Winter 2009

Tanner has done a lot of growing this winter! He has 5 teeth with more on the way, he's taking 3 or more steps at a time, and he started up swim lessons!

Laughing like a fiend.












Tanner just does not want to keep his socks on!

Look! I'm swimming on my belly!

Laughing at Daddy, man is he funny!

I'm just all smiles!

Playing with Paige

Hey there!

Orange face after eating his carrots

I even look cute when I'm messy!

Hahaha!

Look! I have big boy shoes so I can walk around outside (whenever it's nice)

I'm Superman! I can move the baby gate!
