Wordless Wednesday

Another milestone...

Wordless Wednesday

8 Months Already....

Hard to believe our littlest peanut is 8 months old today!! He is so sweet and lovable! He is sitting up, but not making any real effort to crawl yet. He eats Cheerios like they are going out of style and can't get enough applesauce either!

Mostly he just smiles and sleeps. Both of which he just couldn't be any cuter doing.

And those other rugrats of ours aren't so bad either! Maybe we'll keep them all after all...

Wordless Wednesday Times Three

We can't believe he's 7 months old!

But, we're not as shocked as he is!!

Our little pumpkin is 7 months old today! Hard to believe that it's been that long since I was in so much incredible pain...which I will remind him of every chance I get!! OK...not really. I'm just not "that type" of mom. ;-)

Tanner is doing great. He is sitting up by himself and trying to attempt to roll over every now and again. He is loving hearing himself "talk" and has taken to randomly screeching as loud as he can - scaring me in the process! He is eating lots of baby food, but after a rough go at the Cheerios, we laid off and gave him a break on the solids. Hopefully it won't be too long until he gets the hang of it!

He still naps twice a day and continues to be a champion sleeper at night - usually in bed by 6pm (shut up Pongon's!) and up again around 7 or 7:30am. We are SO LUCKY in the sleep department. (Unlike the pregnancy department...I think we all would agree we TOTALLY SUCK at that! And again, by "we", I mean me! ;-)

Well, that's all the bragging I have for the little guy today! He continues to be the light of our lives and we firmly believe that he may indeed have hung the moon. Someday he'll talk and all that will go out the window, but for now, he's our perfect little dude. :-)

I think the evidence is clear...

I really don't think anything more needs to be said...

Tanner's First Cheerios

Not exactly a hit -

BREAKING NEWS!!!

This just in:

T.T.L.K. sits up on his own!! Repeat, baby is stationery and sitting up!!

Way to go, Little Dude!!

A Trio Full of Trouble

Tanner...in Tan

Build me a son, whose heart will be clear, whose goals will be high, a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men, one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget to weep, one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.

Tanner Update

Even though I wish I could stop time somedays, it just keeps marching on. I can't believe that it's been 5 months since Tanner joined us. They say you "forget the pain" of labor as a mom. It's been 5 months and the memory of the so-called "joyous occasion" is still sharp in my mind.

It would be a rare feat indeed to be able to forget staring certain death in the face and prevailing! (and yes, I did just compare natural-childbirth to a near-death experience...walk a mile in my shoes before you judge!)

Anyhoo - back to the precious bundle that was our gift 5 months ago today...he's a doll! He is doing all the things he's supposed to be doing - eating cereal, sleeping through the night, trying to sit up, napping when the mood strikes him, loving on his big sissy and brother, etc., etc., etc.

Anyone who knows me knows I am so NOT Competitive Mom, but the boy is d*mn near perfect as far as I can tell. I was holding Tanner the other day as I looked at Tucker's screaming face in the naughty corner and thought "THAT comes from THIS?" I think not! But, I do remember, there were those days when my sweet little Tucker was just a compliant noodle too...how I long for those days again....

I am enjoying this milestone as it is one that has no added trip to the doctor's office for shots too. 6 months won't be such a nice day!

In the meantime, I am just going to enjoy the heck out of the "no moving, no talking, no DRAMA" days. Lord knows we could use them around here!!
