Happy 5th Birthday Tatum!

I am going to shy away from my normal posting on Tatum's birthday which is her Brith story. It truly is remarkable, so if you want to read it search her past birthday.

I am feeling sentimental this birthday as Tatum turns 5. I can not believe that it has been 5 years, since she was born. 5 just sounds old. I mean, she is not a toddler any more, she is considered a child. At 5 Tatum can go to school, at 5 she no longer gets in free to places. However, we have been having to explain lately that she really is a four year old.

So today for Tatum's 5th Birthday, I am going to post pictures of her on her past 4 birthdays!

Here she is just moments after her birth in to this world.

This is her first birthday before the guest arrived

This is actually at Carter Arrington's first birthday, but it was on her actual birthday.

Ahhh... the memorable 3rd birthday where Brylee blew her candles out. This still is one of my all time favorite pictures! Funny story, we were sitting in the car yesterday waiting for Taylor to get out of school and we were talking about her up coming party and the first thing she said was, "I hope Brylee doesn't try and blow out my candles." It is so funny that she remembers that.

Her 4th birthday was low-key just family, but she infact was the princess of the day!

And here she is today, 5 years old! We often get comments on how she looks so much older than 5. We did her yearly weight and height check for our "Wall of Height" and Tatum weighted in at 70 pounds and was 47 and 1/2 inches tall. That's right she is a 1/2 an inch away from 4 feet! That is just 1 foot 4 inches away from me. In marking her height, she was right above where Taylor was in April of 2006! That's right, Tatum is taller than Taylor was when he was in the first grade, and 6 years old!!! She must get her height from her daddy!

Happy Birtday Sweet Baby Girl! We love you very much!
