Tanner ran his first 5K this weekend...


Before the race... with the Admissions crew.


At the start of the race...
Yes, I did run off the track and then ran back on the track, but don't worry - we walked the rest of the time. It took us an hour and 15 minutes... but we did not come in last. So that is pretty good. It was through Redwood Park and there were more hills and stairs than there were flat areas... I think we did pretty good.
YAY! Tanner's first race! It was a lot of fun, but I am a little sore. :)

Guess who is 6 months today?

Hard to believe that Tanner is 6 months old today. He is growing so fast and learning each and every day (as are we). These past months have been the best of our lives, so far. What a wonderful little guy. We love you more than words could ever explain! Happy Half Birthday little guy! :)


4 days old...

6 months old...

P.S. Tanner had his 6 month check-up yesterday. He is 20 lbs. and 1.5 oz. and 27 1/4 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile for weight and the 75th for height. He is growing big and strong. And he is doing great, according to his doctor. But we already knew that. :)

Thanks for visiting B!






It was so nice seeing you and spending time with you. We love you!

Update...

If I could ever figure out how to post videos, I would put some videos of Tanner up. We have several of him talking and telling stories. And one in particular of him laughing - it is so cute and so funny! It just makes me smile! He is getting so big. Hard to believe that on the 18th he will be 6 months already. Where did the time go?

Well, there have been some new experiences lately. Tanner had his first experience with rice cereal on Thursday night. He wasn't quite sure what to think of it, but that didn't stop him from eating all of it. We tried it again Friday night, and he did so good. Hardly spit any of it out. I think he likes it! We have video of these firsts also (I will post pictures soon. And again, once I figure out how to post video, I will post them).

He is constantly on the move. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts crawling soon. Right now he just rolls all over the place. It is so cute! If he sees something, or a toy that he wants, he finds a way to get to it. It is so much fun to watch. Also, my parents have a "walker" for him that he is starting to get the hang of. His feet just barely touch the ground, and he pushes himself backwards - he will be moving and grooving in no time.

Lastly, I have to share a story. The other night I was playing on the floor with T and I had "Jon and Kate plus 8" on. All of a sudden Tanner would just laugh out of the blue. Later, I realized that the kids on TV were playing with a balloon, and everytime they would bat the balloon, he would laugh. It was the cutest thing ever!

Well, hope all is well. Happy Monday everyone!

Handsome little man!

Thank you to Hayden's grandma...

Thank you to Aunt Kris! Too cute!
