Solids and Easter

On Saturday, Tanner got to try solids for the first time. He is still trying to get used to the texture.

Easter started with Tanner getting his first Easter basket, inside was a toy, little bunny, 2 books and a Veggie Tales video which he absolutely loved. We then went to Pop's and Nonnie's for lunch but spent the first part of that time in the closet. Tanner has spent more time in the closet at Nonnie's this time I was in there with him. After that we went to DenDen and Mimi's where Tanner slept the whole time and only really got to spend the last hour with them, good thing they will see him three times this week.

4 Months and growing!!!

Tanner had his 4 month Dr. appointment on Friday and wow is our boy growing. Now when Tanner was born he was 5lbs 8oz and 18 inches long, 4 months later the little monkey is 13lbs 12 oz and 24 1/2 inches long. He is now in the 75th percentile in height and in the 25th percentile in weight. The Dr. was absolutely amazed at how tall he has gotten, Chris was thrilled too because now he has hope that Tanner won't be vertically challenged like me. The heart murmer that she thought she heard at 2 months was gone, and we get to start foods. What an exciting time. On Tanner's 4 month Birthday the 20th of April he rolled from tummy to back, he is right on schedule and Chris and I couldn't be happier.

We are very excited to be celebrating his first Easter and can't wait to put him in the adorable Easter outfit Mimi bought him. Pictures will be posted tomorrow I am sure. Chris and I have learned that we are no longer the "important" people in the grandparents and great-grandparents life. Tanner got a Easter card from Granny and Gramps this week and inside was $20, wow, this kid has more money that we do already!!! I am glad he is loved.

More tomorrow I am sure.

3 but really 4 Month Pictures

Crash, Boom, Bang, "Say Cheese"

This week was very uneventful until Friday...

At about 6:00am I was feeding Tanner and heard a large crash then boom and bang, 10 minutes later Chris comes limping into the bedroom grimincing. I asked if he fell and he nodded and then I asked how? Apparently something was wrong with our garage door do Chris got the ladder and was trying to fix it when the ladder slipped, Chris came tumbling down ontop of my car mirror. Needless to say my mirror is thankfully the only thing broken. Chris has a few cuts and bruises but is thankfully okay. So I am driving around with a broken driver side mirror until next Saturday when we have a appointment to get it fixed. Oh I wish we had another car!!!

Saturday was picture day for Tanner. Chip Sprague the awesome photographer who did Chris and my maternity pictures came to the house and did Tanner's 3 month pictures (Tanner is actually 4 months, but a wise friend told me to do 3 month later). Tanner is normally a very happy baby, but Saturday he woke up on the wrong side of the crib. I knew at 6:00am pictures at 10:00am were going to be difficult. Tanner did okay, was a bit crabby but toughed it out. I didn't know if we were going to get any good pictures until Chip sent me 10 of his favorites on facebook Sunday morning and told me that we will probably have 50 good pictures. Amazing!!! Can't imagine what we would have gotten if Tanner was in a good mood. (Pictures to follow, or go on facebook to see the 10 favorites)

So the week ended and we made it through another week, barely!!!

Oh what a Week!!!

This week started with Tanner in a closet at Nonnie's house. We had some horrible storms come through. When I told Nonnie to put a helmet on him this is what she did. I believe this is Pop's bike helmet. Everything came out okay, and Nonnie even said Tanner laughed while they were in the closet waiting for the horrible storm to pass.

I was super Aunt this week as well. I had to pick up Emilie on Monday because they had no after-care because no electricity and then another day during the week I had to pick Scott up because Shan was stuck in traffic. Thank goodness Ms. Shannon was home to watch Tanner so I didn't have to take him in the school, so on Saturday Chris and I had to go to a party and Aunt Keri, Uncle Shan, Emilie and Scott babysat (they owed me), I think he was good, but no one will tell me the truth.

On Sunday, Tanner went to his first sporting event (even though Chris didn't want him too) Emilie's soccer tournament. It was really hot, but Tanner did awesome as did his cousin Emilie. The girls on the team really took a liking to him and I think he was their good luck charm as they won!!!

Week 2 Complete

I don't plan on doing an update of each week but week 2 of me at work is done and we are getting ready for the next week. Tanner did great again at both grandparents. I think that they are really enjoying having the little man around. Apparently some grandparents are even doing cheers for the little man (MiMi) and making the other grandparent (DenDen) a little jealous that he doesn't get cheered to. We are so blessed that Tanner gets to stay with family and doesn't have to do daycare. He has had a little stomach bug this week, not really sure what is wrong, but the diaper pail is being filled to put it nicely. Otherwise he is very happy. The greatest thing is that you can see his little mind really thinking and wanting to do things. He really wants to grab things and you can see his little mind thinking how to get them, soon I tell him you will reach it soon. Below is the picture of the week, this is an outfit that my boss and his wife got Tanner. I was just happy that he was able to wear it. Will update next weekend or sooner if Tanner does something amazing!!!
