Tanner

My Tanner is 9 months old.  He has decided to grow up on us.  He is no longer my little baby.  Tonight while the boys and I were cleaning up their toy room--he decided be brave and take his first crawl! 

Okay, so I wrote that a month ago.  Now Tanner is 10 months old.  A couple days ago he learned how to go down the stairs all by himself----clunkety-clunk---thump, thump, thump and down he went.  When I turned the corner and saw Tanner at the bottom of the stairs crying. Benson said, "Mom I watched the whole thing".  And then seconds later Reece said, "mom, I think we need to come up with a family rule so that doesn't happen again".  Thank you boys! I'm glad you are concerned about your brother falling down the stairs.  Let's hope that doesn't happen again!

Yesterday was a big milestone for Tanner.  He FINALLY ate a whole jar of baby food in one setting.  Not only did he eat it, but it only took 15 minutes.  Usually I spend 20 minutes at every meal trying to get him to eat.  Sometimes he takes one bite.  Other times he'll eat half a jar.  The poor kid is allergic/or super sensitive to Milk and Soy formula, bananas, and applesauce.  So yes, I am still nursing.  His eczema is just like Reece's.  His head and legs are covered in scabs from scratching and his arms have really weird red patches on them.  Let's hope this next week is a better week for him.  Although--he doesn't really scream all day like he used to.  Now that he can crawl he is one happy and darling little boy.  He makes us laugh because his favorite toys are the boys legos.  He just wants to join in the fun--he's a smart kid!  Sometimes he's so cute I want to eat him up!!!
