December has been a fun month for Tanner, full of activities and adventures!
At the beginning of the month we went to the Phoenix Light Parade. Tanner really liked it and kept clapping, pointing and saying "Whoa Wook at Dat" (Whoa look at that) So cute :)
Tanner is so funny...always ready for the next laugh! He really cracks me up!
December 15th, Tanner turned 2! I cannot believe that he is 2 already! It goes by so fast! We are still working on standing and taking steps in his walker, but I know he will get it when he is ready. Practicing patience is hard, but also so rewarding when he reaches that goal! He is talking more and more each day, repeating EVERYTHING I say in his own comical way! Adorable! :)
Tanner received clothes, cars, bath toys, a mickey mouse car, mega blocks, and "A band in a box". The mickey mouse car is by far his favorite! He played with it nonstop for the first 2-3 days. Still plays with it everyday with his other toys!
One of Tanner new favorite activities is "wrestling" with Daddy. It's actually just Tanner climbing all over Ray, but Tanner loves it none the less. Ray is a good sport about it too!
For one of our family nights we went to the Mesa LDS (mormon) Temple to see the Christmas lights. There are always so many lights, and they have the Nativity set up there too. Tanner loves all of the lights, and he really like the Nativity.
On December 18th we attended the Annual Spina Bifida Christmas party for Arizona. We also invited Grandma Pat, and Grandpa Ken to go with us. Lunch was served, and there was entertainment (dancing). They also had coloring stations and ornament making stations for the kids. Grandma and Tanner made an ornament. At the end, every child has the opportunity to sit on Santa's lap and receive a gift.
Needless to say, Tanner was not too excited to sit on Santa's lap. But I couldn't go without a picture. Although he is screaming, I still love this picture! It makes me smile!
He received a cement truck which came with 3 balls to play with too.
Tanner loves his cars and trucks!!! He plays and plays and plays and plays....and this is usually the end result! I was running around doing laundry while he was playing..... thinking it's much too quiet.....went to see and this is what I found..... Tanner passed out on the floor!
Whew ....... that was exhausting....
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
