Six Months and Six Moons



Tatum Bell was born on the full moon in May. On November 13th she saw her sixth moon (pictured above) and on November 20th we celebrated her solar 6 month birthday. This journey is amazing - as all parents know. My favorite "Tatisms" are the following: she laughs like she's been a smoker for 80 years, letting out wispy wines followed by an open mouth gasp of no sound but pure excitement; she loves to fake cough, eh-eh, all the time; when she's tired she turns into an acrobat, lunging out of my arms head first towards the ground (don't worry, i catch her) and this ends up in a full flip maneuver that will continue until I can lay her down; and she does the "Tatum Two Step" when she's excited, kicking her feet frantically in fun. All of these Tatisms are best witnessed in person, but we'll work to catch them on tape and post the video.

lilah is a huge fan of the fake coughing too - i don't know why they get such a huge kick out of it! i guess the attention they realize coughing gains them, quickly made it fun? lilah will cough and then say 'okay!' just to let me know she's okay.

can't wait to see you guys... one of these days!
