Family Pictures

And couple weeks ago, we had Brennen's sister snap and few family pictures for us. Some came out pretty good considering we used my cell phone as s camera!

Tanner @ 4 Months

I can’t believe how fast time is going!  My little man will be 4 months old on Wednesday! Where did my little baby go?  Here are some fun/not so fun facts of our little Tanner boy:

·        Likes to jabber, especially during diaper changes

·         Tries to scoot away during diaper changes

·         Likes to whine…a lot!

·         Isn’t easily entertained

·         Sleeps through the night

·         LOVES bathtime!

·         HATES PHX Suns games

·         Started eating rice cereal

·         LOVES his Daddy!

·         Likes to sit up straight and stand

·         Can sit in a highchair

·         Can roll from back to front

·         Wears size 3 diapers

·         Is starting to grow out of 0-3 mo. Clothes

·         So wiggly and squirmy!

·         Always has to see what’s going on

·         Gets pouty/cries when other babies are crying

·         Loves to watch our fish tank

·         Loves his aunt Meaghan and uncle Dustin

·         Is ticklish on his neck and feet

·         Still spits up, but is better than he used to be

·         SLOBBERS ALL OVER!

·         His favorite food is fingers

Being a mom can be frustrating.  Like when he gets really whiny after 30 minutes of being awake, or when he slobbers all over my hand, or pukes all over his clean outfit (why is it the cute outfits that get puked on immediately, but nothing comes up when he’s wearing just a onsie?!).  But, I just have to remember that he doesn’t know any better, can’t control it, and that I love him more than anything in the world! 

Backtracking

I figured, for the sake of keeping a record, to backtrack a little.  Those of you who follow me on Instagram probably have already heard about all these events/seen all these pictures, but here they are again. I will warn you, I uploaded 78 pictures.  #sorrynotsorry

This picture is just to show how tiny he used to be!  I feel like at 3 months, he already is outgrowing his carseat!

This was from Tanner's first airplane ride! He was such a good little traveler!  He slept the whole time we were at the PHX airport and all the way from SLC to Idaho.  

First time airplane selfies!

Earning his first set of wings!

Meeting uncle Wyatt for the first time!

I LOVED these little monkey feet PJ's!  Couldn't get enough!

This was taken on my first day completely alone with the little guy.  I had help for pretty much a month and a half straight

A friend and I took Tanner to the PHX Zoo.  He slept through the whole thing!

Love this little suit we got on clearance from Target! Too Cute!

This was the worst day ever.  I remember it clearly.  He only slept for a total of 20 minutes all. day. long.  I was at my wit's end.  I ended up taking him for a ride in the car around 10 pm, and calling my mom in tears.

There was a week or two when he never wanted to leave my arms.  I was getting nothing done during the day.  Brennen told me I should just put him in his bouncer..thus this picture ensued.  

I have a weakness for collared button-down shirts.  Especially if they are teeny-tiny.

Oh, the poop picture.  At Tanner's two-month check up, I had to strip him down to a diaper for his examination.  Then I was allowed to put his onsie back on, but I had to leave his pants off because he was getting shots.  The MA took FOR.EV.ER to give him his shots, and while we were waiting, he pooped.  And it oozed out the legs of his diaper.  I kind of went into panic mode since I had poop all over my pants and the chair we were sitting on.  I did my best to clean it up and then set him on the exam table to change him.  While I was in the process of getting the clean diaper on, he managed to pee all over the exam table.  And THEN the MA came in.  I looked at her with distress and said, "Um, I need a minute."

This is Tanner's cousin, Bowser.  We got to watch him for a few days while his mom and dad were out of town!

This kid loves  his daddy.  And sticking out his tongue.

It's a never-ending battle with the pacifier leash!

I love that my little boy is such a snuggler!  I will take all the snuggles I can get!

A lady at my work made this little cocoon! It never really fit him until now, and we had to get some pics of him in it for the Super Bowl!

Just chillin at the pool.  He wasn't a fan of the cold water, though.

About a month ago, I couldn't figure out why Tanner wouldn't stay asleep anymore.  I noticed that he would flail his arms a lot in his sleep, and would often wake himself up.  Lucky for me, I had some swaddle blankets, and viola! Thanks be to my friend Nycole for showing me an easier way to swaddle.

No kid loves bathtime  more than this one.  I am pretty sure he looks forward to it every day and thinks it's bathtime every time I change his diaper.

This picture was taken after he pooped on my bedsheets.  It seems that everytime he poops, it's a blowout.

Trying to roll over! Almost got it!

 Hopefully someday I will have a girl...

His room.  Ignore the marks on the wall and terrible dry-wall job.  They aren't very fancy here.

Because, let's face it.  NOBODY's kid is smiling or asleep all the time.

More mom and son selfies!

It's a hard life.

Tanner is a back scooter.  He was on the mat, but scooted himself all the way off.

We have this cool golf place where you hit golf balls into targets for points.  It's pretty cool.

I did this puzzle all by muself..almost.  Brennen helped a little bit.

Remember my first picture? See how big he's gotten?!  Slow down, little one!  Valentine's Day walk to Daddy's school.

Well, if you insist!
