"I thought I loved you then..."

Please forgive the mushiness :) but this has been on my mind for the past few days. I am sure every woman feels this way but I feel like I am the luckiest girl in the world! I have been reminicing a lot lately about when Tanner and I first met and our whole dating experience and our wedding day. Right before we got married Brad Paisley came out with this song Then and it has always reminded me of Tanner. It has always expressed how I feel about him.
I loved every stage we have gone through and I am loving the stage we are in now. I love seeing us tackle parenting together and learning how to cope with different situations. Pretty soon we will be purchasing my parents home...then we REALLY be grown ups. Every stage we hit, every point in our lives, it truly amazes me how much I have thought that I have loved him and seen it grow more and more with every day and every new experience that comes our way. I remember the day I knew that I loved him and reflecting on that day the day we got married. I have had that same feeling on each anniversary and especially the day Breckyn was born. It is such a special thing to know that our life time together is not just here on earth but for eternity. And there is now one else I would rather spend it with.

This is one of our engagement photos and I love it. Again it is amazing to think how far we have come since this day. Here is to Forever!

Breckyn is 8 Months!!

As always I cannot believe how fast the time is going this first year with our sweet baby girl! We have been on the sun the past few weeks with family reunions and Tanner's crazy work schedule and that just seems to make the time go faster. I love seeing how her cute little personality develops everyday. She is quite the talker. I love it when I am driving and I can hear her in the back talking to herself. Then when I go in the back to get her I see her twirling her binkie in her hands and talking to it :)
This past month we had a HUGE milestone that I am very proud of...Breckyn said, "mama" FIRST! Tanner was a little put down but I truly believe she said it because every time I would sit down to feed her I could say, "mama" over and over again and then one day she started to say it :)
Other milestones this month...

• She will now reach for me or Tanner when she wants us. ( I love it...it melts my heart!)
• She still doesn't have any teeth. I always think she is getting close because we will go through some very grumpy days but none have cut through yet.
• She can now sit herself up from laying down. It is the craziest thing to watch. She is growing to fast. I have found her sitting up in her crib in the morning.
• She did say "dada" a week after saying "mama" so Tanner is content now :)
• She will now feed herself her finger foods.
• She ARMY CRAWLS! now we are really on our toes 24/7

Meal time messes can be so cute!!!
