Tanner Update

So really, I am trying to keep this blog updated but finding the time to sit down and do it doesn't always happen. Tanner is growing so quickly and changing so much that I wanted to share with everyone all the new adventures we are on. First tanner has teeth. He has had his two bottom front for a few months now but he is now working on the four front top teeth. Lately he has been exploring what his teeth can do...kisses very quickly turn into chomping with a sneaky little smirk on his face and everything. He is walking/running everywhere and always wants to be on the move, besides the rare occasion when he stops to watch other kids, especially if they have a ball. What can I say, we have an active, adventurous, curious, explorer on our hands. Below is a picture of Tanner's new chair. It is just his size and he is in love.



Tanner loves the camera and most the time I can't get pictures because he wants to see the screen behind the camera with the picture of him on it. Today we were playing around and he came at the camera with one of his numerous expressions. I love it! He definitely keeps us on our toes and his expressions are priceless.


Due to the 2 hours of snow that we received today, school was cancelled for me and Tanner and I stayed home and played. He loved hearing the snow crunch under his feet and just kept walking around and around in circles.


Tanner walking in the snow in the front yard. Tanner would have stayed outside all day long. He was quite upset when it was time to come inside and warm up.


Once inside we pulled out a new toy that had been in his closet. Much to my surprise, he actual took the bat and tried to hit the ball. He used more of a chopping than swinging motion, but I am sure under Dad's coaching he will get there.


Well, that's us or Tanner anyways. Tyler just finished his coaching season and is staying busy at work. I am now interim director at the preschool and have been staying busy teaching night classes for an Adult Degree Program. We are looking forward to summer where our lives might slow down a bit and we can spend lots of time outside and on the river as a family.
