Time to Lower the Crib!!

Since Tanner has now learned to go from laying down to sitting up, he's become even more curious/daring. Today I caught him on video pulling up in his crib. Guess we'll be lowering the mattress tonight in his crib!!!

My First Chomper!

So Tanner finally got his first tooth!!! The first sign of the tooth (bottom left) was on May 30, so ever since then it has been pushing it's way out. And let me tell you...that thing is sharp!! The only way that I was able to get a pic of the tooth was while he was sleeping. And just today I saw his second tooth (bottom right)! You really can't even feel it yet, but I would definitely think in the next day or so it should be pushed well enough through the gums.



Back on May 11, Tanner had his 6 month check up where we met his new doctor. He then weighed 14 lbs. 3 oz, had a head circumfrence of 16.5" and was 25 1/4" tall.

At six months we decided to start him on more solids than just cereal. So to date, he's tried: avocados (his fav), apples, pears, sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, bananas, green beens, peaches and rice cakes. He normally eats three solid meals a day, however he craves food all the time! If we happen to be eating and he's not, he'll start smacking his lips like he wants some! It's just too cute!!! We're trying to skip the whole sippy cup phase if possible. He does drink out of his sippy cup some but will take water from a regular drinking cup just as well.

Tanner has also discovered that he has hands and can move them! It's just the sweetest thing to watch him. He flips his over numerous times just amazed that he can do that! I would have thought the fascination with his hands would have come long ago since he's been grabbing and playing with things for months now..oh well I'm not going to try now to figure out a baby!!



Just recently, he started pulling up on us, pillows, etc. In addition, he can pull his knees underneath him and then either fall forward or go back to sitting position. Today he actually moved one knee forward...so he's really getting close to crawling! We're trying to savor these last few weeks of him being somewhat stationary.




Tanner is such happy baby!! I've included a video clip of when we were at Justin's parent's house for Mother's Day. Justin's mom was getting lots of giggles out of him!!

He also thinks that everything you have is his also..sunglasses, phone, computer, etc. Honesly he's just interested in anything!! We were getting ready for a garage sale last weekend, and we snapped a pic of him trying to get into the box of stuff that I was going through...too cute!



Below are just some of the recent pics taken since my last posting in May.
