Turning 1

Time flies when your having fun! It sure has for our family. I cannot believe that it has already been a year since Tanner came into our lives. Last weekend we were able to celebrate an exciting day as parents. Saturday was Tanner's first birthday. We had family and friends come and joins us for the important event. We began the festivities with singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out the candle.



Next, Tyler gave Tanner his first cake. Nothing really happened at first. Tanner just poked it. After he got some icing on his fingers, he didn't seem too excited about the new experience. Tyler gave him a taste of the icing.....mmmm...not too bad. Tanner continued just to poke around. Not exactly what I had expected. Tanner tends to be quite a messy eater.

After cleaning up, Tanner opened up his presents. He opened up his present from his Aunt Jamie and Uncle Jackson. He enjoyed ripping the paper and seeing what was inside. I think he like the gift. Don't you?

Tanner opened many more wonderful gifts and toys. Our living room is filled with noise and laughter. I never realized how much room a little boy only 12 months old could need. But he enjoys using every inch. It was a wonderful day. I have been so blessed. Tanner is such a joy. I cannot imagine life without his wonderful smiles and giggles.
