3 months

Tanner is now 3 months old.....WHHHAATT?! Where does the time go and why so fast? He is really chunking up at 13 lbs. now, making up for his 5 lb. start! Do you see those cheeks? He is developing his little personality, he likes to be socialize and watch T and his friends play...he kicks his legs so fast and gets excited watching the big kids! He loves to coo and talk, especially when T or my Dad sings to him. When he is hungry he needs to eat like 10 minutes ago!! So he really fusses and cries if that doesn't happen fast enough. And lo and behold, turning 3 months old has flipped on his day and night switch - for the past 3 nights he has slept about 5-6 hrs. straight!!! I have felt very energized these last few days for sure, with all my extra sleep but am just enjoying it while it lasts because as we all know baby sleep patterns change constantly.

Big T continues to just love on his little brother all day long...if the baby cries he soothes him and tells him "It's okay baby brother, Mommy's here, Talan's here, we're almost home..." He loves to give him the pacifier any time Tanner makes even as much as a whimper. I try to explain that it's not a plug, that sometimes the baby doesn't always like it, but if Tanner stops fussing with the pacifier, T recognizes that he has comforted the baby and feels really proud of himself. He sings to the baby often, sometimes he makes up songs, or he loves Old Macdonald the most. When Tanner sees his big brother he always gets the biggest smile....that melts me!

Sleeping babies

This is Talan at 12 weeks, they're so beautiful when they sleep...

Here is Tanner at 9 weeks...do you see the similarities?

I found this picture of Talan and Jason, when he was about 10 weeks old too!

And this one is of Tanner! What makes this moment so special is at some point Talan covered Tanner with his navy blankie...I love it!

10 weeks old

My baby boy is now 10 weeks old. He weighed 12lb 12 oz today..he's a chunkalunk for sure. He continues to show his strength every day. He holds up his head and looks around the room, and when I hold him over my shoulder he sometimes tries to turn his head all the way behind him. He is cooing up a storm, and especially loves when his big brother sings to him! His days and nights are still mixed up, but he is having longer wake periods in the daytime.

It's hard to tell but he has beautiful blue eyes! (I'm looking in to getting a higher quality camera)

Here is his precious chubby hand

*Sigh*

We shall call him Shirtless

So obviously Easter has come and gone but I finally downloaded the pictures! It was a crazy, foggy time for us, with Tanner only being 4 weeks old. This year Easter was a mellow day. It was drippy and rainy out, and T's cousins decided stay in Tracy this year, so he had his egg hunt solo this year. We made the best of it for T of course and these are some highlights...


Oh to be carefree, and shirtless! Most cooking/baking activities find T without a shirt, my son has such a high metabolism I think that he is constantly over-heated and sweaty!

Here he is preparing the cups to dye eggs in.



That's a Easter sticker on his forehead

Sorting through the loot that Easter Bunny left...all of his favorites, how ever did he know?!
Animal cookies, reeses pieces, Cheetoes, and sprinkles!

He was very meticulous about sorting his eggs and their contents

Here we are at Jason's parent's house, sleepless but smiling
