Fall 2008








Trying banana's for the first time
















I promise, I really do like them!












What a face!











Tanner loves Paige's toys more than his own!












Messy face after eating rice cereal

















Milk? Who wants milk?














Paige loves to steal kisses just like Mommy and Daddy...











Best buds














Asleep after going to Mommy's volleyball game (he's our little mascot!)

Tanner having tummy time













Playing with his new star stacker







Watching Mommy blow bubbles....first time seeing those!




A first for Paige, too....we think she enjoyed them more!



Tummy surfing...he's wanting to crawl so badly!




Hello there!




Playing with his new gumball toy.





He actually is smart enough to press the lever (he's such a highly developed child!)







He loves his blankie friends (he's with his dog here, but he also has a frog!)




He can actually turn the water on and off in the kitchen sink. He's now having his baths there while the bathroom gets renovated.








Daddy's stubbles tickle!







Up close and personal in the jumperoo







Bouncing away in his new favorite toy...the jumperoo!






A lot of you had wanted to see this.....so here it is....Paige and the lobsters.....it was pretty funny :o)





Grammy Ragan and Tanner. Grammy spent the whole summer helping out Mommy and Tanner and we both really enjoyed it!!!








Daddy kissing Tanner goodnight.


Connecticut/Upstate NY camping trip July 2008


Sorry it's been awhile since our last post, but life's been busy! I've started back at work and have been trying to balance work, taking Tanner to and from daycare, and then everything else here at home with him here. Jeremy's been busy at work and he's also successfully gutted our entire hall bathroom! Hunting season just started up yesterday for him as well and he got a deer on opening day! Tanner just battled his first cold last weekend but is doing much better. Anyways...the whole family went up to Connecticut in July to visit with Jeremy's family and go to his friend's wedding (Martha-Anne and Brendan). We all then trekked up to upstate NY to Lincoln Pond to visit with even more friends and family. Here are some of the pics from that trip. Here is a picture of Tanner all snug for bed in his tent.



Uncle Mikey and Tanner.










Tanner in his lifejacket getting ready for his first trip out on Grandpa Brant's boat!

The whole Brant family.







Here's Tanner touching his toes!








Getting some loving from his Aunts (Ashley and Leandra). They absolutely adore their little nephew :o)







Great Grandpa Brant really loved spending time with Tanner.












Great Aunt Donna holding Tanner











Not too fond of the life jacket....











Jeremy and I holding Tanner right before we went to Martha-Anne's wedding. Tanner got some quality play time with his Grandma Brant!







Loving on Daddy :o)

Some more pics of 'Bugaboo'

Tanner continues to grow more and more each day! He is now starting to laugh a little, he's discovered his feet, he loves to mouth his hands, and he's grasping skills are improving, too! He is becoming more interactive with Mommy and Daddy, and strangers as well!














Tanner practicing standing and walking...he's been doing this since he was a couple weeks old...he's just getting better!

























Daddy's little 'Bugaboo'









Tanner really loves his baths! When you combine nakedness with water followed by a hoodie towel...this little man is in heaven!










Tanner loves to sit in his 'bumbo' chair like a big boy at the table when Mommy and Daddy eat.









Tanner's doing great with his head and neck control. He's able to push up on his forearms and lift his head up to an angle of 90 degrees.











Mommy and Tanner in matching pajamas!
