11 Months

Tasman hasn't even turned one yet and he's driving the boat. He's so good he doesn't even have to face forwards!

6 fabulous months? Really?!?

The first 6 weeks with Tas were wonderful, but seemed to last forever. Where did the last 4 1/2 months go?

Each day we spend with Tas is an exploration. We love watching Tas learn and grow, and helping him to explore the world. This weekend, after trying to sit up since the day he was born, Tas finally is sitting up on his own. (OK, he does topple over after a little while - it's adorable!) Tas really doesn't care too much about getting places yet, but seeing them from an upright position, yes that seems to be critical!

Being a new mom has been a growing experience. I know that I've stressed about things that more experienced mom's don't worry about. (Yes, he will someday sleep through the night...I probably don't need to spend all my time reading sleeping books for tips.)

But now let's get to the important part...pictures!

Tasman wakes up!

The past two months have flown. Tasman is no longer the cute sleepy little lump, but has put on three pounds, grown about 5 inches, and is a wiggly bundle of energy. He loves to play with daddy and hang out with mommy. Cory has come up with all sorts of creative games to get Tas moving and laughing. We are finding our stride and looking forward to springtime when we can all get outside and have some fun.

We had fun visiting great-grandpa and grandma at Christmas. Tas decided to give mom and dad a break and sleep through dinner.

We get a lot of hugs in every day - there can never be too many of those!
