Little Miss Model

My neighbor came over to model some dresses for my new online boutique that I am trying out.  Tanner was so shy and would not get one step away from me when our neighbor was there but as soon as she left Tanner turned in to Miss Model.  She went to the exact spot my neighbor was in and started turning around and smiling......so cute!

18 Month Check Up

18 months already???  Where does the time go?  I took Tanner last week to see Dr. Jamie and she is doing great!  She weighs 28.5lbs and is 30 inches long.  She is in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th for height.  One shot later and we were on our way!  Cade was sweet because when Tanner was about to get her shot his eyes started to water and he said that he just couldn't take it then went to sit in the hallway.  Such a good big bro.

This looks like a good place to do my top ten loves of Tanner so at 18 months here they are:

1.  Love how she says " Dank Du" for thank you
2. Love how if she thinks she has hurt Cade's feelings she will go lay her head on his lap.
3.  Love how she trys to act just like Cade....even roaring like a dinosaur.
4. I love the way she squeals when she hears me come home.
5.  I love how she freaks out to get to me when I come in to her room at school.
6.  I love how she eats SO much!
7. Love how she waves bye like crab pinchers.
8.  Love how when someone tells her bye she repeats "Bye" in the cutest baby voice over and over and over again until they are out of sight.
9.  Love how she fake cries with her grandmommies are leaving.
10.  Love how she is a daddy's girl and tries to help him in the yard.

Talking Like Crazy

So we have been hearing the babble for a while now but lately Tanner has become such a talker!  There are a few words that I have figured out but for majority, she and I can sit and have an entire coversation and I will have no clue what she is talking about.  Her first "real" word was "thank you" or "dane do".  So cute!  She can also say....buhbuh for Cade, ma for mommy and da for daddy.  Love it!

Another recent change is the way she is such a DADDY'S GIRL!  She wakes up screaming "DAAAAA" and when she sees him her face just lights up.  She walks around the yard helping Justin with the flowers and wants to be right by his side.  It is so sweet.

Happy Easter!

Lovin Her Brother

We are so lucky to have kids that love each other so much.  Tanner wants to do everything that her brother does.........and I mean EVERYTHING!  Cade sometimes takes it to the extreme to see what she will try and do......monkey bars come to mind.......but he is an amazing big brother.  He gets his feelings hurt sometimes because Tanner will yell at him when she doesn't want him to do something or touch something that she has.  It is pretty funny how she already does this.  For example, Easter was this past weekend and she was extremely protective of her plastic eggs!  Everytime Cade would try to get one from her basket she would let out this scream and just look at him like "how dare you".  She also gets super mad at Cade if he trys to get some of anything she is eating.  We had a HUGE container of cheese balls that she staked her claim on and would scream anytime Cade would try and get a handful.  Nuts!  She covers her eyes and falls on the floor when she gets upset like these things are so traumatizing.  So dramatic!

I have pigtails!!

Tanner officially has enough hair for pigtails!  They are soooo cute!  The only problem is that she will not let me do her hair.....only her teachers!  Her teachers couldn't believe it when I told them this.  They said that she sits so still for them as long as needed.......figures!
