Fun family- filled weekend!

On Saturday we had a birthday BBQ for my mother-in-law Sandy & Tanner had a blast hanging out with her Grandma & Grandpa Campbell, Aunt Dawn & Uncle Jason & her cousins Dana & Dylan. Then on Sunday we went to my sister Niki & brother-in-law Adam's for a little pool party. My brother Pat & sister-in-law Megan took their daughter Chaney swimming for the 1st time & she really seemed to enjoy it! This was the 2nd time for Tanner. The 1st time didn't go so well but this time was a success! She LOVED being in the water which makes mommy SO happy!! :)

Just a few pics

Just a few pictures to show how big T is getting! She is crawling like a pro & she can now pull herself up! She LOVES pulling up & is just as proud as we are:) She stayed with my mom for a week while we were in Mexico for my sister's wedding (which was BEAUTIFUL!) I did better than i thought i would...once i got there. My mom said she did great! I think she slept better over there than she does at home;) It was crazy to see how much she changed in just the 1 week we were away from her. She's even starting to throw little fits, especially when she doesn't want to be held, you know, the crying w/out tears kind...YAY! :) It's hard to believe she's going to be a year old in a little over 2 months! We've even started thinking about her party! It's most likely going to be Halloween themed...or the Golden Girls, which seems to be her favorite show! HA:-) (She takes after me & her great-grandma Evelyn on that one!) I'll keep ya posted:)

Petting my mom & Russ's dog Lola:)

(I had to add a pic of the wedding!) My sister Niki & new brother-in-law Adam!!!!

Congratulations again guys, we couldn't be happier for you two!!!!!!!!!!!

And she's off...

Tanner is now crawling!! She loves it! She loves having multiple ways to get around now. She's either crawling, rolling, lunging or walking in her walker. She mostly just chases the dogs though:-) If they're in her sight she is a woman on a mission! At least she's focused, right? :-)

She finally gets to go to the zoo for the 1st time this Friday! I can't wait to see how she reacts to the animals. I hope she likes them because her mommy is going to let her have pretty much any animal she asks for...that's in our budget of course;-)



My proud little crawler!


Playing with her new toy. She loves to press buttons.


Pretty amazed with it...for now:-)


At Grandma Sandy's with cousin Mary Jo & her two little girls, Nora & Becky! Such cute little girls!!


"Hey Becky, how's it going?" :-)


Love my little girl!!!!!

8 months old!

Hard to believe my baby girl is already 8 months old! She's going to be a year old in just 4 MONTHS! What the heck?! Time really does fly when you're having fun:-)

Not really much to tell. Tanner is doing great! She still isn't crawling but that doesn't seem to phase her because she can get anywhere she wants to go just by rolling. It's really cute! She can also sit up from laying down now so she doesn't get mad anymore when she falls over.
She still zooms around in her walker like a mad woman! The poor dogs get this terrified look on their faces whenever she is in her walker. They usually hide under the table where she can't run them over:-)
Hopefully i will be able to take her to the zoo soon if this MO weather would cooperate! So, if anyone wants to go with us, just call:-)

Here are a few pics:

With her phone. (She better not be callin' boys, lol:-)

Watching Baby T.V.

Reading:-) (She can even read when the book is upside down;-)


Happy girl waking up from a nap.

Playing with her blocks.

Napping with her baby doll.

Zooming around in her walker.

Tanner's new cousin

Tanner got to meet her new cousin, Chaney, last night! She was so funny, she would just stare at Chaney & then look at whoever was holding her as if to say "what is that?" :-) I have a feeling they are going to be buddies & get into alot of trouble together;-)

It's hard to believe Tanner was that small just 7 months ago! Cherish it Pat & Megan because it goes SO fast!





Chaney all snuggly in her swing.



Poppy & his girls:-)

"Hey cuz!"

I just had to add this pic. because it's so darn cute! They're in their matching Tony Schumacher racing shirts. (Tony S. is a Top Fuel driver in the NHRA)

Just a few pics

First and foremost i just want to say congrats again to my brother Pat & my sister-in-law Megan on their beautiful little girl, Chaney! Tanner's new cousin was born this morning at 6:39 & she weighed 8lbs. 12oz. She is absolutely adorable!!!


We finally have a new computer so here are a few new pics of Tanner:


In her Cardinal's outfit. Go Cards!



In her other Doors outfit. (Hey a girl's gotta have more than 1 Doors outfit;-)



Cutest load of laundry ever!



Daddy & his baby girl:-)

Ready to crawl!

Sweetest face in the world!

Just a little update (Sorry Brandi;-)

Hi all! Tanner turned 7 months old on Saturday which was also her Grandma Debbie's birthday!! (Don't worry Mom, i won't tell them how old you turned:-) We went out to dinner & T-bug was ok for the 1st part but there were alot of new faces at the table & it got pretty busy so she decided to have a little melt-down! We all tried everything we could to calm her but she was just MAD! Once we got home i found out the main reason for the fuss...she has a 2nd tooth popping through! For the most part teething has been pretty smooth. She might be fussy for a little while but rub some baby Orajel on her gums & she is ready to party.
She is really close to crawling now! She has mastered getting up on all fours & rocking back & forth. She gets around really well just by rolling around & scooting on her back. She also motors around in her walker & laughs when she runs into things, especially the dogs. They've been really good though, they just get the heck out of her way!
I wish i had some pictures to post but our computer is broke so we are borrowing my brother-in-law's for right now. Well, that's all for now! I'll try to post some pictures soon!
