Happy 18-Months to our Little Man

Tanner is 18-months old today. I can't believe it. I can't believe that in 6 more months he'll be 2! My little baby is growing up way too fast.
He's really started to become a little boy lately too. His little face even looks older now and he had a small growth spurt. He's even wearing a lot of 18-month size clothing now. (That's actually a big deal!) He's such a fun little boy. He loves to laugh, smile, blow kisses and give snuggles.
But he also likes to play in the dirt, collect rocks and twigs and play with his cars.

Here are a few things Tanner really loves right now.

He loves Lego's- well technically they are MEGA BLOCKS- but either way he loves them!!! He probably brings the bag of Lego's out twice a day to play with them. He loves stacking them really high and then having me knock them over. It cracks him up.


He also loves his sorter box. The toy that has different shaped holes and you have to put the right shape in the right hole in order to get the block to fit inside. He recently discovered he rocks at this toy and we play with that at least twice a day too.


He loves to find sticks and twigs outside in our yard. He will find one he really loves and carry it around the whole time he's playing.


He loves to flirt! His cheesey smile and big blue eyes are a dangerous combination. He definitely knows how to work a crowd. He recently added blowing kisses to his repertoire. Oh the ladies love that!


He loves his snow boots. Unfortunately for him, we haven't had much snow lately. But he brings them to us every morning to put on over his sleeper and then after his naps he wants them back on again. He would go to bed in them if we let him. He's crazy about his snow boots. Here is a picture of Tanner bring me his snow boots after his nap.


And I know he's going to love being a big brother. Well he at least loves wearing his big brother shirt.


Tanner is such a funny, expressive little boy. He loves to make his Dad and I laugh. He thrives on praise and he hates to disappoint us. He can have quite the attitude sometimes, but usually only after a day without naps. He loves to give me kisses and snuggles and he loves being Dad's little buddy. I'm not saying Tanner is a perfect child, but for the most part he is a really good kid and we feel so lucky to be his parents. Happy 18-months little man!
