9 Months and Counting...

Tanner is getting bigger and bigger! He is 9 months old now and is weighing in at 25 pounds. He is in the 97th percentile for weight and height, so he's in 18 month clothing! He is still a very happy and content baby and laughs all the time. He is trying very hard to crawl, though he is finding that rolling around gets him where he wants to go most of the time.

Here are a few photos from the last month or so...

Tanner loves his cherios...

Just playin' around...

This is the hat Memaw made Tanner - I think he looks like a little elf here... :)

Tanner got to go trick-or-treating in Indianapolis with his cousin Tate. Tanner was a monkey and Tate was Pablo from the Backyardigans.

All dressed up for church...

This was the last warm day of November. It was so nice out we stopped at the park down the street and Tanner got to play on the swing. He loved it!

Chillin' with Dad - he lets me have the remote!

Almost 8 Months...

Tanner is almost 8 months old already and he is doing great. Over the last couple months he has enjoyed his two top teeth growing in and he has experimented with different foods like prunes, carrots, sweet potatoes just to name a few. So far, he's like his mama, and he gags when he has to eat peas.

He is a very content baby and so he hasn't ventured too far on the floor yet. He's pretty content sitting or laying where he is, but he's still doing a rapid "swimmy" that will probably turn into a crawl soon.

Here are some pics of our little guy...

Having fun playing with some toys...

I love prunes!!!

Always smiling... :)

It's college football season -- Roll Tide!!!

So sleepy...

Just playin' in my jolly jumper - one of my favorite things to do!

6 Months (and a bit... sorry this is late)

Tanner is quite the little man and he has had a great summer. He is now up to a whopping 21 pounds and he has two bottom teeth! He's eating cereal and fruit along with his bottle and we've discovered that he actually enjoys prunes!

He's rolling over a bit and "swimming" on the floor, so I think crawling will be coming soon. He is also standing up when we hold his arms which is pretty cute.

He's developing quite a fun and happy personality - except of course when a toy is taken away from him like my cell phone, then you might see a few alligator tears, but other than that, he is a very happy and fun baby who laughs all the time.

Here are a few pics...

Fun in Myrtle Beach...

Tanner did not enjoy his first time in the ocean - the waves were pretty loud and scared him.

Just lazing on the beach...

Fun in Chicago...

At the Shedd Aquarium...

5 Months!!

Our little Tanner is 5 months old already. He really is the sweetest baby ever and we absolutely love spending time with him. He is laughing and smiling all the time, starting to try and blow bubbles and making all sorts of fun baby noises. He just started to roll over shortly after his 5 month birthday and he's fun to watch when he discovers that he has feet to play with! He is a blast!

My First Haircut...

Mom and Dad just couldn't handle my mullet anymore, so they brought out the hair clippers. It ended up a little crooked - but now people can see the back of my neck!!

My First July 4th!

Tanner had a great first July 4th weekend! We hung out with family in Michigan and enjoyed some great weather by the pool. He was so tuckered out by the end of the day he slept through all the fireworks!
