BEWARE!! CUTEST BABY ON EARTH

TANNER TRAVIS BALDWIN

9 Months

Isn't he the cutest baby ever!!!!! He is the joy of my life! He melts my heart on a daily basis. His shy personality is so cute. He does the cutest thing when he is feeling shy. He covers his eyes with his arms and tilts his head and tries to hide. I can't believe he is already 9 months old. Where does the time go? Before I know it he'll be leaving on a mission. He truly is such a blessing to our family. We love you Tann Tann!

Here are some fun things he is doing:

*Eats anything and everything.....he eats more than sissy!

*Weighs 22lbs and is 29 inches long...only 4 pounds under sissy!

(50% weight & 80% height)

*Army crawls

*Rolls super fast to get around

*Says Mama and Dada

*Loves to blow raspberries with his mouth

*Loves to be tickled

*Loves his Sea Turtle in his crib

*Loves his binkies

*Loves his Blue doggie and worm

*Loves his blanket

*Loves when Sissy plays with him

*Has the bluest eyes I've ever seen

*Some of his nicknames are: Bro Bro, Tann Tann, Tanner B., Buddy

Oh How We Love Him!

Leaves and Artwork

Earlier this month Sophie and Daddy spent a lot of time raking up leaves. They (well Sophie) had so much fun....I don't know how much fun Daddy had raking leaves...but I know he had fun having a little buddy outside to help him. Every once in a while I would look out the window and see him tossing her into the leaf pile. I can't remember why I wasn't out there helping, but it was something worthwhile...I think I was making homemade Strawberry jam or something like that. Plus, it was some good Daddy/Daughter bonding time.

Sophie is quit the little artist. She has been ever since she figured out what a crayon was. I never had to worry about her eating crayons because she was always too interested in coloring. She loves to 'color in the lines' she tells me and then sometimes she tells me "I just felt like scribbling". Since I am not scrapbooking and not keeping all of the art projects she has done here are just a few to keep for memories.

Sophie 28 months (September 2009) also working on writing the letter 'D'...the 3 on the right.

Sophie 30 months (November)

She loves to color when she goes to the gym....thats how I get her excited about going to the gym!!!

Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve at Sea World this year. It was so much fun. Our passes were expiring and since we may not be getting new ones since we are moving we decided we'd spend most of the day there. Sophie rode lots of rides, we saw lots of shows...well all of them...and then finished the evening off with a concert and firework show. Celebrating the New Year at 8pm was perfect for our family! This year is going to be an exciting and eventful one. With lots of changes coming our way. I feel its going to be our best year yet!

Sophie Playing

I love to watch and listen to Sophie when she is playing. She is really starting to use her imagination. Pretend play is so much fun! Here is Sophie playing in her new "Market" she got for Christmas. She loves to call her friends on her pretend phone too! This was Sophie calling her friend Elizabeth. She loves to have us order food through the window and give her money to put in her cash register. Should I be scared when she asks, "Mom, where is my credit card?" Then I had it to her and she swipes it! Ahhhh! Not to mention today in the car she says to me, "Where is my phone? I need to text someone"....What? I don't even text...we don't even have texting on our phone plan and all my friends know not to text me because it costs me 20 cents. Where in the world did she learn about texting!

Christmas Day 2009

We woke up around 8 am Christmas morning and saw that Santa had come to our house! Tanner was already up, so we waited for Sophie to wake up. She woke up in a bad mood so we just waited in her room until she was ready to come out to see what Santa brought. She finally woke up completely enough to realize Santa really must have brought her presents. So we opened the door from her room and she took off running with a smile from ear to ear. Tanner got excited too, since Sissy was so excited. What a fun and relaxing day! We played lots of games, took 3 hour naps, and played more games!!! I loved this Christmas so much!

This was Sophie opening the "Little Mermaid Barbie" she had been asking Santa for all Christmas!!!!! She sleeps with Sophie every night!

Tanner got a lot of Playskool toys with the balls!

Sophie, Tanner, and I got Daddy the game 'Operation' to see how good his hand skills are!
