The McDougal Family: We're Back!!!

Yes, we are finally back from our very very long blogging hiatus! I haven't posted pictures forever! Don't worry, though, I have some today. Tanner is doing so many things these days, it is hard to remember what is new. She says so many words now! She says Mama, Dada, eat, dog ("doe"), cat(dat), hi!, bye, uh-oh, ball, down (dow), eye, nose (no), mouth ("mow"), Bobby (baba), no no, and she still tries to say "I love you" but it never sounds like that! When we were home for Christmas, she tried to say GiGi and she said "Ee-Ee". She hasn't said it on her own, though. She only said it when we were trying to get her to. She loves playing outside these days. It is really fun to watch her explore. She is also IN LOVE with Sesame Street. She will sit and watch an entire episode. It is really amazing! Elmo is her favorite. She gets very excited when they play Elmo's World.

She got a new playroom this week. We moved our house all around and repurposed some of the rooms. The office is now Tanner's playroom. This is great, because we can put all of her toys in there and shut the doors so they are out of sight. We moved the office furniture to the dining room and the dining room table to the breakfast room. It looks a little big for that space, but it fits fine. We are really enjoying the new office and playroom, though. The window in the dining room is bigger, so it is nice to sit on the computer now and be able to look out the window. Tanner got a giant zebra tent for Christmas from her Gammie and Mac and we set it up in her playroom. She sits in it and watches Elmo. She loves it!!

Well, on to the pictures. I have some from Christmas, but Erin and Haley took a lot more than I did so if you want to see them you can check out their blogs and scroll down to the Christmas portion.
