I'm so behind on blogging. I'm blaming summer.
But I have to skip ahead and post these pictures I took of Tanner. It felt SO good to finally get these done! He's more like 13 months than a year, but Travis assured me that in 5 years, we'll never know the difference. ;)
The photo shoot was easy. (Minus one spill off the stool. Oops.) He's such a happy kid!! It's the most common comment I get from people. And I just say, "Yep. He really is this happy all the time."
I used to hate when old ladies would sigh at me in the grocery store and say, "Ohhh, enjoy every second! It goes so fast!" I'd politely smile, but inwardly be rolling my eyes. The first 9 years of babies most certainly had NOT been going by fast. But now? They are flying! Tanner's first year has gone by in a blink and I can confidently say that I have been soaking in every second. He is completely yummy and I kiss on him all the live long day. I get lost in his deep, brown eyes. His soft skin and dark chocolate hair, squishy tummy and perfectly round cheeks are all I dream about. He is a celebrity at church where allll the primary kids fawn and coo at him. He is quick to smile and every person he beams at, melts. Between Olive's hair and Tanner's sweet temperament, the rest of us are just the side shows. With every milestone he reaches a little part of me mourns the baby that he used to be, the day before. I don't want him to grow up!! What if he's my last baby??!! I can't handle the thought. But see, I only want another one if he/she is just like this one. ;) I don't bargain there are any guarantees. So for now, I quite literally thank Heavenly Father every day for blessing me with him while I breathe in his smells and snarf on his neck. I'm a smitten mama. That's for dang sure.
