My #1 baby turned 3 the other month. She is in preschool, she speaks to you like a 10 year old, and she doesn’t mind if I am not by her side at all times….she is growing so fast! I remember how I use to speak to the sky and let my future baby girl know that her name would be Taytum since I was 14. 

How did I pick Taytum

 My mother LOVES black & white movies and one day I just happen to be passing through the living room and the TV screen caught my attention. There was this young girl with light colored hair and big light colored eyes. I asked my mom what she was watching and she replied “Paper Moon.”          I the asked ” Who is that lil girl?”      My mom replied “That is Tatum O’Neal.”         From that moment I loved the name  and promised to myself that if I ever have a little girl,  her name would be Tatum.  Her daddy picked the spelling *Taytum*

Taytum- You are my heart and I wanted you for as long as I can remember. I am sooo very very very blessed to have you in my life and to be your mommy! Always and Forever I will love you pumpkin!
