As you've seen, Tatum was on Santa's nice list and received a few fun and practical gifts for Christmas including a baby, a baby stroller, and a potty. Now I know it's too soon to start potty training (or is it?); but it was a huge, wrapped gift under the tree. So the potty, like the baby and stroller, are for fun and amusement. Tatum is hilarious as she asks for toilet paper and sits on the toilet practicing.
She continues to love and be awed by dogs. Her favorite is a dog named Max. This shot is from Christmas Day.
Her vocabulary continues to grow as she adds new words: milk, kitty, baby, Audry (daycare friend), Ailer (daycare friend), Tootsie (daycare dog), and a slew of Spanish words that I don't know. Yep, my daughter speaks Spanish, but we don't. So Tia and Ceci from daycare keep us informed of her new speaking developments. Know when I write that Tatum is speaking, it is mostly words that only her parents, or daycare, understand. So that is why I am at a complete loss for the Spanish words.
Tatum's favorite thing in the world is YOGURT. The girl wakes up and goes to the fridge asking for it. When she comes home, she walks to the fridge and asks for it. It is a most delicious treat. In the Tibetan culture it is a sacred food and there is a three day performance arts festival to celebrate the importance of yogurt to the Tibetans. So she knows what's up and we make her a bowl and let her enjoy feeding herself. Tatum does not like to have any help when eating. Except at the end of the meal when she needs help to scrape off the yogurt off her chin and onto the spoon for another bite. And yes, sometimes two spoons are preferred. Tatum is a true believer that because she has two hands, food or a utensil should be in both. So snacks are always given in twos, one for each hand. For the two bowls pictured here, one is yogurt, the other apple sauce.

And India, our cat, has become more and more tolerant of Tatum's generous displays of affection.
