I just love my little boy sooooooo much! It's hard when you only have one child and you don't know if you will ever have any more. I still act like he's my baby, because he is!! Landon and I goo and gaa over every little thing he does. All we do is talk about Tanner, laugh at Tanner and dream for Tanner! He is our EVERYTHING. He completes us!! Does every parent think their child is JUST ADORABLE and the funniest, cutest, sweetest thing alive? Well, I DO!! I think (and hope) other people think he is just as adorable as I do too though. He really is an angel. When people compliment him and tell me they think he is cute, I just reply "I KNOW!" They think I'm some cocky, snotty mom!! ha ha. But it's true...I think he is perfect.
I don't want him to grow anymore. I need him to need me and I know there will come a point that he won't anymore. It brings tears to my eyes to even think that. Tanner is our world and I don't ever want him to leave us.
Tanner tells me at least 10 times a day, throughout the day at random times, "mommy, I yuv (love) you!" It melts my heart and makes everything I do and sacrifice for him totally worth it!
Here are some cute pictures from today, playing outside.
The trees are beautiful...bright red and orange, green, yellow and brown.
I love the Fall.
The golf course down and across the street from us.
The Lake at the end of our street!
Our backyard.
A few quick, funny quotes from Tanner:
Tanner looking at my painted red toenails: "I yike your red feets mom. I got no red feets, I got white ones!"
Tanner watching me put on pantyhose for church: He runs up to me, rubs my legs and states with enthusiasm and a questioning mind: "Are those your big, big, big, big socks!? They are so yong."
Our conversation 5 minutes after Tanner WATCHED ME clean up the basement and pick up his toys: "I’m having a hard, hard day mom. Why honey? I don’t feel good. Why honey? I cleaned up too much!"
I LOOOOOVE HIM!

Seriously, JIll, Tanner is the cutest!!!! He is just as funny, adorable and sweet as your "mommy eyes" see him! He is a little angel! I love to hear Tanner quotes! They make me laugh so much, sometimes to tears! :) He is so funny! The "yong socks" cracked me up! ha ha! And those pictures of your STREET! How gorgeous!!! That is awesome! O, and bytheway...I say the same thing when people compliment Bailey.."I know." ha ha, I never no what else to say! I say that or "I think so too." ha ha :) What can you do when you have such adorable children?!
I think even I love Tanner as much as you do. Okay, maybe not AS MUCH since you're his mom and all. But still... he's a cutie. Isn't it amazing how much we can love our kids? Sometimes it hurts because I love them so much!
You don't know me but I had to post and leave a comment. I found your blog from a friend of a friend and your husband was one of the APs on my mission. Small world of blogging (he may not even remember me). Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and say hi and say how CUTE I think your family is. Your Tanner is a total cutie and I only HOPE all moms love their kiddos as much as you love yours :)
He is one lucky boy to be adored by parents, family, friends and even people he doesn't know.
It is impossible to love someone too much, especially with a cute face and sweet personality like that!

I adore him so much and don't even know him. He seriously has the cutest sweetest little face. Children are so wonderful and easy to love! I'm with you on hating that they grow up and don't need their mommies so much anymore. But somehow all moms get through it I guess. I love that he was tired from not cleaning! Sounds like my kids.
Jill...your blog is so funny. I was laughing so hard at the crazy posts! Tanner is ADORABLE! He has such a beautiful little face. I know how you feel. Sometimes I hug Fred so hard and kiss him so much that he starts to whimper and push me away....but I cant help it. I just love him endlessly.
Oh, and I laughed my head reading all the things Tanner said....especially when he said he was tired from cleaning. Hilarious!
I am so glad you are doing well. It has been so long since I have seen you. You look exactly the same!
That is so cute! I am so jealous that Tanner is still so sweet. Hannah is trying so hard to be independent. She doesn't want to do anything I ask or tell her to do. But she's a funny kid and I love and adore her. I don't think it's strange at all to feel the way you do about Tanner. You guys are a great example and reminder to me to be grateful for my kids every single day. When I get angry, I stop and ask myself what I would do if I didn't have my babies. I might have more money, but I wouldn't be nearly this happy. :) Tanner is adorable, by the way!
I will never put on "yong socks" again without thinking how big, big, big they are. You need to wrtie a book with pictures and all his funny sayings. I want red feets, too. Tanner is incredible, but so is his mom!
Jill,
I hope it's okay that I checked out your blog. I just noticed that you had posted on Holly and Kacie's so I wanted to see if I knew you too. Your blog is great. Tanner is adorable.
