Sleepy heads!

I just love these two!! While I was getting ready for our day
my guys slept as long as I let them.

Talan's new toy!

Last night we put together Talan's bouncy to give him something new
to hang out in. He liked it for about 5 minutes but then he was over it.
I do believe Matthew and I had more fun with it. Hopefully he will get use
to it and give mommy a break. He is liking to be held only these days so
we are trying to break him of this before he starts baby school. I think we
have made him rotten.

Big Helper!

Aunt Leigh lovin on Talan

Sunday night Talan's Aunt Leigh came over to visit.
He was so happy to see her and just loved her lovin on him.

I got Talan some big boy pants and thought they were so cute and just had to get his picture however he was not very happy with me. In fact he was so mad it wore him out.

Happy Birthday Matthew!

Today is Matthew's birthday and we have a grown up day planned with a surprise. We went to the Alabama vs. South Carolina game down in T'town with Jeff and Lindsey. My sister MeLissa watched Talan for us and even though I knew he was in great hands I was so nervous. This was our first time leaving him for all day. However once we got to the game I was o.k., I only called once. We had a great time at the game and it was even better when they won the game even though it was a close one. When then went and saw the new stadium section and looked at the walk of fame. It looks so good. After that we went shopping for of course Talan (he needed a prize) and then stopped into Phil's for a little while. Little did Matthew know that we were doing all we could do to stall time because I had him a little surprise party planned.

Surprise Matthew!

SURPRISE!! I threw together a little surprise party for Matthew praying that it would work out because I was so last minute in my planning. Luckily with us already having plans going to the game he never had a clue. And thanks to Lindsey and Jeff who helped me get him to Dreamland with not ever giving anything away. Matthew said a couple of times that we could just grab a bite in Tuscaloosa but thanks to Jeff he steered him to want to go to Dreamland. He was surprised and had a good time which he deserves. He has been such a wonderful hubby and daddy and we just wanted to make him feel special on his big day. Now he is the big 30 and he can quit giving me a hard time about being old. Happy Birthday honey!!

Our little family

What a fun day we have had. I can't believe it all worked out and he actually was surprised. After being away from our little guy all day we were glad to see him but we did realize that it is ok to have a grown up day every now and then.

We didn't have to worry about who was going to feed Talan he was well taken care of and he definitly stole the show. Thanks to everyone for helping make Matthew's birthday so special and Talan's belly full.

Party Pooped!!

After a long day Talan was pooped! This was on the way home he got a hold of his daddy's finger and went sound asleep.

7 weeks old!

Talan is 7 weeks old today!! This little guy is growing like a weed. He is starting to smile more and more and makes all kinds of sounds. We were being so silly today and he was just eating it up. I never would have imagine how much fun being a mommy would be but it truly is a blessing.

My Boys!!

Daddy and Talan trying to rest while crazy momma takes pictures. I just thought they looked so sweet. There's definitly no question in who he looks like for sure.

Collin's Bday Party

Happy Birthday Collin!!

Yummy!

Who do you think had the most fun?

Talan lovin

Talan getting some lovin from all the mommies. The kids weren't to interested in him but thats ok he'll be running around with them in no time.

Group Photo

Us silly mommies wanted to get all the kids pictures together. I think we did pretty good considering the ages we were working with. Talan I have to say was very good and was the best listener.

Talan's visit to BE*Kare

Today we had another big day. We went and had Talan's first pictures made which he was a little fussy but he did good and she got some wonderful shots. After we were done we made a visit to BE*Kare to visit all the ladies I work with. It was so good seeing everyone however made me realize how much I am not ready to go back. They were all so sweet and got on to me for waiting so long to let them see little Talan. He will be going to school there as well but not until April so mommy has to leave him for a month. (But we are not going to think about that right now.) Anyway he met his future teachers the ladies in blue, Ms. Stephanie and Mrs. Becky who are just great and I know will take great care of my little man. They just ate him up, it was so sweet. Matthew was there as well so he got to see Talan's future room and see the craziness that goes on in a room with 8 babies. The ladies at the top are my crazy co-workers a.k.a the bosses Renae and Kristina. It was nice seeing everyone and I am glad they got to see Talan but it didn't make me want to go back to work any sooner!! Maybe for a visit but thats all.

What is that?

I just had to show this. I thought it was a big moment. Talan is now starting to notice things a little more and here I got him looking at the bunny on his bouncy, which he has never notice before. He watched it on and off for awhile. He even hits it when he is moving around. I am so proud, him so smart.

I love my cousins!!

I'm telling you what Talan is one lucky little boy. He has 3 of the best cousins anyone could ever ask for!! On Sat. they came over to visit since they couldn't really hold him at the restuarant on Friday night. They each had there turn feeding him his bottle as well as burping him. As you can see he is one happy little fella. Only if they lived a little closer. (ha! ha!)

Dinner with the O'Briens

Tonight we met the O' Brien family minus one at the O'Charley's in Fultondale. It was our first Friday night to go to dinner since Talan was born so of course we had to take pictures. He slept for the most part but when it was time for him to eat we had plenty of helpers. Melissa won the battle to feed him but when it came time to burp the war was on. The girls had to wash their hands so William actually got a turn which he has not had since Talan was in the hospital. Then Hannah and Olivia got their turns. I know one thing we have us some good babysitters. They are so good with him and just love him so much. When it was time to go little Talan was wore out from his very busy day and slept all the way home. Don't let him fool ya though we stayed up until 2:00 am when we got home and that is how we got our blogging done. Gotta love it!!

Curious Cat

Everyday the kitty is getting more and more curious about Talan. I thought this was so funny. I took the first picture thinking that, that was as close as the kitty was getting to him. Then he got closer and the more Talan made noises the closer he got. However, the last picture was a close as he got and he stayed watching Talan until Talan got fussy and then he darted into the kitchen.

6 Weeks Old

Today was a busy day! Talan turned 6 weeks old today which I can't believe and I had my six weeks check up. We all went to the appointment because I wanted Dr. Stone to meet Talan since he was not there for his delivery. I also just wanted to show him off to everyone. The last time we were there I was only 2 centimeters and 20% afaced and we all thought I would be there the next week for the appointment however little Talan had other plans. I went into labor the very next day. Dr. Stone was impressed!! Gina is our nurse and she is great!! Anyway I got an o.k. that everything is doing what its suppose to and now we can have more babies!!
