Happy Birthday Brad!


We had a lovely relaxing night for Brads birthday. Tanner enjoyed his presents the most...at least until they were unwrapped.

Funny Things

It seems like everyday Tanner does at least one thing that I cannot stop laughing about, and so I thought I would record a couple of them. p.s. These might only be funny for his parents.

1. Yesterday after Tanner took a 30 min nap and Brad took a 15 min nap in Primary they were both woken up needing more sleep. I had to go to a meeting that afternoon, so we got home ate and Brad we left with the hope of more sleep. When i got home this is the story I heard...

Well I rocked Tanner, but he wouldn't go to sleep so I put him in his crib and just let him cry. After he stopped I went into check on him and found him standing naked in his crib after having wet all over the bed.

I can only imagine the sight. So when I got home I found the mattress sitting on the ground with a towel on it and Brad telling me- I think that most of the water is from the water that he snuck into his crib (there was a sippie near by). Don't worry I knew better. I have also been told these stories aren't as funny come child #3 or 4.

2. Every morning when I have breakfast after feeding Tanner he thinks that it is for him also- and I love sharing. If I have cereal he will run and grab his own spoon and dig in. Today he would get some cheerios on his spoon set it on the ground and then eat out of it without any hands. He thinks that he is very tricky doing this- after that to put his binkie in his mouth he would set it down and get it without any hands. We see this trick often, but I thought the spoon part of it was hilarious.

3. Tanner doesn't mind going to sleep at night and usually gets rocked by his dad (as we have been trying to stop the nursing habbit) and Tanner is not always the biggest fan. There are some nights where he really wants me to put him down (and I love this because most the time he gets in Brad's arms and refuses to come to me). One night he just ran over sat on my lap and started waving to Brad saying, "bye bye."

4. At Target we were looking at the treat bowls and there was one where the had will reach down at you when you put yours in. Tanner tried it and scooted right next to me say "ooh, no." He then took the bowl from me and put it back on the shelf.

5. It is funny to see the learning of little babies- especailly when two words are very similar. Tanner thinks that every fruit is an apple and he grabbed a lime out of the fridge and said apple. I told him it was a lime and said, "roar," like a lion- they are kind of similar, but now in his mind their is a fruit that growls. Another one was while we were in Sandpoint. Tanner knows the sign for tree and loves to point them out to everyone and at my Dad's house there are a lot, and there are also trains. When Tanner first heard the train I told him what it was and from that point on when ever he saw a tree or heard a train he would do the sign. Who knew that trees could be so noisy.

6. This video is so cute and shows some of Tanners funny things. He figured out what a dog says and what cookie says from hearing them and so I think that they are especially funny.

Sandpoint

On September 17-23 Tanner and I went to visit my Dad and Grandparents in Sandpoint. It was a nice break from the heat and we loved visiting everyone. Tanner LOVED the entire trip and I put up some of his favorites. One of his favorites that I don't have a picture of is his new love of smashing. My dad taught Tanner how to smash cans and it has now transferred to smashing anything.
My Dad, Tanner and I spent one day in Spokane and had so much fun feeding the geese (OK I didn't feed them because I was too scared, but Tanner and Dad loved it), riding the carousel, and feeding the garbage goat.


Tanner loved swinging and although it is a blurry picture I still love it.


Tanner and Grandpa Bob. He loved seeing m grandparents and was sure to help Grandma keep all of her possessions close. If he saw her purse or cane anywhere (even right next to her) and she didn't have her hand on it he brought it to her. He was a busy little worker-especially in their cupboards. His favorite was being able to scoop out coffee grounds onto the floor- lucky for me he only got a couple out before I caught him. He also loved it if Grandpa would leave his car door open for just a second because he could climb right in.



Another favorite was the cats. He didn't want to hold them he just wanted to look into their eyes and the darn cats just wouldn't let him- he was very upset. I was impressed how nice he was when he did pet them.
