Tanner-rama-ding-dong

I seriously have The. Cutest. Baby. EVER...and I can't believe I haven't been better at posting about him. I have SO many pictures and videos I have been wanting to share so this post will be a major Tanner update. Oh...and a little update about my weight loss. There's a lot to say about the work we've been doing on our house, too, but I am saving that for Nate to blog about (hint hint, Nate...hurry up... :D).

Tanner has learned how to give kisses. It is so funny...he opens his mouth as WIDE as possible and sucks on your cheek leaving plenty of slobber behind.Tanner loves to play with his Daddy. They have fun together and sometimes Tanner outlasts Nate with his never ending energy and spunk.
But when he crashes, he crashes hard! So tired from crinkling that paper all up!Tanner has made peace with his bath time and loves the warm splashy water.He is getting so strong and is even able to stand by himself for a few seconds when holding onto the furniture.

As I mentioned earlier, we've been working on our house a lot which has taken a little time away from our sweet boy but he's been such a trooper! He's spent a lot of time hanging out with me while I work as he sits in his high chair with toys.

Here he is sitting with his giraffe (literally, as he pulled it in the seat next to him) and enjoying a little "finger food". Peeking at mommy.

Playing with Elmo and Giraffe.

Getting sleepy and resting his head but still smiling for the camera.
Getting really sleepy.
Sucking on a pea pod. He loves to "eat" (even though he's not eating anything) big people food.

Here are a bunch of videos. I edited them to try and keep them short so they weren't boring but you know how parents can be...everything is cute to me so it still might be boring. I hope you enjoy!

Tanner vs. Carrot

Tanner vs. Apple

(He originally did this without Nate knowing it...sneaky! Then we saw it and grabbed the camera)

Tanner's first taste of rice cereal. He literally LUNGES at his food!

He loves to laugh at mom which is good cause I love to make him laugh. When he really gets laughing he ALWAYS gets the hiccups like in this video. So cute!

No night night! Tanner has learned to shake his head!

I was making that noise to try to get him to talk to me cause he likes to imitate it but he was too tired.

Okay, so there's my Tanner update. He is such a fun and good baby. He brings so much joy to our lives!

Now for the update on my weight loss. I have been feeling so good lately and I really wanted to get some new clothes that would actually fit. So a while back I went on a shopping spree and bought a bunch of new clothes for the new thinner me. Well, I unfortunately jumped the gun and went shopping too soon. Only a few weeks after I purchased a whole lot of new clothes, they were baggy and didn't fit well anymore. I guess that's a good thing because I'm still losing but I really didn't think I would go down another size. So anyway, I had Nate take a few more pictures so I could show my progress.
