Tatum

Tatum Kathrine Sherwood was born to Jennifer Hardy on May 13th, 2004. She was 7lbs. even 19 1/2 inches long with a full head of dark hair and olive skin. She was amazing and tiny, as all new borns are. I remember being so scared I would break her because of her frailty but I loved taking care of her. I was a single mother to Tatum for a year and a half before I met Mark. Tatum was my only ally I felt. The one person who was genuinely apart of me. Because of that we will always have a strong bond that will live on for forever. Now Tatum is 4 years old as of May 13, 2008. She is smart, extremely imaginative and one of a kind. Already at such a young and pure age she is aware of so much going on around her, but the one thing I love about her is that she is courteuos of others. Always the first to say please and the first to show thanks, she will never make one feel taken advantage of. She is loved very much by her friends and family and is spoiled rotten by Grandmas and Grandpas. Tatum and Mark are two peas in a pod. She never hesitates to address him as Dad and always calls on him to help her leaving me feeling a battle of emotion. I feel kind of jealous, yet oh so happy that she counts on him the way she does. I want to get her into dance lessons of some kind, due to her twirling and ballet like moves that she has been recently showcasing to her Father and I. SSSHHH do not tell her though because I think that will be added into her christmas this year. I think she'll love it!
