he's had really loose runny bowels. He's had at least 6 or 7 a day since Sunday bless his heart. He had a particularly bad incident on the porch while we were outside playing that resulted in me having to clean the porch. Yeah....good times. He let me massage his gums this morning and I think it helped him. The fact that he was letting me do it made me realize he must be hurting pretty bad.

He has been jibbering up a storm today and it is so funny and cute. He will look at me and hold his little hands up and jibber something to me. I talk back and he will jibber some more just like we are having a conversation. If I can catch it on video I'll post it here. He's also started shaking his head no today. I think he is trying to tell me when he is full because he's been doing it when I offer him a bite of food and it's always towards the end of his meals. That's really cute too and he thinks it's funny when I laugh.

Last night we had our Wednesday night church service outside at Mamaw and Papaw Hack's house. It was really nice to have church with them since they aren't able to come anymore. I know they enjoyed it. What was Tatum doing you ask? Playing in the dirt and gravels and screaming. But what can I expect? He's learning all sorts of new things and he's too busy to slow down. Can you blame him?

Have I mentioned lately he's my favorite little thing in the whole wide world? I am just so in love with him :)

Mother's Day

I had my very first Mother's Day! I counted my first one really when I was pregnant last May but this year my sweet baby was in my arms to celebrate. Josh surprised me with a new Vera Bradley camera bag. He picked it out all by himself and I love it! He said Tatum showed him the one to get ha! The highlight of my day? The 3 hour nap that Daddy, Tatum, and I took together Sunday evening. Tatum hadn't had a nap all day long so about 4:00 we snuggled up and he finally went to sleep so we all climbed in the bed. We woke up close to 8:00 and believe it or not Tatum was ready for bed by 9:30 after a late supper and bath.

I also attended a new Sunday school class at church for wives and mothers and let me tell ya, it's great! Our first lesson was centered on Matthew 6:33 and it is seeking Jesus FIRST above all else, because how can you be a good mother and wife if you don't have your #1 relationship  in order? I'm loving the class. I take Tatum with me and it is sort of a challenge, he is so busy now and learning to walk so he doesn't like to sit still at all. But I WILL NOT quit going. Even if I have to get up with him 500 times during the class, that is ok. I just hope he's not disturbing everyone else.

He's cutting his top 2 front teeth and they are hurting him so bad. He's gnawing on everything in sight. I'm hoping they will pop through soon. They've been trying to come through since he was 6 months old.

Hope you had a good Mother's Day! I know this post is way past due!
Pictures tomorrow hopefully!

Who me?

I'm throwing it away mom, NOT getting into the trash!

Oh, I was helping you put the Q-tips away.......

Mom, did you know these made that much noise when you throw them against the floor?

Ahhhhhh, my little explorer.....
