Favorites and Not-So Favorites



Tanner is growing up so fast! He's getting very mobile, so it's hard to keep up with him these days. He is trying to walk now. He can walk from one room to another pretty good now. He's getting better and more confident every day. He likes to follow me everywhere. If I put him down and walk somewhere, I usually will find him walking right behind me with his arms straight up in the air and a huge grin on his face. I love it.
Here's some other stuff about Tanner:


Some of Tanner's favorites:
Piggyback rides
Pointing
Anything with a face (toys, people, pictures, books, etc)
Books. He loves to turn the pages back and forth and studies the pictures
Turning everything upside-down (puzzles, big toys, laundry baskets, even small toys he will just keep turning them over and over to see what's on the other side)
Wheels
Pictures of Tanner. He always gets a huge grin on his face when he sees himself.
Climbing upstairs
Opening drawers and cupboards... then taking everything out of them
Turning lights on and off
Buttons and any jewelry
Being chased and tickled


Some of Tanner's not-so-favorites:
People leaving (even strangers, but he's mostly sad when Daddy leaves)
Trying to get him to climb downstairs
When Mom says "no"
Putting arms through shirt sleeves
Getting his nose cleaned
When Mom tries to take things out of his mouth
