7 Months Old

7 Months! Can you believe it!!!

I'm not sure he's going to sit in here very much longer for me to take these pictures of him. He's trying to sit up and pretty much trying to escape the torture of his monthly picture!

This last month has brought lots of change with Tanner. He is babbling up a storm, rolling every where and getting in to the crawling position, but no crawling just rocking. His eating has changed a little. We are having fruit for lunch and a snack in between dinner and dinner consists of rice cereal with a veggie followed up with some yummy breast milk. Breast feeding is still going strong and despite all of the distractions he still wants to nurse. I have to tell Jackson to be quiet about a 100 times, but he eventually gets a full tummy. He hasn't perfected putting his snack in his mouth himself, but we are working on that! Bella is benefiting from this!

His sleeping patterns haven't changed. Still up once at night for a feeding.

No teeth yet. Jackson already had teeth, so I am wondering if he'll be a late bloomer.

He had his first hair cut. Couldn't handle the hair in hanging in his eyes and his morning Mo Hawks!

So far, he is doing good. He loves his brother so much and he can't get enough of Jeff, but he is still a mamas boy. He tries to kiss me all the time, pull my hair, loves for me to hold him and cries just about every time I leave the room. I don't think I can tell everyone enough what a joy he is. He is so easy and the best baby. He makes me want another one now. We will see on that though! Jeff and I just love him to death. I feel a stronger bond with him. Maybe it's just the second baby thing. Not so stressful and we are so much more relaxed with him. It's just more enjoyable. Not that it wasn't enjoyable with Jackson. You just don't really know what your doing and if your doing it right with your first! Jackson and I have a wonderful bond, but it's definitely different with Tanner. I suppose they can't all be the same!

Here are some extra photos I decided to share of Mr. T in the crawling position. He scoots forward when he's rocking in this position, but he usually does a face plant. Doesn't have the upper body strength yet.

Getting his Monkey

Playing with his brother! My 2 favorite boys, the loves of my life. I couldn't imagine my world without them.

The Day After Family Day...

The day after family day wasn't so great. Jackson came in to our room on Monday complaining of a tummy ache. We kind of blew him off and said it will go away, well we were wrong. Poor guy spent most of the day laying in the bathroom sleeping and throwing up. He said it made him feel better!

My poor baby.

We both had clam chowder for dinner the night before and I ended up like him at the end of the day.

Not fun! We both woke up today feeling so much better!

Family Day

What's 1 thing you might not know about Jeff?

Well, he used to be a surfer and still enjoys it when he gets the chance. Luckily, there are a few surfer pilots out at Jeff's work. So yesterday we headed to the beach (2.5 hours away) and spent the day together as a family and then met a couple of Jeff's fellow pilot friends out for a surf. They didn't last very long. A little blown out, but he enjoyed getting in the water.

We went out to the beach when we first got there and Jackson had a ball. After an hour or so we headed in to Cayucos to have some yummy fish and chips at Duckies! Love this place. It's like a restaurant you see in the magazines where all the locals go and there's a bar wrapped around the entire inside and outside of the restaurant and the windows open up so you get the fresh ocean air coming in! Just need to grab a beer and sit outside and your in heaven!

So we ate and headed back down to the beach! Jackson had a little to much fun, he ended up walking back to the car in his skivvies! We then cruised around looking at beach houses. Nothing to exciting!

Then we ended up at the beach, again! It was beautiful and 70+ degrees. When we left Fresno yesterday it was pretty overcast and cold. Thank god we saw the sun! I think we all needed some vitamin D!

Here are some pictures of Jeff and Jackson playing on the beach! They had a good time together.

Morro Bay Rock
I love Jackson's smile in this picture!

Jeff headed out to surf.

Jackson thought Jeff's wetsuit would keep him warm and dry! NOT! He looked like a penguin!

We ended our day with dinner in Morro Bay.

The best part of the day for me was when Jeff told me how much he loved our little family!

These are the moments I love the best!

We will be doing this more often!

Playing

Last week we were playing in Tanner's room (something we do a lot since we don't have an area rug in our living room) and he couldn't stop playing with this glow worm that his great aunt got him for Christmas. He found it quite interesting especially when he found himself in it.

Well, who is this handsome little guy?
Kisses?

mmmmwwwwaaaaaaa!

He definitely discovered himself!

When he actually starts crawling he can start chasing it around.

Tanner's First Hair Cut

Oh, yes I did!

Jeff has been bugging me for months to cut it and for some reason I couldn't bring myself to do it. I feel some kind of attachment to his hair and he is so young for a hair cut. Well, I took Jackson yesterday for a hair cut and asked the lady if she would do it and she said yes and then changed her mind and told me to wait. Me! Wait? Hahahahah.....

If you know me, that just isn't in my vocab! Once I want something I have to have it now!

So here is the before picture of our hot mess!

(You've all seen the FB posts with his morning Mo Hawks!)

Ta Da!
Luckily, he still has curls!!!! YAY, this was one thing I was worried about as well. I know a ton of people who have cut their kids curls off and they are completely gone. Not Tanner's!
Here is the little pile of curls! Yes, I saved them and they will be put in his baby book.
I will get a better picture of him. All of our camera batteries were dead last night! So, I used my phone camera.
He looks like a big boy:(

Tanner Is 6.5 Months

HaHaHa! I couldn't resist posting all of these pictures of him! We were having some fun this morning while he was eating his puffs and I was eating my cheerios. I had to grab the camera and take some pictures of him making his funny faces. The only bad thing is that they are kind of blurry and when I tried to do the manual setting on my camera, I forgot to switch the lens to manual! I'm such a dork. I will try another time and see what I come out with!

I can't believe that he is 6.5 months old. He is getting so big and loving his food! I think he's grown so much in the last couple of weeks. He's definitely put on some weight! lol

I have been putting him in the highchair whenever we eat and I will either give him some baby food or some sweet potato puffs. When I give him the sweet potato puffs, we crack up at how many don't make it in to his mouth and how many Bella ends up getting! It is so amazing to watch him and watch him interact with us! We just love him so much!

Sorry there are so many pictures I couldn't help myself! Besides, I know you all don't mind!

Raspberries

Almost
Trying to pick up his puffs
So tired

Sweet boy!

I love this one! Wish it wasn't so blurry.

My happy boy!

I will try it again and see what happens! So hard to get good pictures when they move around so much!
