It has been a fun couple of weeks!! It's Tatum's first Halloween and we did it up! We had a Halloween party that we went to with my Mom's group, we got together with our friends Andrea and her adorable Daughter Madison, a Halloween party at Musicology, and we had fun with the trick or treaters at the house! We also took T to Schnepf Farms to her first pumpkin patch. She thought it was really neat. She smiled and laughed the whole time. We got some really cute pictures of her there. Our friend Mandy also took some pictures of her last week in a pumpkin that I carved and with some cute Halloween decorations around her. They turned out so cute!!! A couple of weeks ago I went to a pottery painting place and ordered a special pumpkin with T's name on it and I custom painted it for her. It turned out really cute and it's her very own special pumpkin that she will always have. I love how it turned out!
A couple of days ago Rich and I took T to the park so she could swing in a real baby swing for the first time. She absolutely loved it! I knew she would since she has always loved her little baby swing. She had so much fun and I just love to see her so happy!

October 15, 2012 Almost 8 month's old
A lot has been going on lately. Firstly, Rich and I just got back from our first weekend away without Tatum. He and I went up to Sedona for a wedding of our friends, JT and Andy. It was a really fun weekend! We hiked, shopped, lounged around, and of course shared in wedding festivities. It was truly a great time but we missed T very much. She stayed the weekend with my brother and sister in law Charlie and Melissa. They took really great care of her and said they had a fabulous time with her. It was so hard to be away from her but it was really nice to get a break too. We felt really weird without her though. :)
The really big thing that happened today was that I walked out of T's room this morning for a minute and when I came back she was standing up!!!! I couldn't believe it!! It was the first time ever and now of course she has been doing it all day. She pulls herself up and then stands for a few seconds. She's pretty wobbly but I am so impressed that she's doing that already! She's not even 8 month's old yet so I think that's very impressive! Everyone is telling us that she will probably be walking by 10 month's. We will see.
At the beginning of the month, T started using a sippy cup for water. It's so cute! My little girl is growing up so fast. It's just funny all these little things just keep adding up to become big things. Little by little she gets bigger, stronger and more independent. It's all very exciting but at the same time I get so sad. On one hand I want to keep her my little baby forever but on the other hand I can't wait to see what/ who she becomes. I'm always excited for the next thing. I suppose it will always be like that. It's bittersweet to see your baby grow. It's wonderful and what they're supposed to do but you just want to keep them little and take care of them forever too. :)
Good news for me is that my medication is working and I am feeling a whole lot better! I'm not crying everyday anymore and I feel like some of the hurt and anxiety over Tatum's birth is slowly subsiding. It's so hard to verbalize what I have been feeling but I truly have had this heavy heart and it feels as though it's becoming lighter and lighter.
One crappy thing that happened last week is that I developed calcific tendonitis in my left shoulder and it is causing severe pain in my shoulder that radiates down my arm. The morning of the 9th I woke up with such severe pain that I couldn't lift my arm. My sister was so wonderful and came over to my house so that she could help take care of T. I couldn't even lift her, it was so awful. I got in with an orthopedic doctor and he gave me a shot of cortisone and it helped take the inflammation down and the pain subsided thankfully. It's been a crazy couple of weeks around here but fun nonetheless!
