Tanner Ross || 10 months

baby!! 
as we're rearing closer and closer to becoming a one year old, I'm trying harder and harder to hold on to these baby days. this boy is growing at lightening speed and there's no sign of him slowing down.
my precious tanner boy.
with the biggest, toothy grin (a whole seven teeth in there!!).
Brandon and I are always saying how his smile is just the biggest, happiest smile we've seen. it's so hard for me to capture it in a picture! he'd much rather smile at us than our phones ;)
it's been a big month these past 30 or so days.
baby boy's first Easter and then about 10 of those days were spent prepping for and being in hawaii.
so this  month went by FAST!!! and was so FUN!!!

the boy gets it. gets it all.
he's COMPLETELY aware of his surroundings and will not handle being left out.
he's progressed with foods quicker than harper did and that's mostly because he is 100% aware if he is given something different than the rest of us. he's quick to vocalize his opinion and let it known that he better be getting some of what's on my plate too.
meal times had gotten quite stressful with shouting and yelling. as soon as I let him feed himself more and he mastered his new skill better... it has made allll the difference!!
sleep had gotten good! just one night wake.
then more life happened and rocked that boat. a cold and then traveling and being away from home for eight days threw it all off. we're working our way back to good again-- and hoping that sooner than later we'll get there!!
new things!
--learned to drink from a straw
--we've ditched the zippy for both naps and night sleep
--tooth #7! (5/5)

oh sweet boy how I never want to forget this fun stage you are in.
you're into everything and exploring is what you do best.
harper is your best companion. where ever she is and whatever she is doing. you want to be right there with her.
you love your daddy so big and light up with those sweet baby blues and your huge grin the second he walks in.
but boy oh boy you're such a mama's boy too! and I love every once of it.

Family Getaway | Cannon Beach, OR

life is busy. life is great. 
and it's about to get a whole lot busier and even that much better.
but before we bring the fourth member into our family (and while traveling is still ok for me) :) we decided to put a pause on 'normal' life for a day and took a little family day trip to the beach!
and it's just what our hearts needed at just the right time.
I tell ya... there honestly isn't anything in this world like family time. 
these two are my life and bring me more joy and happiness than I ever could've imagined I needed.
ok, enough with that... here's our trip! :)
a three hour road trip didn't sound too bad with a toddler. we had snacks packed, books, toys, and when needed, we could pop down the dvd player in the car.
little miss is currently working a couple two year molers in and well... enough said.
though she isn't really that bad of a teether, it does play on some of our days/moments.
about 45 minutes from arriving, and she was not having it. getting tired + cranky. and just not falling asleep... ahh! we were really having to practice our patience to say the least ;) 
and then. no joke. two (maybe three!) minutes out. she fell asleep.
cue driving around town to buy a little time for her to at least get a small cat nap in.
three hours of driving when there was perfect opportunity for a great nap... the life of traveling with children!
...and the real estate world... never.sleeps.
I was too eager for this day to really begin to just keep waiting in the car while Brandon worked and Harper slept...
so we woke Harper, got some lunch, and began to explore!
the candy store!!
this girl LOVED going around to each taffy bin and filling our bag one salt water taffy at a time! :)
and 10 dollars worth of salt water taffy later...
happy campers!!
it was just a perfect day all around. 
my absolute favorite though... watching Harper explore the beach for the first time. 
she was in heaven! we all were :)
leading up to going, we had been talking about our road trip and going to the beach. and Harper couldn't stop talking about it.
"road trip!"
"beach. ocean."
"see whales. fishies. dolphins."
this was the moment she had been waiting for!

building sandcastles with daddy.
even today she's still talking about her sandcastles :)


time to make our way to the water! this pacific northwest ocean water is cold, but she had so much fun dipping her feet in!

oh my heart. the bond between these two is enough to bring me to tears. their love for each other is so sweet.
just looking at these pictures now and remembering our day makes my eyes water. the pregnancy hormones could have a little to do with that! ;)

it was thee best day.
just the three of us away together.
it was the first day trip we've taken and I foresee it being the first of many!

Xoxo
