Update

I can't believe how fast our little guy is growing up! We had his 9 month check up on the 17th, and he is still our big healthy boy. He is 23 lbs now, which means he has consistently gained one pound a month since he was about 4 months old. He is in the 95% for height and weight, and that cranium of his is off the charts!

Tag still says his usual words, Dada, Momma and Nana. He has recently added "Uh-Oh" to his vocab, which is so cute! I have been signing to Tag since he was about 7 months old, and he recently started to sign back "more". We are working on signs for no-no, daddy, mommy, bath, thank you, please, hungry, and all done. I try to always use the signs when I talk to him. It is really amazing to see his little brain turning as he watches!

Along with talking and signing, Tagney is now waving bye-bye, clapping his hands and says "yeah", gives hi fives, and my favorite, he will give a kiss when you ask for one - usually a typical open mouth spitty baby kiss, but adorable still! :)

Tagney is officially mobile! He does something I would refer to as an "army crawl" - he uses one leg and one arm to scoot across the floor on his belly - but according to his pediatrician that is crawling. He is now into all the "no-no's" in the house, which is keeping me on my toes to put it lightly!

I plan on posting some pictures really soon of our peanut!

Tagney's Favorite... Bath Time!

Tagney has always loved bath time, in fact now he crys when it's time to get out! I think he would stay in there for hours on end, if I let him. Here are a few pictures of Tagney enjoying his bath in the kitchen sink...

First Teeth

Tagney got his first two bottom teeth. He started the "teething" process a couple days before we left for Alaska, and by the end of the trip they had both cut through. He is such a cutie with his new little teeth, but he has bit me a couple times while he is nursing....I say "no, no Tag!" and he lets out a loud cry! Of course it's my fault! :) He has also bit my shoulder, I think he is testing me....he always looks to see my reaction, what a stinker!

All Bounced Out!

Tagney spent alot of time in his bouncy in Alaska. One night, he had so much fun he fell alseep in it. Here is a little clip I caught if him trying to fight the sand man and keep bouncing! :)

North To Alaska!

I was blessed to get away and spend two weeks in beautiful Alaska! The first week, My parents, Brooklynn, myself & Tagney went up. Cedar and his Dad joined us for the second week. We had so much fun, catching fish,looking for grizzly bears, working on the cabin, playing cards, eating like kings,enjoying eachothers company and soaking up God's beautiful creation! Tagney loved being out side, as he "oohed" and "awwed" every time he went outside, and showed disappointment when it was time to come in. There is no doubt he will be just like his Daddy when it comes to a love for the outdoors! Here are a few pictures of our time way up North!

We had such a great time, and can't wait to go back! Tagney doesn't realize just how blessed he was to be in God's beautiful country for two weeks, but I know some day he will!!! A big thanks to my Mom & Dad for allowing us to come up and enjoy thier beautiful home away from home!
