Easter 2009

So, we definitely failed at our first year of egg dyeing. I had totally forgotten this artform from my childhood! We will do a better job next year! :) Wearing his onesie from Aunt C...hangin' with my peeps

Addisen's Birthday Party

With his sweet sister.

With Kerry's dad. He loved him! He held him almost the whole time.

Sleepy Tanner with Gigi

Cutie pie getting into her cake

Isn't she beautiful?

It was a fish themed party (Addisen loves fish!), so I got to paint a suncatcher for Tanner.

Getting ready to paint her fish.

We were thrilled to be invited to Addisen's 2nd birthday party. My mom and I took Tanner and had a great time. It was awesome to get to meet all of Addisen's family...and they were equally excited to get to meet Tanner. :)

Life and times of a big boy

Shopping with his best buddy (and cousin:)), Zachary. This was his first time in the stroller without his car seat!

First time in the front of the shopping cart, big boy style. He was SO about to fall asleep!

First time sitting in a high chair at a restaurant...one of Mommy's favorites, Sonny's.

In one of the outfits Amber gave him while we were in CA. Of course, it has a frog on it. :)

Grabbing flowers...followed by eating flowers.

He loves that walker.

Running for Daddy.

So, he loves carrying cold washcloths around in his mouth. I am hoping this is just a product of teething? :)

As Tanner quickly approaches the 7-month mark (can you BELIEVE it?!?!), I thought you guys might like to see what this big boy has been up to. He sure is getting big and FAST. He gets into everything. :) He smiles ALL the time, unless he is having a temper tantrum. :) He plays more and more every week. We are thrilled to say that he is going to sleep on his own, in his crib, and sleeping most of the night. He is only waking up once a night at this point. Tanner's new favorite foods are yogurt (LOVES it) and pear pineapple baby food. He also loves to drink water...from a sippy cup as long as you hold it for him! He is a little lazy when it comes to holding his bottle and cup. He really enjoys playing outside in his walker. He wears his sunglasses or his cute little fisherman's hat. He loves the warm weather.

So, there's a little update. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

One of his favorites these days...playing in the bathtub!

Tanner, with his "Gotcha Day" gifts from Mommy and Daddy. He was so excited! :)

We were so excited for this day to come! We had our finalization at the Pickens Co. Courthouse on March 12. It was awesome and we were so glad to have family and friends there with us.
