Tanner is 9 Months Old!

Tanner is 9 months old.  He is a very busy baby.  He rolls and does the army crawl to get to his destination.  His army crawl is pretty funny.  He keeps his left arm bent and pulls his body with that arm while his right arm reaches forward.  He'll get up on his hands and knees but goes back to his belly when he tries to move. 

 He loves eating Cheerios, and baby puffs.  He's getting better at picking them up and putting them in his mouth.  He doesn't love his vegetables but he still eats them, most of the time.  He loves all fruit!!!  We're still eating mostly baby food.  The doctor said to add more "table food" to his diet so we can eventually wean him off baby food.

He doesn't cry anymore when the bottle is all gone.  He's really good to go down for a nap.  If he's really tired, he'll fall asleep in my arms.  But if he doesn't do that, then I put him in his crib after his bottle and a story and then he plays in his crib for a few minutes and then eventually falls asleep.  When he wakes up, he plays with his stuffed animals in the crib.  He has Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Goofey, yellow duck and the fisher price puppy that sings.  He's figured out how to turn on the music. 

  He is so happy when he wakes up in the morning or from a nap.  When I get him out of the crib, I'll say "where's Sophie?"  When he sees Sophie, he starts to laugh, or if Matt is home and is in bed, he starts to laugh when he sees him.  It's so cute.  He loves his blanket.  When I take him out of his crib, he tries to hold onto the blanket and take it with him.  He still likes to put the blanket over his head when he's sleeping!!!  It makes us so nervous!  We try to pull it down, but when we go back in it's over his head.

By the end of our short photo session, Tanner was melting down.  Luckily the boys came home from school and tried to make Tanner happy.  It's so sweet to see how much Chase and Bridger love Tanner.  They love to spend time with him.  They still fight over who gets to hold him, and kiss him.  They're great big brothers!!!

Tanner goes all over in his zoomer (walker).  He's quite fast in it.  His little legs remind me of the Flinestones.  We've been spending a lot of time outside because the weather has been so nice.  Tanner gets excited when he sees Lizzy, our cat.  I love the picture of Tanner on the grass.  He doesn't like the feel of grass.
