BAKING WITH TATE


17 MOS SECRET RECIPE




I told momma that we needed to try a little baking, so we dug out our secret family recipe for sugar cookies and got baking.




17 MOS BAKING COOKIES2




Momma added the butter and egg and I started stirring and stirring mixing up all that cookie goodness.

Checking out the texture and flavor.

I had so much fun making COOKIES with momma, I told her that we should do this every day! Why did Momma laugh at that?

NEW HAITIAN DOLL....

The cutest girls are making these adorable Haitian dolls and are donating all proceeds to aid in the Earthquake victims.... These cutest girls are sisters ranging from 8-12 yrs old. I just love that such young kids can be so globally aware.

Tate was very interested in her new doll.... She examined it

And shared it....
My girls, Tate and Mesa (nose in view only) checking out the new doll.



Both Tate and Mesa are very excited about the new doll.....
If you want a doll too, you can go to this blog and see some of the cute dolls just waiting to go home to you...

FUNNY SIDE NOTE....
Tate found this bracelet and placed it around her ankle... she insisted on wearing this all day even when we put shoes and socks on and headed out the door.... Funny girl.

WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN....

Tate LOVES shrimp and lobster!

EATING SHRIMP

shrimp8


She had her first bite of my lobster and ate the whole lobster tail. I thought for sure she would gag on a bite of shrimp. I had to pry her hands from the empty shrimp tail. I love that she is open to new flavors, textures and tastes. A girl after my own heart.

SSSSS NOOOO.....W MUCH FUN!!!

1ST PLAY IN SNOW 007

Bundled up so snugly. Tate is wearing some SERIOUS winter boots that are a few sizes too big. She has officially become a walker within the past week so this extra challenge of heavy boots in too large of a size proved a handicap to her. I just picked her up and plopped her where I wanted her.

1ST PLAY IN SNOW 014

I pulled this sweet snow bunny up and down the snow covered sidewalks on our street. She is still learning the balancing thing and would tobble over constantly. She loved tobbling over so much I started wondering if she was falling over on purpose!
