HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANNER!

December 21, 2011 - Tanner turned one! What a joy this little guy is to our family. He is a special little boy that is always making us smile and laugh. He has a little temper when he doesn't get what he wants but it is not hard to get him back to his typical happy self. He was walking by his birthday and has since taken off and there is no stopping him. He has transitioned to walk more than he crawls now and will even turn around and motion for you to follow him as he says, "come-on" in a super cute baby voice. Tanner loves playing with his toys and Matt loves to sit and watch him drive his trucks around or shoot baskets on his new little hoop. He also pretends to shoot you as he points his finger out and says, "pow." Tanner is full of energy and already knows how to tease his sisters and loves doing it. His favorite thing is to turn off the TV when they're watching a show. He dances around to music and loves animals. We watch Planet Earth together because I love when he points to the different animals and makes different noises and gets excited. He loves stuffed animals and will always smash them into the ground with his face as he loves on them and gives them hugs. He is Matt's little buddy and just like the girls has a special relationship with his dad. He also makes mom feel special by snuggling up to her daily. Tanner has been the perfect addition to our family and we are so very lucky to have this happy, fun-loving little guy in our family. Happy birthday, Tanner!! We all love you so much.

Our busy little guy. He loves to 'help' grandma vacuum and chase around the hose.

Tanner made his daddy very happy when he pushed away his cake and insisted on eating ice-cream for his birthday.
