Chunky Monkey! - September 4th

Tanner has grown so much! I didn't realize it until I saw my friends brand new little newborn, Brynlee, and couldn't believe that Tanner was once that small - and it hasn't been that long. But Tanner has grown so fast and is now a chuncky little baby. I love it!!

At his two month appt yesterday, he weighed 13 lbs, 5 oz - meaning he's gained almost a pound a week over the past several weeks! (the typical weight gain is only 1/2 lb a week). He's now in the 80th percentile for weight - whereas at his two week appt - he was only in the 25th percentile. All that yummy milk!



He's getting cuter every day. He now smiles and coos when you talk to him. He likes to grab at everything in sight, whether it's my hair, necklace, or shirt. He's a very active little boy and when he is awake, is always wiggling his arms and kicking his legs. He's always trying to hold his head up, but just when you think he finally has a hang of it, he'll bobble it around.


His favorite toy is the fun toy mirror. We have it on his changing table and he now loves to get his diaper change. He loves to pull at all the fun toys on it. As soon as he sees it, he gets to excited and begins to grab for the toys and kick his legs. His other favorite toy is the swing. No matter if he's happy, grouchy, or tired - he always loves to go in his swing. When I put him in, he immediately turns his head to look at the mirror and mobile attached to the swing. It's so cute. Thanks Chels for the awesome swing - it's such a lifesaver! And as you can see from the pic below, we're still working on trying to get him to like the activity mat.





Now I'm just working on getting him on a consistent eating and sleeping schedule!
