New "tricks"!

Tanner is amazing! I know most parents think their child is amazing, but he is. :) Tanner has taken a liking to putting his toys away when he is done playing with them. It is the cutest thing ever. I guess showing him and talking to him about picking up after ourselves was actually worth it. Not only does he put his toys away in the living room, but also in the bath tub when we are done. Too cute!

Lately, his "cleaning up" skills have taken a new level. He will put anything, and I mean anything, in the garbage can. It is soooo cute! He puts the magnets in the garbage, his blocks in the garbage, his paci in the garbage and his sippy cup in the garbage. Although I don't enjoy digging everything out and cleaning it up, it still makes me laugh. Lately, he has been cleaning the bedroom too. He takes my shoes and puts them in my bedside table drawers. It is hilarious! Don't worry, I have it on video. If I could ever figure out how to post videos I would share. He cracks us up. I guess it is time to teach him the big cleaning skills... like sweeping, dusting and mopping. :)

Watching him learn and explore is amazing. It makes us wonder what we ever did before Tanner was a part of our lives. He is so entertaining. We are having so much fun!

Guess who took his first steps today?

Our little man is growing up so fast. I came home from work today to find Nate and Tanner playing on the floor (a pretty normal occurance). However, this time Nate had a funny look on his face. I wasn't sure what was going on, so I just sat down beside them and started playing too. Next thing I knew... Tanner took between 4-5 steps to me! I couldn't believe it! I was so excited and happy for him! I am so proud. I can't believe it... our little man is now walking. Now I know what the smirk was all about. ;)
