Now We're Cookin'!

Thanks to a friend from BSF who lives one street over, we are now the proud owners of a free Little Tykes kitchen. In the deal, we also acquired a grocery cart and a very random assortment of plastic food.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my friend's sister has another boy, because if so, I get first crack at her daughter's smocked dresses.

Sweet Home Alabama

We made a quick trip to Birmingham this past weekend. Here are a few highlights:


Tanner got to hang out with her great grandmother, GiGi.


We got to meet Walker Simmons and have breakfast with old friends that we miss terribly.


Walker's feet are already as big as Tanner's.


Worn out from the exciting morning.


Tanner was so excited to see her Aunt Tanner, she could hardly sit still.


The Tanners

9 Months

Even though she's officially 10 months old, I thought I'd share a few of Tanner's 9 month portraits. It's getting harder to get good shots since she's moving around!

War Eagle!

We don't have much Auburn gear (plenty of gator gear, though) to wear in celebration of the tigers' victory, so today Tanner will be dining on orange and blue food:
Breakfast: blueberries
Lunch: pumpkin
Dinner: carrots

A Christmas "Miracle"

While visiting her Conley grandparents in Virginia, Tanner decided that she was tired of just laying around and rolling from side to side. The day after Christmas she sat unassisted for the first time! I was so excited, you would have thought she had recited the pledge of allegiance. Geez, how will I act when she takes her first steps?

Merry Christmas!

Love,
The Conleys

The Kid Can Eat

After being told that I could start giving Tanner baby food at 4 months, I waited a month or so and then decided to give it a try. Our pediatrician recommended that we skip rice cereal and go straight for the good stuff. So squash in hand, we sat her in her high chair and went for it. Trying not to overwhelm her newly discovered taste buds, I tried to stop feeding her after 4 bites or so. She screamed for more, so we gave her half of the jar.



She has continued to devour all things vegetable and literally shudders when given fruit.
