Christmas update

We had a wonderful first Christmas with Tanner. We went up to Greenville on Saturday and spent time with Jay's family. On Saturday night Van and Emma Jo came over to eat with us. As you can see, Tanner and Van were instant friends. On Sunday evening we exchanged gifts with Jay's family. Tanner got some great gifts from everyone. He is very fond of Baby Tad, a gift from Andy and Karen. He also received a John Deere riding toy from Gram. It will be a while before he can use it but I know he looks forward to it. We returned home on Christmas Eve and were anxiously waiting for Santa. We went over to my parents house for some holiday fun. Santa came to see Tanner on Tuesday morning. He was speechless about all of his gifts....as you can imagine. We then spent the day over at my parents house with my family. Overall, it was a wonderful holiday and we look forward to the future. Thanks to everyone for the gifts.

Happy Birthday Aunt Kiki and Kari

We would like to wish Aunt Kiki and Kari a Happy Birthday! We have enjoyed spending the holidays with you, Drew and Jackson. We are glad you guys are feeling better. We look forward to a birthday celebration, with cocktails for Mommy. :)

We will post some holiday pictures later this week. We hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday.

Merry Christmas

We wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. We are leaving for Greenville today to visit with Gram. I have attached a few pictures of Tanner from yesterday. He got his rain boots as a gift and with the weather being so nasty, they came in handy.

Congratulations to Caroline and Walks

We would like to congratulate Caroline and Walks on the birth of their son. Tanner is so excited to have another friend to play with. We are glad everyone is doing well and look forward to meeting him.

Snuggle buddies

Every morning when Tanner wakes up he comes to get in bed with us to snuggle. I went downstairs to get his medicine and when I came back up Tanner and Jay were asleep. I had to take a picture of them because they looked so cute.

Today Tanner is 7 weeks old. We have noticed him cooing, smiling and semi laughing. It is so fun to have some interaction with him. Everyday is something new and exciting.

Camo

Daddy came home from hunting yesterday and was hanging out with Tanner. He went upstairs to change Tanner's dirty diaper and Tanner came back down in this outfit. I think it will be a couple of years before he joins daddy in the woods but I know Daddy looks forward to it.

6 Weeks old

I can not believe that Tanner is 6 weeks old today. It has gone by so fast. He is really growing everyday and is looking more like a little man. He is starting to smile. We are not sure if he even knows that he is doing it or if he just has gas. Of course, we think he is responding to us.

We are looking forward to warmer weather this weekend to get out and do some strolling. Tanner loves to be outside and it is an easy way for me to exercise.

Decorating the Tree

Jay, Tanner and I decorated the Christmas tree this past weekend. Tanner has such a good time looking at the lights. Daddy thought it would be a good idea to make Tanner the tree topper but Mommy did not approve.
