Talk Much?

I absolutely hate it when people are so full of themselves they can't see two feet in front of their own face. They're too busy saying "I'm so wonderful this, and I'm so wonderful that" to see that they're really not all that wonderful. If you're feeling this constant need to reassure people just how great you perhaps you should look into yourself and wonder what it is that's driving this need. Perhaps it's that you really aren't all that great.

And one other thing: people who say that they just can't stand drama are absolutely full of it. Just imagine how boring life would be if there was never any conflict. Stephenie Meyers sort of (intentionally or not, I don't know) touched on this in her book The Host. The species was a peaceful sort that were always perky and happy and never argued. Boring. End of story. Now, I'm not talking some baby mama drama but the every day sort of drama that people create just by being human. So next time you groan that you just hate drama, rethink that statement. Cause I'm willing to bet that the exact thing you're groaning about is something you'd miss if it was gone.

PS - I've started that novel I was dreaming about. It feels good to write again.

Impromptu Photo Fun

Tanner's at work and Caleb were just hanging out when I decided to drag out the black sheet, drape it over the couch and have a little photo fun!

Here are just a very few:

FIVE MONTHS!

REPOST FROM EMAIL:

FIVE MONTHS! Wow, I can hardly believe our little man is already five months old! It seems like Caleb has always been part of our lives but at the same time like he JUST got here…funny how that works. There is no well-child check at five months so we don't have any new stats to report at this time but on his ½ birthday he gets to visit Dr. Jacobs and get a new round of shots…lucky, Caleb! Not much has changed since our last update (since it took me forever to get the 4 month out!!).

He is sitting up like a champ and getting closer to crawling all the time (cool but not cool). He has an awesome appetite for his big boy foods and devours them! We are suffering his very first diaper rash and it's probably more traumatic for mommy then it is for Caleb. Oh, and we've nicknamed him Damian (KIDDING, MOM) because our little monster likes to GROWL. Yes, he growls. It's hilarious and kind of scary. I've recorded it on my cell phone and it's my text message alert…people have a hard time believing it's my little boy!

That's probably all that's new in Caleb's world. J We hope everyone is doing GREAT! We love and miss you all!

Hugs N Kisses,
Tanner, Tiffany & Caleb

Mama's SILLY Boy!

Fingers are SO delicious!

I can hold my baba like a BIG boy!

Fascinating PUMAS!
