Getting my feet wet...

I am so excited about starting a blog for my family. Today, obviously, is my first post. I am usually not technologically savvy, so this process has been slow to start. I hope that I am able to use this blog to stay in touch with friends and family that I don't always get to see.

My husband and I have one child who is about to turn one this month. I am so excited!! It is so amazing to look back at photos and see how much he has grown. Tanner has been such a blessing. Being a mom is one of the most rewarding, fun, exciting, exhausting, stressful jobs in the world! I love it!

My entire vocabulary has changed. Words such as boppy and bumbo 12 months ago ment nothing. Aslo, I get excited about the littlest things. Tanner has just learned to put objects into other larger objects. Anytime he puts a block in his red box, I cheer and clap. All the while he just smiles and looks at me.

I was able to stay home all this summer with him. I am a teacher, so I had to go back to work in August. I knew that it would be hard to leave him with a sitter all day so that I could go back to work. Especially since I was able to spend everyday with him for two months. Tanner really does love to be around people and loves to play. So it hasn't seemed to be too hard of an adjustment for him. My favorite part of the day is picking him up from daycare and seeing his big smile when he sees me! He has the cutest smile.
