Lots of Randomness

The last couple weeks there has been a lot of changes in Tanner's life and ours. He is growing so fast, way too fast, but it is absolutely awesome watching him learn and do new things. We have started solids (previous post), starting to grab at things, sitting pretty well with a little help, and really want to stand (I know pretty crazy). So this post is pictures and videos of just a bunch of Tanner's randoms over the last couple weeks.

For Mother's Day Chris bought me a smaller camera which I love because I can take it everywhere. I put it in the diaper bag daily and have told both sets of grandparents to please capture Tanner when I am not around to do so. They don't tell me when they take pictures so it is really a true treat when I download the pictures and see the pictures from his days with his grandparents. This was a day at Nonnie's, Tanner and Bogie hanging out on the floor in Nonnie's room.

Tanner likes to lay in our bed while I get ready in the morning. He sits there and watches me get ready.

Tanner is teething so one of his favorite things now is to eat a frozen bananna from one of the coolest inventions ever. We have to take off any clothes and go just diaper because it can get pretty messy.

Tanner is getting to the point where he really doesn't want to be laying down, so we have the exerciser and the Johnny Jumper. Johnny Jumper is really a new experience for him, this was the first day in Johnny Jumper.

All of this growing has worn out my two boys...

The ZOO!!!

This was the first weekend in a long time we didn't have "something" scheduled, it was so nice. Tanner enjoyed it I think just as much as Chris and I did. We started the morning with some cartoons. I can't believe how much he gets mesmerized by them (we will definitely have to monitor his TV watching)

Tanner is really enjoying his "play gym" He is getting so big. Chris took Wylie to the vet and then after that we decided to take our first trip to the zoo!!!

Nope this isn't our little Monkey, but the Monkey's at the zoo were very vocal, Tanner tries to compete with them but they win with the screaming!

Tanner and I tempted to try to get pictures with the meerkats but they weren't anywhere around the hole.

Tanner was very good and stayed awake the whole time. He amazes me at how he can stay so happy with such little sleep (definitely not like his mommy). We actually ended the day believe it or not with buying a new car and Tanner was awesome the whole time. It was a great weekend of not "having" to be anywhere!!! We ended up getting a zoo membership which I believe we will use the heck out of.

Wedding Marathon

My family has always known how to party, but this past weekend my Aunt and Uncle threw a great party/wedding. My cousin Christie and Dave finally got married this weekend in the sink hole (prettiest sink hole) at my Uncle and Aunt's house. Christie and Dave actually started dating when Chris and I began dating oh about 13 years ago, granted they were both still in high school. So anyway Friday night we had the rehearsal dinner and then Saturday morning was the brunch and then wedding that night. Tanner attended both the rehearsal and the brunch, but the night of the wedding was for Chris and I. He was so perfect at both events he went too, we are truly blessed. Anyway it was a wonderful and yes tiring weekend.

1st Mother's Day

It has been long time waiting for me to celebrate Mother's Day as a Mom, and I can't believe I finally got too. It was disappointing that Chris wasn't able to share the weekend with me due to the Smyrna Air Show, but I had the best time with my little man. I was so excited to be able to share this day with my Mom who is my true inspiration. She has been a great role model and I hope and pray that I am half the Mom she is. I am so blessed to have my Mom and so many other great Mom's as role models!!! So I guess I am thanking all those Mom's that have touched my life and made me the Mom I am today. You all know who you are and I love you tons!!!!
