More Pictures from visit

Again, these are photos from my dads camera. ( i accidently left ours out in the stroller and it got ruined in the weather :( ) I was so glad that they could come out and spend time with Ricky and Tavan. I know that they both really enjoyed the visit. Tavan loved all the attention and Ricky liked the "man time".

Hunting

I was not present for this hunt at all but my dad was and he was able to snap some pictures for us! Ricky and dad went hunting with Rickys dad, and 2 brothers.Shawn ( a brother) invited them along to go to a "top secret" place. well the place was a good one! Ricky and Shawn both got their elk and from the stories they all had a blast! so glad Ricky and my dad had this time to bond. enjoy the pictures!

I can't believe my baby boy is going to be 1 on Friday. Geesh! Time really does fly when you are having fun! Tavan is such a little sweetheart, Ricky and I adore him so much. Here are some things Tavan does

-he is always on the go....crawling or WALKING. He prefers walking but if he falls he will crawl over to something, stand up then take off!

- He loves stairs......(thanks to whoever invented the gate!)

-he is generally a happy baby

-he loves food! bread and potatoes are some of his favorites

sidenote....He remembers where candy dishes are! Once you walk in the door he will start pointed and "oh- oh-oh" like a monkey...hahaha

-He LOVES socks...strange i know but he does

-He likes wearing shoes (plus for mom!)

-He doesnt like anyone touching/riding in his car!

-He can smile, point, clap, stick his tongue out (see pic), scrunch his nose, and his recent trick is blow kisses (only took 1 day to learn)

-He likes to open cupboards and drawers (thanks to whoever invented cupboard locks!)

- He pulls anything clothes, movies, wipes etc...one at a time

-He is an awesome traveler....he doesn't mind going places and doing things just like his mommy!

-he likes to shop! hahah now if only we can teach him to not like the girl clothes in the store more than the boys! He always points and pulls at the girls stuff

-Ricky may not be so much of a fan but Tavan does like pink things.....he carries around anything that is pink...and he also loves to find my debit card!

- He loves his crib and bear without them going to sleep is rough

-He sleeps through the night

-Generally he wakes up happy!

Tavan is such an amazing kid! This year that we have got to spend with him has been awesome. It has been filled with ups and downs but I have enjoyed it so much. I cant wait to spend many more with him!!!

so after a few days of considering it, i am no longer continuing the blog challenge i started. 1 i have other things to and 2 ehh wasnt that into it! sorry!
As for other news, Tavan now walks everywhere, he still falls down a lot but if he can pull himself up on something he will and he will walk to he falls down again...its a cycle that never ends! Tavan is getting more and more adorable everyday and I cant believe he is going to be one on Friday...Where did the year go??
