Let's Go Fly a Kite

Kite-flying days here are few, so when the wind picked up we took advantage and flew the Cinderella kite that has been chilling in the trunk of our car for a while.  It was super fun!

Tanner @ 9 months

I can't believe my little guy is 9 MONTHS OLD.  Where has the time gone? I'll have a one-year-old in 3 months.  That's crazy talk.  We also got a new camera. A nice one. THAT was a freaking fiasco. Anyways, I thought I'd snap some pics of him being him and doing what he loves.

•  Crawls like crazy, pulls himself up on things, stands on his own for a few seconds.

•  Likes to play with doors, cupboards, drawers, etc. Anything that moves.  Likes to shut the door on us.  

•  Loves to discover and put new things in his mouth.  This was him checking out the camera.

•  Loves to play with his train (because it moves), piano, and singing hammer.

• Eats baby food, Gerber Puffs, Yogurt Melts, and 'lil Crunchies. Has started eating real human food like rice and waffles.....and ice cream....and brownies, and oreo-stuffed chocolate chip cookies.
• Loves to facetime Grandmas and Grandpas.
• Wears size 4 diapers and 9 month clothes
• His best friend is Bowser the Bearded Dragon--and daddy.
• Says "Dadadadada"
• No teeth
• Gets compliments on his big blue eyes wherever he goes
• Doesn't like you to hold his hands or arms
• Getting dressed is a nightmare.
• Would totally go commando if it was up to him.

We love this little dude! It is so fun to see his personality come out! He is such an independent little guy, never wants you to do anything for him (except give him food and love!).  He brings such a sweet spirit into our home.  He loves to play with daddy and thinks he's hilarious.  His big, wet, slobbery kisses are the best, and he isn't stingy with them! Love our Tan Man!

Tanner @ 6.5 months

Sorry I never did a 6 month post. Tanner will actually be 7 months next week, but I thought I'd get the post out of the way now while I have the time. Where has my baby boy gone? I want to cry, he is growing up so fast! I was holding him the other night and felt like I was holding a 16-year-old. Thanks goodness I'm not that old yet :) At 6.5 months Tanner:
•loves to jump and swing in his jumper
•can almost sit unsupported
•loves bananas and carrots
•can't crawl, but can turn himself 360°while on his tummy
•no longer sleeps swaddled! (Aka baby straight jacket)
•loves to play peek-a-boo
•loves to listen to mom whistle and sing "You are My Sunshine"
•Still loves Aunt Meaghan and Uncle Dustin (and is SUPER excited they are moving into our Ward!)
•no teeth yet
•loves to snuggle blankets and sleep on his side
•not so much of a drool monster anymore
•eats his toes

We love our Tanner! Sad to see him grow up so fast. Brennen is ready for another newborn...ha! Nope.
