She's 1!!

One year ago today Tatum Marie Homec was born.  We were expecting her early because I have Placenta Issues, but almost 5 weeks early was a surprise!!  She was healthy and strong and left the hospital the next day.  We were so excited to have our new little baby girl.
Trent got a new job so he was getting ready to start traveling, this birth could not have come at a better time.  I was worried that Trent would miss the birth because he would be gone.  My body new and so did Tatum how much I needed to have my husband there when I had my baby.


She has been a lot of work.  She was very colicky for the 1st 5 months, and then she would not nap for anything.  But she has been worth the stress, and sleepless nights.  Now that she is a year she sleeps through the night. :)  Takes 2 1 to 1 1/2 hour naps!(This is a very recent thing)  And plays very well.
She is not crawling because of her 5 week stint in a full body cast, but she is very close.  She is scooting all over the place.  As of 2 days ago she found that opening the cupboard and pulling out the movies is a very fun activity.  She also likes to push buttons on the DVD player.
This 1st birthday is bitter-sweet for me.  I'm so happy that she is 1 year old and getting bigger and starting in my favorite stage.  But I'm also sad because I know she will be the last 1 year old I have.  Happy 1st Tatum.  I love you so much.

Holy cow I can't believe she is one. I remember thinking that I wish it was me having my baby instead of knowing I had 7 more months to go. Happy Birthday Tatum. I also know what you mean by saying it is bitter sweet to have her grow up knowing that she is the last 1 year old you will have, it's hard to really know that to be true. I feel that way with Macyn.

I'm sad FOR you because I'll be hitting the one year milestone next month. It's bitter-sweet. But one year olds are so much fun! It's one of my favorite stages.

She's such a beautiful baby.

Tatum is such a cutie pie! That is so awesome that she was healthy and okay to go home at 5 weeks early! I am so glad she is finally sleeping for you. I love nap time! My heart felt sad that you were sad about her being the last 1 year old. Now you can enjoy them growing up and be in a good stage of life! :)

Happy Birthday, Tatum! I can't believe it's been a year. So much has happened. I feel the same way about Avery but our kids are in such fun stages right now, I kind of want to keep them all where they are now. Those are such cute pictures of her...what a doll! Hope to see you again soon.
