Flashback 1 Weston vs. Tanner

Tanner at 4 months

Weston at 4 months. Photo taken by Sarah Goodman.

I had fun taking a couple of photos today. I wanted some similar to the ones Sarah Goodman took of Weston. I want to hang some baby photos of the boys in the house. So this was one I took. (Thanks Megan for letting me borrow the blanket.)

Exersaucer

Tanner's new favorite thing to hang out is the exersaucer. He loves batting at things and is starting to focus and concentrate on getting items. Pretty soon he'll be chewing and drooling on everything attached to the exersaucer. I can't wait.

Tanner - 4 months

He is not a pacifer kid. He loves sucking on hands but he is not selective yet on what. He usually has his whole fist in his mouth.

Tanner turned 4 months on September 4th. I can't believe how time flies. He is a wonderful baby. He is so happy and easy going. We have a doctor's appointment later this week so we will have an update on his growth. He has started to roll over but still has a hard time getting all the way over. He does great on his tummy and holds his head high. He sleeps through the night (which he has done since 4 weeks), amazing!! I love all the talking (baby babble, cooing) that he does and his big smiles. I love you baby boy!!

My Grandma

My mom took this photo real quick the day they left home for CA. I'm so happy my mom and grandma came out for a visit. It meant so much for me to show my grandma my beautiful home and for her to see her great-grandkids.

My grandparents have meant the world to me and have had a huge impact in my life. Grandma, I thank you for all the wonderful summers we spent at your house on the ranch. We (Q and I) have so many great memories and you (and Grandpa) taught us so many so things I hope to pass on to my boys. I love you with all my heart!!!

We try to make the trip to CA as often as we can. Unfortunately with Mark's new job there is not much vacation time and I wish they were not an 11 hour trip away.

We will see them again very soon.

Grandma B

We had a great visit with my mom, Grandma B. I miss her often and it was great to have her here. Weston really enjoyed playing with her, especially board games. Though they also had a great time on the slip 'n slide together. Yesterday he asked if we could go to Grandma B's house. How do you explain to a 3 year old she lives 11 hours away? I wish she was down the neighborhood well actually I'd rather be her neighbor on the ranch (maybe someday).Fortunately we'll she her again in two months when we go to Yosemite. Then later in the day he said "Grandma B forgot her Legos." It was so cute he didn't understand she had given them to him. He thought she had brought her own to play with. (Another milestone this week ~ Tanner is 3 months old.)

Mom, if you read this, you look awesome!! You are my best friend and miss you very much!! I'm so very proud of you and love you with all my heart.

Great Grandma

I'm so glad my grandma was able to come out with my mom. What a special time!! It was grandma's first trip to our house and we were so happy she was here. I'm very thankful that she is healthy and up for new things. I don't think she hesitated when my mom asked her to come along. I only wish my grandpa could have been here too. He would have loved to meet his 8th great grand baby and I know he would have loved to play with Weston!!

Grandma was a great baby feeder. Tanner loved talking to her (sometimes too much, he'd have milk dribbling down his face). He often fell asleep in her arms, that's what grandmas are great at. Grandma, we love you very much and we will see you in California next.
