Yummy Plum

Tanner surprises me with what he eats. He won't eat bite-size pieces of anything but cereal, but he will eat a whole plum.

Not much going on

Tanner pulled himself up to standing for the first time yesterday. Don't know what is taking him so long to walk or even show interest in it. No big deal really though.

He likes to have our attention even when he can't see us. This is the bathroom door. Imagine sitting on the pot and seeing his little fingers appear underneath the door. It is pretty funny.

We found Tanner like this this morning. Bad angle for his double chin.

It is Nate and my 2 year anniversary this Sunday. HD and Brittany offered to watch Tanner. He loves hanging out with them, and pretty much anyone. He must have skipped the stranger anxiety stage.

Happy Birthday Tanner!

So, Tanner is 1 today. We didn't do any big party or anything just made a cake and had Paul and Paula over. No presents, just his car seat that we got a couple weeks ago. He won't remember or care anyway. I know, I am boring, Paula already told me, but oh well.
Tanner touched the ice cream and found it was cold so I decided to just skip using the hands,






but then he had a hard time, we so he just sucked it up and used them.


All done!

New Trick

My pork & beans boy

Always a mess letting him eat by himself.

Oh

no! not the hair!

Easiest way to clean up

He loves bath time. It is the only time he will drink from a cup on his own.

Dish washer

Like I said last time he even dances to the dishwasher. Here is a little video.


He got a little carried away and started banging his head, ignore my snort, I was trying to hold in a laugh.

Boppin'

Tanner dances to just about anything. This was the TV. He dances to the hymns at church, even the swishing of the dishwasher. It is pretty cute. He will stop if people start laughing or give him lots of attention. I took him to a work meeting and my boss's cell went of 3 times and it was an upbeat song. He danced to it everytime. Then after the meeting, he brought in a group of my co-workers and had someone call his phone just to watch him dance.

More Arizona

Tanner meeting Mitzi and Lexi. That is an apron on Mitzi, not a crazy skirt.

Nate and Tanner hanging out on the porch. We spent a lot of time out there just relaxing and chatting.
Tanner playing with the big boys. Tanner got a lot of attention. He had to "detox" from an overdose of attention when we got home. He had a hard couple of days when we got home.
Tanner with Pop.

We went for a bike ride and Tanner came along. He rod behind Matt. It was funny because we got on a dirt road and Matt said he looked back and little pebbles were pelting Tanner in the face. He didn't seem too bothered by it. I think he is used to getting hit in the face by sprinklers when we go for walks around the neighborhood.

Some of Arizona

Tanner with MeMama
Nate on a hike that I wish I went on. I stayed home with Tanner. Guess it was a pretty intense.
See all the dust? I guess we came during a big dust storm in Phoenix so there was dust all over.

The sunset is beautiful in Arizona. I fell in love with the place when we were there. Only thing I hated was the bugs.

Hanging out with Mitzi and Dan on the porch watching the "kids" (Matt, Dustin, Braden, Eric)play on bikes and stuff.
