"Tanner"
Tanner has been making leaps and bounds lately. It seems like he is doing something new evey day. He’s such a cool kid:)
Continue Reading →Tanner all of the sudden has entered that “terrible twos” phase. If I give him a toy he doesn’t want to play with he throws it on the ground. If I ask him for a “kiss kiss” and he’s not in the mood he pushes my face away. If he’s not getting the attention he […]
Continue Reading →I’ve been working on “Kiss Kiss” with Tanner for months and now he’s got it. They’re a little wet but we love em’. He’s so proud of himself (we praise and applaud him) that he’s doing without even being asked. I’m super proud and this has made my day, month and year:)
Continue Reading →Before I became a mother I remember imagining what it would be like. I also remember thinking how awful it would be to have a child with special needs. I felt sorry for the men and women I saw in public with kids with Downs Syndrome, in wheel chairs or with any of those sort […]

Throughout our WHS get togethers every few months we have talked about this and how it does not seem to be documented anywhere. I’ve asked all of Tanner’s doctors but nobody really has answers. Tanner […]

Tanner was born on February 25th of 2009. He was diagnosed when he was […]

I can’t believe this was Tanner’s 3rd Easter!!! Time goes by so fast. I had the cutest Easter outfit for him which included long sleeves and a Jeff cap. THe weather was surprisingly warm so we had to go with plan B. Tanner makes any outfit super cute though:) We started the day with Easter […]
Continue Reading →Yesterday from http://Thankful4Tanner.blogspot.com Most of you know that Tanner had multiple surgeries on Friday. Our biggest fear was Tanner going under and coming out of anesthesia. We were so relieved to hear that everything went perfectly in that department. Tanner first surgery was with the urologist. This man is an amazing doctor. Before and after […]

It’s actually something I’ve always struggled with. I’ve always been worried about other’s opinions rather than mine. I remember in middle school having a year that I just wore the most ridiculous get […]
Continue Reading →Hi everyone, I came across this blog only days before our WHS gathering at Lauren’s house last Saturday and we talked a lot about it there. It took me a week but I finally made it. What a great idea!!! I’ll start by introducing our family to those of you we may not have had some […]
Continue Reading →Wolf-Hirschhorn parents, family members, doctors and therapists are rising up and I LIKE IT. The crowd is getting motivated to produce change and that makes my little heart go “pitter-patter” with excitement.
