We headed up North for Easter this year. Tanner even went on his very first Easter Egg hunt. We were able to spend time with our good friends. Brady and Kylee were very good at bringing toys to Tanner and Brady shared his blanket so that Tanner could take a nap. It was also nice to have a grown up dinner with Jaclyn and Erick to catch up. We spent lots of time with Grandma Mary, and Great Grandpa Katzenmeier kept up entertained all weekend. We were able to spend more time with Grandpa Mike and Grandma Linda as well. Overall it was a extremely busy but good trip.
Tanner decided he wanted to taste all the Easter Eggs which were decorated as sports balls. He even tried to eat his Easter basket. He loved the fact that the eggs made noise and were just his size to handle.
This was Tanner's Easter present from Grandma Mary. It is a turtle that opens up and can be used as a sandbox once he gets older. For now he has his own personal ball pit. He started out sitting up in the ball pit and then decided to lounge in it. He is very entertained and I think it will become even more fun once he is mobile. But for now he definately enjoys playing in his pit and keeps busy keeping an eye on Sosa to make sure he doesn't steal any of his balls.
Tanner's stuffed monkey from Grandma Carole for Easter was perfect for the long car ride. He chewed and pulled on every inch of his new toy, talking to it in the backseat. It definately made the car ride more fun and easier on Dad and Mom.
At the church Easter breakfast Tanner was able to spend time with his Auntie Kady. They had the important job of greeting all the breakfast eaters and giving them instructions on how to get all the yummy food.
The finished product! Tanner was quite proud of himself and the majority of the cereal actually ended up in his mouth.
Tanner's first bite of cereal from the spoon. He seemed to really like it!
After the first few bites, Tanner felt that he needed to help hold the spoon and get the cereal. This was when the mess began...
Tanner wasn't quite sure what to think of his sippy cup. He loved chewing on the spout but wasn't sure what to think when actual water came out.
This was when the water came out the first time. The face is the best part. He didn't pull it out right away but he would make the face and then suck and get more water out, followed promptly by making the face again. This cycle went on for a few minutes.
