Tanner's 1-year stats!

Tanner had his 1-year old big boy check-up today. He is 24 lbs. and 15 oz. and 31 inches long. He is in the 78th percentile for weight and the 83rd for height. He is growing so big and strong. And he is doing great, according to his doctor. But we already knew that. :)

When the doctor came in, Tanner was shy at first (I know, our Tanner shy, I don't think so), but then he warmed up. He was very curious about everything he was doing. Tanner was showing the doctor that he can share, was walking around the room, and talking to him. It was pretty cute. Though he screamed when he got his four shots, our little man is a trooper. We are so proud of him.

It was truly amazing going to this appointment. I felt like we were just there for his two-week check-up with this brand new baby and here we are letting our little man walk into his one-year appointment. Man how time flies! We are still so in love...

Tanner's 1st Birthday Party!

What do you think... my very first Elmo cupcake cake? Not too bad. :)

And a special #1 cake for Mr. T!

It was a little overwhelming for him...

So we gave him a cupcake instead.





It is just so exciting!

I am so happy all my family and friends were able to come.

Thank you so much for my singing Elmo! That is exactly what I wanted!

Some of my friends...






Tanner trying to get around in heels... thanks Keely!

One cool baby!

And after a wonderful day... this is how it ended. :)

Thank you so much to everyone! We had such a great day! XOXO

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

My dearest baby boy,

Words cannot express the love I have for you.
The poem says it best...

Before you were conceived, we wanted you.
Before you were born, we loved you.
Before you were an hour old, we would die for you.
This is the miracle of love.

From the moment I met you, you amazed me. Today, on your 1st birthday, you still amaze me... more than you will ever know. Thank you for blessing my life. I love you!

XOXO,
Mommy


Dearest Tanner-
Your first year of life has been one of the best years of my 30. It has been an absolute blessing to be a part of your picture show. Keep the laughs coming. You'll never walk alone. I love you too! (Mommy stole my line!)
