Monthly Update

Cooper is 11 months old!!!

Little brother is changing so fast these days. 

Weight: 18lbs 6 oz
Height: 29"

He crawls, he waves, he pulls up to standing in his crib, the bath tub, and Duke's dog bowls (which we can't keep him out of). Months ago, I thought there was no chance this baby would be walking by a year old.....now, I'm giving him a chance. He's not in hurry to reach milestones, until he decides he wants to do something and it happens overnight. 

Cooper has also decided that he no longer likes pureed foods and will hardly eat any. Instead, he'll have whatever you're having. Chicken, hot dogs, green beans, macaroni, corn, cheerios, bread, pasta.....all things he's had this week. I've never seen him turn his nose up. He also LOVES yogurt melts and goes through them like crazy. He also likes to drink from straws. We're also working on sippy cups. 

I've started preparing for his big birthday party this week. Slow down time.















Our dear Griffin Tanner is 4 years old!!!!!!!

I can't believe how life with him continually becomes more fun. 

I added a sweet saying about how fast children grow up to the back of Cooper's birthday party invitation. I've been thinking about how it really applies to Griffin lately, as his little face grows more mature each day. I find myself staring at his features, and imagining him as an adult. 

He got a very good report from his doctor at his annual well child appointment. It was funny to watch him listen and follow each command. "Breathe in like this!" "Now breathe out" "Let your leg hang down, I'm going to check your reflexes" "Walk in a line toward the door". It was like a game and he was very eager to do each thing. 

Height: 3 ft 4 1/4 in
Weight: 38 lbs
Blood pressure: 104/60
Pulse: 88

Likes: his new ride-on tractor, swimming, singing songs, Cooper and assisting him in any way, cruising YouTube

Dislikes: naps on the weekend, going to bed most nights, getting woke up early for daycare....see the correlation??

Favorite movies: All About John Deere, Robots, Open Season

Favorite books: Let's Go to the Fire Station, Tractor Mac, Little Blue Truck, and a fire & rescue magazine Uncle Brent gave him

Favorite foods: "chicken & rice" from the chinese restaurant, hot dogs STILL, white milk (NOT chocolate), spaghetti, cucumbers in vinegar 

Best friends: Chase & Briley
