Tanner is 1 month old!

I can not believe that my sweet baby is 1 month old already! Time is flying right by! He is such a good baby! He is getting so big, so fast! 

 We took Tanner to the doctor the other day and the doctor says he is growing great and looks really healthy! When Tanner was born he was 7lb 6oz and 20 inches and we took him to the pediatrician when he was 3 days old and he was down to 6lb 9oz. He had us supplement a little bit and the next day he was up to 6lb 15oz. Now he weighs 8lb 12oz and is 21 inches long! The doc said he is in the 30th percentile for weight and height! And the 99th percentile for IQ! ;) 

Some fun/interesting things I want to remember...

• Tanner has started to smile, a little bit. We've gotten a few out of him! And he gave a big smile the other day when I put him in front of a picture of Christ! So sweet!
• Tanner loves bath time!!! He gets so relaxed in the water! It's so sweet! He is getting too big for the kitchen sink, so we've been bathing him in his little bathtub and he loves it! A few times now, Daddy will get in the big tub with him and he loves that even more because he can be in the water more! The other night they were bathing together and we had just gotten done washing Tanner when he started to "toot" a little! We laughed, but Tom wanted me to hurry and get him out before he did more that just make bubbles! Well, we didn't quite make it and Tanner did his business in the water! It was so funny! Needless to say, Daddy had to take a shower after his bath!
• We had our first "Diaper Blow-out" the other night! Tom was holding him when he filled is pants and he wanted to change him right away. Tanner is a very loud little boy, if you know what I mean, and it always sounds like more than it really is! I told him he should probably wait a few minutes so we could make sure he was really done! Tom said that it felt like a lot and that it was really warm! Haha! Well, he blew out all over his clothes! Then the next morning, I was feeding him and he threw up ALL OVER me and him! Tom came in and cleaned Tanner up while I took a bath. A while later I hear, "Oh No!!!" Tanner had peed through his diaper and clothes and soaked Tom! Seriously soaked him and there was even a puddle in the rocking chair! What a morning! We went through 3 outfits before it was even 10:30 in the morning!
• Tanner has started to not like sleeping on his back. He hates being on his tummy when he is awake, so I doubt he'd like to sleep that way. He takes a lot of his naps in the swing and he sleeps most of the night in his bouncer chair. Sometimes he'll last a few hours on his back if the is on a pillow. Silly boy! At least he is sleeping pretty well at night! The first few weeks he was sleeping 4-5 hours at a time at night, and then the last week or so he'd wake every 2 1/2-3 hours. But the last few nights he has been back to 4-5! 

We absolutely love being this little guy's parents! He has brought so much joy into our lives! We waiting so long for him to come to us and we went through a lot to get him here - and we couldn't be more happy to have him in our lives!
