Tanner Turns ONE!

Our little guy Tanner is one already! It is crazy how quickly they grow up and all of a sudden they are into trouble!  We're glad to have Tanner in our family and have enjoyed seeing Brady and Tanner's relationship develop.  They are playing together more and more and really enjoy being around each other.  Such an improvement with Brady from a few months ago when he was taking any cheap shot at Tanner he could!

Here are a few facts about Tanner at age 1:
He loves to eat.  If he knows you are watching him, he will throw a piece of food in his mouth really fast and put his head back to be funny.  He knows how to get into my purse and find snacks.
He took his first steps at 10 months and is all over the place.  He is really busy and into everything and loves throwing things in the garbage can, down the stairs, and shutting the door when he goes into a room.
He seems to have more "traditional" boy interests than Brady did.  He loves cars, balls, swords, and looking at animals.  He figured out how to 'drive' a toy car at 10 months just on his own, and we don't remember Brady doing that until he got to nursery.
He likes being around people and doesn't like to miss out on things.
He is a pretty good napper and we can just put him in his room and he will go down.  Right now, he is in that transition phase from 2 naps down to 1.  He goes down fairly early at night, usually by 7:00, and now that his molars are in and he is in his own room, he is sleeping through the night.
Tanner's first few weeks of being 1 were a little rough--he started throwing up on his birthday and had that and the runs almost every day for about 3 weeks.  Poor little guy! He was also getting in 8 teeth at the same time, so he wasn't too pleasant for a while.  He is back to being his easy-going self now that his body has recovered and his teeth have all cut through.
He loves his brother and if Brady is in quiet time when Tanner is up, he will go and knock on his door.
He loves to be outside.  His favorite thing is to play basketball with our little hoop.  He will put a ball in the basket over and over.  He will stand right under our big hoop holding a full size basketball just waiting for someone to put it in.
He is such a little cutie and he grows on me more and more everyday.
