Her 1st steps!

Well, she took her first 3 steps on Monday!! She was "cruising" around the coffee table & spotted a favorite toy, let go of the coffee table, took 3 small steps towards the toy & then went down on her knees. That seems to be all she had in her for right now:) When i hold her hands & try to get her to walk to me, she goes right down on her knees & "walks" to me that way. It won't be long now & i will have an official walker!! Maybe just in time for her 1st birthday next month!
I've gotten all of the decorations for her party & we're looking forward to a very simple & fun 1st birthday for our princess next month! We thought that was a pretty appropriate theme & can't wait to see her in her plush princess crown...if she'll wear it;-)
We have her Halloween costume picked out & can't WAIT to take pictures of her in it!! Now, if only i can figure out what i'm going to be:)

Some pics...

Hello bright eyes!

Smiling at a bunch of cockroaches at The Butterfly House.



With her toys that she got after her mommy & daddy & some friends went to Dave & Buster's for a night:) The hippo is from her Aunt Nicki & Uncle Dan & the penguin is from Mom & Dad.



Look at those curls at the base of her neck:)



Talking on her toy flip-phone:)



Big smiles!!!!

Birthday party, Anniversary dinner & wonderful news...

Last Sunday we went to a birthday party for my friend's son's 1st birthday! We had such a great time! There was a petting zoo & pony rides & Tanner loved all the animals...and so did her mommy;-)

Then on Tuesday we went to dinner for my dad & step-mom's 25th anniversary. Turns out, we had another reason to celebrate that night...we found out my sister Niki is PREGNANT!!!! YAY!!! We are so thrilled for them & so excited Tanner will have another cousin & all 3 of the kids will be close in age which is great! They can all be partners in crime, lol:)

We have now started planning Tanner's 1st birthday party. We're doing a Little Princess theme, which i think is pretty appropriate:) I cannot believe she's going to be 1 in just a month! It's sad & exciting at the same time.



The birthday boy, Bryson!



Tanner enjoyed all of Bryson's toys:)



She really had a great time!



Making friends:)



My little flirt;-) (She would smile so big at him!)



Feeding the baby camel.



"Tanner would you like one of these? OK!"



She was actually more interested in her feet touching the grass, lol:)
