Welcome to the Family T!!

T took his first airplane trip at 7 weeks. We were off to Seattle for a two week trip to meet a lot of people. He was a perfect baby, he slept most of the trip. We got comments like " I didn't even know there was a baby on the plane," we were very pleased!



We arrived on Wednesday night and the next Morning got in the car to take a 5 hour trip to Spokane to spend a few days with D's sister and her family! T was such a trooper, he lasted about 4 1/2 hours and then was ready to get out, as was everyone else.



We had a great time in Spokane. T loved being with his cousins. They were helpful and told me they like their cousin.


We came back to Seattle and spent a few more great days with D's family and got to see some friends.



The last week we went down to Olympia to see M's family. He was spoiled with love there. T really liked being around all the family.


We all had a great time. We love being with family and friends. It was nice to see everyone and have everyone meet T. We miss you all very much. We are excited to be back for Christmas.

One of our new favorite things is T noises. He found his voice and loves seems to hear it. His sweet noises are the cutest thing. Sometimes it seems like he is really trying to talk.

Month one is in the basket for Baby Tanner



Meditation is key to a happy childhood. T continues to practice his deep thoughts. Or he might be saying "what up?" to his peeps in his dreams. He definitely has a hard time staying awake when he is in it. He usually falls asleep with in 10 minutes which is nice for us when we need an easy break.



We are trying to have Tanner sleep in his crib. He currently sleeps in a bassinet in our bedroom, but I am hoping that sleeping in a different room will help him sleep longer. He hasn't slept in there overnight just yet. We are working on naps first. But really who wouldn't want to sleep in that crib? I wish I could climb in.



Tanner has always enjoyed his baths and nakedness in general. It is so cute. Bath time and diaper changes are enjoyable for everyone... sort of... sometime freedom comes with a price.



Don't worry we have already talked to Tanner about tanning too much. We hope that mom can use the leftover tans.



At his one month appointment he weighed 9lbs 10oz, 21in tall. It has been a couple weeks since then, so I think is might be about 10lbs now. He has grown out his newborn outfits, which is crazy because he used to swim in them.

Our excitement to come to Washington grows daily!! Introducing Tanner to his wonderful family will be a blast. Tanner and I will be there for a little over two weeks. We love to show him off, because we are so excited to have him in our family and we think he is so cute. It will be a nice visit. Hope to see as much family and friends as possible.
