Gotta love those pinchable buns!

Tagney love to dip first...

...then munch!

He loves his tongue!

Yes Reingy girl has a binkie! She was feeling left out!

Look at those muscles!

Yummy!

Theres that tongue again...

I gave Tag a little mohawk

He is always on the move, doing what I call an "army crawl".

Momma's glasses





Tagney loves unpacking his diaper bag, if only I could teach him how to pack it!



Tagney into "no no's".

He loves to open and close our fireplace screen, and say "uh-oh!"





Momma's sweet boy!

Tagney Love's His Reigny Girl!

Tagney loves his Reigny girl, and Reign puts up with Tag! Here are a few pictures Tag playing with Reign.

"More"

As many of you know, we have been working on teaching Tagney how to sign. He has picked up on the sign for "more", but as you can tell in this picture he signs it his own way (but we know what he means!).... The correct way is to bring all your fingers to your thumb on both hands and tap them together.

This picture is one of Tagney upset and signing "more" because he wanted to eat the grass and I kept taking it away from him!

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! :)
