Tanner Ross || 11 months

tanner.

my baby.

how, oh how can it be!?

you're E L E V E N months old today and I honest to goodness don't know how we've even gotten here.

boy you just bring so, so much joy to us all.

such a happy camper, with a calm spirit.

a mama's boy at it's finest + you are ever so dear to me.

sensitive, yet determined.

I dream about you and what your future holds so often. it's such a bright one ahead for you and I pray you will always hold your mama close to your heart.

sweet boy, it brings tears to my eyes as we're getting closer to closing in on your first year of life. it's been a year of challenges and you've taught me so much about myself. made me stronger. made me more patient + compassionate.

this past year you've molded me into who I am.

though it is so emotional and breaks my heart a little seeing you get so stinking big, it also brings me the biggest joy and I couldn't be more excited to continue to watch you as you grow more and more into yourself.

thank you my sweet tanner boy.

mama loves you!!!

and not knowing it was possible to love you any more than I already did--- this month you've been soooo solid with your sleep and we've had daysss of you sleeping all through the night :) mama loves you baby, now keep it up!! ;)

11 month things:

--tooth number 8 made it's way! (5/19) you've got quite the mouthful of chomppers and i just love how every time you smile and get excited, those little teeth are showing off.

--as soon as his little cold passed, we started off the month with some great nights! usually one quick night wake up and a handful of nights without any! and THEN about a week and a half ago, we've been going consistent with NO NIGHT WAKE UPS!

yahoo! praying I don't jinx that now ;)

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.
