Christmas & Snow

We hope everyone had a great Christmas! We sure did! Tanner got SO much stuff! Here are a few pictures from Christmas and her 1st time playing in the snow. She really seemed to enjoy it!

**We wish everyone a very safe & happy New Year!!**

Our little girl is getting big

I don't really have much to tell, just a little update. She is starting to want to hold the spoon herself when eating. She still needs a little guidance from Mom but she knows exactly what to do to get the food on the spoon & then the spoon to her mouth:)

A few pics from the last couple of weeks:


With a look of concentration on her face


Enjoying some milk after lunch


With Daddy's credit card...uh oh;)

A little update

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Tanner had been sick (and now mommy is:) so we decided to stay home for Thanksgiving so we wouldn't get anyone else sick. Scott's family came over & we had a nice time just relaxing with family! Other than being sick, Tanner has been great. Here are a few pics:


She decided to take her shirt off:)


Watching her cousin Dylan play the guitar

Excited after the Christmas decor was put up:)

Halloween

Tanner was a kangaroo for Halloween & a pretty darn cute one too! We just stayed at home & handed out candy.

Pumpkins & Wolves:)

This past Saturday we took Tanner to a pumpkin patch in Marthasville, MO. It was a gorgeous day! She liked looking at some goats they had but there really wasn't much for her to do. We picked out a tiny little pumpkin for her & we got 2 pumpkins (1 is about the size of T:) to carve for Halloween.

On Sunday we went to Wolf Fest at the Wild Canid Center (the wolf sanctuary). It was so neat!! Not very many picture opportunities because it's hard to see through the 2 fences with a camera. I was perfectly ok with the 2 fences seperating us from the wolves considering their 1500lbs. of jaw power to my measly 50lbs., lol:) They are such beautiful creatures!

At the pumpkin patch:


(That's how she stayed when we sat her down:)

**If you get a chance, go to the Wild Canid Center (www.wildcanidcenter.org). They are a private, not-for-profit conservation organization & they do GREAT work "providing an alternative to extinction". **
