Tanner's First Crawl

Tanner started crawling on January 25th...the day before his 10 month birthday. Yeah!

Tanner with his Mom and Dad

I don't think I ever posted any photos from back in October when my friend Kristina came over for a visit. She whipped out her camera and took a bunch of photos. I thought these were especially cute! (she is a GREAT photographer if anyone needs some good photos taken!)

Kayla Painting Video

Here is Kayla in action...painting for the very first time on her new easel.

Kayla's 2 Year Stats

Kayla had her 2 year doctor's appointment on January 19th. Here are her stats:

34" tall (50th percentile)

28 3/4 lbs (75th percentile)

I thought I would post the above picture of Kayla using her new easel. She loves to paint especially when we add a little water to the project...nothing like some paint AND water play!

Kayla's 2nd Birthday Party

Kayla turned 2 on January 16th! We threw her a birthday party at Presidio Bowling Center and invited her nearest and dearest friends.

Tanner's Baptism

Tanner's baptism was a special day with all of our family flying in from Dallas and driving up from the South Bay. Fr. Francis baptized Tanner in the baptistry at St. Dominic's. It was a very intimate setting and a really great day!

And Grammy too!

Kayla's First Cheeseburger

I shot this video for Kyle. He was bathing Tanner while Kayla was eating her first homemade cheeseburger. Kyle made the cheeseburger so I wanted to make sure we had a record of Kayla eating it. It's a long video but I think it's a cute one.

Tanner's 9 Month Stats

Our boy is still liking those bottles! He is getting PLENTY of milk according to his 9 months stats. Here they are:

Height 29 3/4 inches

Weight 23 lbs 3 ounces

Tanner is holding strong in the 90th percentile. Yeah! (clap clap) Tanner claps every time we say "Yeah". He got his second (booster) H1N1 (swine flu) shot as well so we are hoping for a healthy winter! Hope yours is healthy too!

GRRRRRRR!!

Tanner shows off his grit and his grin in this video. He is quite the grunter.
