"he moved for that name!!"

Dear peanut, or i guess i can say tanner, but... ur still my peanut :)

anywho.... i totally forgot to tell you how mommy chose your name. One night uncle tony and me were at your house and i was just speaking to you inside mommys tummy. I asked you a few questions and one question was,"Do you like the name Tanner?".... a second later you moved! i was so excited because it made me feel like you can hear auntie manda talk to you and you remember who i am so you move for me :) i told mommy right away,"He moved for that name!" im gunna say that had alot to do with your name being chosen, but i don't the real answer! haha love you lots peanut!

"his name is..."

dear peanut,

alot has been happening since you have been cookin' in mommys tummy! Auntie ash and nana had a baby shower for you on Feb. 26th. It was such a blast and all of mommys friends gave you so many cute presents! the best thing auntie heard that day was your name."his name is..." and i was so surprised because mommy was having a hard time telling other people. I was super excited to put a name to the face i have been thinking about :)

congrats! YOUR NAME IS TANNER RICHARD YOCKY :)

mommy and daddy are so excited to meet you.

a week later, March 5th, auntie rhiana and grammy had another baby shower for you! It was filled with so many pretty colors and you got alot more to fill your room with. At this point mommy has alot to do so auntie manda is going to help her fix your room up nice and neat so it will be ready when you get here! Mommy is 6weeks away!!!! :)

So far mommy's feet hurt the most, but its all worth it for little T! love you peanut!!!

"He is going to have a photo shoot once a month!"

Dear Peanut,

So hopefully mommy and daddy get to see you tomorrow, because tomorrow is their next doctor appt. But Today, me and mommy and daddy did a photo shoot for you. Most of the time they are called Maternity sessions. Daddy was silly, cause he has to always practice smiling, and mommy... She is beautiful :) It was really fun and I told your mom "He is going to have a photo shoot once a month!". I can't wait to meet you and take pics of you! You are going to be my favorite model :)

this is technically the first family picture together :)

love you peanut! mommys at 6 months!!! almost here!!! :)

"He must be punching so much cause we are watching a boxing movie!"

Dear Peanut,

So alot has been happening. at this time, Mommy is doing great! She looks like she has a basketball under her t-shirt :) and none the less, we all are just so excited to meet you! Last night, me and uncle tony went to the movies with mommy and daddy for your mommys birthday. We saw the fighter, which ended up being a really good movie! Believe me you will have you share of movie time with me and uncle tony, cause we love our movies!!! kay... so anyway, in the middle of the movie, your mom takes my hand and says, " wait... just leave your hand there... and wait for it...". I wait anxious because at this time I've only felt you kick one big Kick... welp, this tops it all! You were punching and kicking up a storm... I'd say for a good minute :) I looked at your mommy and said, "He must be punching so much cause we are watching a boxing movie." I can't really explain to you peanut of the feeling i get when i see your parents glowing and so excited because of you! It makes auntie very happy!!... Still no name for you yet, but mommy and daddy are coming close to top two :) Love you!

"can he please wear a tuxedo shirt"

Dear Peanut,

So while in mommys tummy, I'm sure you heard me screaming.... but me and your uncle Tony got engaged!!!!!! It was Auntie Mandas 25th bday and our 7yr anniversary. Mommy and Daddy could never really spend my birthday with me, cause thats the same day as your grandpas birthday too. So, Auntie Manda was soooooo happy that mommy and daddy were there to share the special news with us!!! Now.... we are planning a big big wedding :) its going to be fun!!! you might be still to little to come, but i did ask, "can he please wear a tuxedo shirt". haha.... so my style for you!

any-whooo.... i love you peanut and can't wait to see you again in a pic :) hopefully maybe you will have a name next.... we will see...

"was the burp you or the baby?"

Dear Peanut,

For thanksgiving, me and your uncle tony like to share the holiday with mommy and daddy. we try to have a mini thanksgiving together because the one true thing we all four are thankful for is our friendship. We named our special day THE GREAT TURKEY! next year you will be here!!! Mommy had the cutest tummy then, and we just talked to you all night. Here are some silly pics of the turkey haha..

this is your daddy trying to figure out something with that poor turkey... Haha! he looks confused! good thing mommy and uncle tony cooked this year! :)

Your mommy is such a good cook!

So is uncle Tony!

and Daddy... well he is a really good taste tester :)

When we finished eating dinner, mommys tummy made a loud noise. I said, "Was the burp you or the baby??!!". we all laughed and we still think it was you who burped cause you were so full from all the yummy turkey...
