No Doubt About it....

It's another BOY! We are thrilled to announce baby boy Lucas arriving the end of August. We are very happy for this new addition. (Mom will really be out numbered). I hope that these boys will be good companions. Tanner is very helpful now, and I know he'll show Lucas the ropes. Here's a few shots of our sweet new boy.

Lions, & Tigers, & Bears... Oh My!

Last week we went to the zoo with some friends. Tanner enjoyed seeing all the animals, but when it came to the stroller he was the animal. He hated being strapped down because he wanted to walk everywhere. Unfortunately if I let him do that he might end up in the elephants pen like his mom once did. (Yes I was 5 yrs old when I leaned too far over the fence and fell in the elephants pen. And no I was not harmed :) Tanners favorite animals were the tiger and bear. He thought they were hilarious because they both were loud and moving. The bear was banging on the door of it's cage (probably because he was hungry; it was around lunch time), and Tanner couldn't stop giggling. Tanner also enjoyed the carousel ride. He rode on the panther and it was a total hit! Here are the few snapshots I got of the day.

15 Months

It seems that Tanner has grown so much in the last few months. He is now walking around unassisted, climbing on everything (including our ladder), and eating enough food for a grown man. This once little preemie is now a busy toddler. Tanner keeps us very busy. He LOVES to be outside and knows how to open the screen door to the backyard. Occasionally I'll find him in the backyard without even knowing it! Tanner is also very helpful; sometimes a little too helpful. He enjoys following me around all day and makes it difficult to get things accomplished. He loves to hand anyone his toys or shoes. Tan enjoys playing with cars, balls, rocks, and anything that mom says he shouldn't have. He is definitely boy - nothing is too dirty, disgusting, or hard for him to do or try. Nevertheless we love our sweet Tan Man. Here are a few pictures my mom took of Tanner when we went to UT a few weeks ago; too cute!
