This girl's birthday is almost here!!!

OCTOBER 16th

When I was pregnant with Tatum, everyone, even perfect strangers told me "Just enjoy the time that you have with her while she is little.She will grow up way too fast." I understood.Or I thought I did until now. Time really really has gone by very quickly. These first two years of her life have been ultra fun!! (minus the acid reflux,trips to the ER,the sleepless nights,the ear infections,the crying for no apparent reason)ok ok. Parenthood has been challenging at times but I know that all the times we sat there and laughed our fannies off at our baby girl or sat and oogled over her, far, far outweigh those ....other times.I am sooo glad to be Tatum's mommy and hope that this day will be so special for her!
