A thought on babies...

I just love babies (mine especially)! I told Brad he is in trouble because I love having little babies around. I love everything about them. From their squishy cheeks to their sweet smiles to their complete relience on everyone around them. I love watching them make new discoveries and get so excited over simple things like a TV remote (when Tanner gets his hands on the TV remote you would think he won the jackpot). Tanner is such a mama's boy which can be difficult at times (especially Tuesday nights when I have to teach and Brad is home with him) but I have to admit I love it too. It just melts my heart when his face lights up when I walk into a room, or how I can calm the biggest fit just by picking him up, or how he nestles his head (helmet and all) into my shoulder and gives the best loves. It makes me sad that he is growing up so fast. He wants to be just like the rest of us. Today at Costco we were all eating pizza and he was so upset he didn't have any. I gave him a piece of my crust to gum on and he was in heaven. Brad tried to take it away from him 10 minutes later to wash him off and he started yelling at Brad. You don't take food from this kid. The other night we stopped by my parents house and my mom sent us home with a loaf of bread. Tanner grabbed a hold of that bag and refused to let go. He held the loaf the entire way home (he knows a good thing when he sees it!)
