Tatum currently eats a bottle at 7amish, 10:30-11ish am, 230-330ishpm and 7-7:30pm. She typically eats 6 ounces a feeding. She eats cereal between 8 and 9 and then baby food around noon and dinner time. So far, there hasn't been a food she doesn't like or won't eat. She usually eats 1.5 stage 2 baby foods at lunch and 1 or 1.5 at dinner time! It seems like veggies are preferred over fruits, but Tatum attacks just about everything we feed her. The only food she doesn't love is peaches...I think its too tart for her.
Tator usually get a bath between 6 and 7pm and is ready for her last bottle shortly after. Sometimes its a struggle to hold her off until 7:30 to eat because she is so tired. She has been in a habit of wakin up and talking around 4:30-5am...if we bring her into our bed, she passes back out until 7. I know its not the best habit to get into, but Sky and I both love snuggling with her.
Tatum is on a schedule for the most part. She has her schedule when she's at Kim's and then her schedule when she is home with me. MWF, she usually dozes for 20 mins or so on the way to Kim's and then snoozes for 45-hour at some point mid morning. She then usually sleeps from 12pm-230 or 3pm. Believe it or not, she usually sleeps for 30 minutes or so on the ride home as well. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, Tatum usually takes a short nap on our ride to take Grey to preschool. She then is awake until her late morning bottle when she normally falls asleep until about 12-12:30pm. She is awake for a few hours in the afternoon and then naps from 3-5ish. She is very easy going and will pretty much go with the flow and sleeps when she needs it:)
Tatum is still very happy...smiles and laughs a lot. She also does her "bunny" face quite a bit trying to make us laugh..just like Grey did when he was a baby.
Tatum is a mover! She crawls everywhere and tries to pull herself up to a standing position whenever she can. She isn't super stabile on her feet yet, but I have a feeling it won't be long!
Tatum seems to really love any toy she can get her hands on and put in her mouth. She wants the tv remotes and our cell phones the most, but the maracas and Grey's trains come in a close second!
Tatum's nicknames include: Tator Tot, Tatie, Dooter, Dooter dot, Doods, and sissy!
She is wearing primarily 12 month clothes...but I am not buying anything smaller than 18 months for fall/winter clothes. I hate when the leggins are tight in he belly! Home girl can easily sport 24 month leggins:)
Tatum went to her first pumpkin patch this month. She also experienced her first Halloween! She hung with Daddy and passed out candy since it rained! She and Grey were the cutest pirates I have ever seen!
Tatum has eight teeth now...Her two top front teeth are about half way in and the two teeth on either side of her bottom two teeth are about 1/4 of the way in. She can be a tad fussier here and there when the teeth come in, but nothing a lil tylenol or ib profen can't handle!
Tatum is growing up so fast! It is so fun to see her learn and discover new things, but I wish I could push a slow motion button! Before we know it, this lil lady is going to running everywhere!
