Here's Tanner in his new carseat...he has plenty more room...but truth be told, it doesn't seem to make him love the car any more than the old seat. Ah, well!

Tanner eating carrots...

Here's a picture of Tanner eating carrots this morning. It's his first food, other than rice cereal....very exciting!!! He seemed to really like it! Of course, he loves it best when he can hold the spoon and try and do it himself.

Nanny reading to Tanner...

Nanny took on bath and story time last week....and Tanner loved it! Nanny had all sorts of bath toys and showed Tanner how to play with them. It was so cute and he really, really loved it! Then they would read together which was really cute.

Tanner is absolutely facinated by food and drinks these days...you can see him trying to get a hold of Pappy's beer!
