Payton Elizabeth

Payton Elizabeth was born on September 30th at 12:17 pm weighing 7 lbs 8.6 oz and 20 inches long. She spent two days in the NICU with fluid in her lungs from the delivery. It was very sad to spend the days in the hospital room without our little girl. The whole event was well...eventful but we are so grateful to have our little girl healthy and home with us.

Passed Out!

I had to take this picture since it makes me laugh that he can fall asleep with his blanket shoved in his mouth and it stays there. There are nights that we go check on him and it is the same way in his crib. The funnier thing is that his mommy used to do the exact same thing when she was little! Guess it runs in the family!

Chuck E Cheese

This weekend we went to Chuck E Cheese for a birthday party and had a really great time. Travis and I were amazed at how fast Tanner picked up in where to put the tokens and that he got a ticket after he played the games. Luckily for us he doesn't know yet what the tickets are for! It was a really fun way to spend our last Sunday as a family of three!!

Goof and Giggle

This week at Tanner's class I had so much fun watching him sing songs and try to imitate the teachers movements! We also made a puffer fish that he absolutely loves out of a rubber glove and played with sand again. We have had so much fun in this class and hopefully can sign up for another one after Payton arrives!

Reading books with Daddy

Daddy has been working late the past few night so Tanner was very excited to see Daddy tonight. They of course played their favorite game "daddy get you". And then mommy said they needed to play something more calm before he went to bed so they read the big book! Tanner amazes us at how many things he knows the names of in his big book! It was a fun night to have daddy home!

2 Year Photos

Finally Tanner and I made it to get his 2 year photos done! We had to wait for a few owies to heal before we could get his photos taken. He did pretty well, although he really just wanted to run around instead of stand and have his photo taken. Mommy really wanted to get one with the 2 block but those ones were very unsuccessful!

Tanner John McCarthy

Tanner and I have been working on learning what his name is...he is doing pretty good but sometimes the answer is the same when I ask how old he is!

First day of MOPS!

Today was our first day back at MOPS and this year Mason and Tracey are joining us! It was a big day because Tanner went from the nursery to a classroom this year! I was a little nervous how he would do but it didn't bother him at all when I left! And his teachers said he was a very happy little guy and quite verbal! :) Nothing that we didn't already know about our happy talkative adorable little one!
