U of A tailgating

Yesterday we went with our neighbors and their friends to tailgate for the U of A game. They have an RV pass and have been going for years. So we all piled in the RV and were off to the game....

We got there at 12 pm and didn't get home until 10:30 last night...it was a long day but we had a blast! Trey ran and played with the kids all day.

Trey showing off his tattoo...
and of course Talan just hung out in his swing all day....They had this thing called "FAN FIESTA" where the kids could play on an inflatable obstacle course and rock climb. First Trey wanted to do the obstacle thing like 500 times....then he looked up at the rock wall and said "I want to do that"...I said "Are you sure?" and he said "YES". So they had to find a very small harness for him and then the guy had to still do some major adjusting to make it small enough. It took the guy like 5 minutes to get him all geared up and I'm thinking to myself, "all this work and Trey's gonna grab on to the wall and be done with it in 2 seconds"but boy was I wrong...he grabbed on and started climbing like a pro...I couldn't believe it! He was so cute because he would turn around and wave at everyone in the crowd with a huge cheesy smile. He made it almost all the way to the top and then I think he got a little scared when he looked back and realized how high he was. (he's waiving in this picture) Vanessa, Christie and I also climbed the wall....well we tried anyway. Look how high I got...

LOL....it's scarier than it looks! Pam held Talan while I climbed (tried to climb) the wall....isn't this the cutest picture?Tio Frankie and Erica stopped by the RV before they went into the game...

Daddy will think I'm Mickey Mouse

Friday Trey was in our bathroom going potty while I was cleaning our bedroom. His Mickey Mouse ears were hanging on the towel rack (because I had just picked them up off the floor) he could see them from where he was and asked me if I could hand them to him. Then a few seconds later I hear him say "Daddy will think I'm Mickey Mouse". I went to get my camera and this is what I saw when I came back....He always makes me laugh!!!!

Friday night I decided to put together the favors for Talan's Baptism....Trey decided he wanted to help (of course) so I let him play with my circle paper punch for scrapbooking and some scrap paper. Who would have thought he would be so amazed and thrilled with it! He thought it was the coolest thing ever...

Here is my finished product....

and here is Trey's....

Big boy in his highchair...

Tonight I decided to set up Talan's new high chair that I got for my baby shower. I have been feeding him in his bouncy seat but every night when we sit down for dinner, Talan gets a little fussy and I think it's because he just wants to be with us....so now he can. I wasn't sure how well he would be able to sit up in the new high chair but....
he is such a big boy!!! And this is my favorite picture of all time I think!!! He is just so freakin' adorable.


Here are some more random pictures we took of the boys tonight.
Trey in his new "hoodie" outfit....
Wow, now HE is really a big boy...they grow up so fast!!!

Baptism Pictures

We took Talan to picture people to get his Baptism pictures taken on Saturday....I requested that a manager do his photo shoot this time since we've had such bad luck the last 2 times. I always intend to go in there and only buy 1 or 2 sheets (since they are pretty pricey) but it's always so hard to choose. I have to really be disciplined so I don't walk out of there spending a small fortune every time. They turned out really cute and of course we couldn't get a good one of him smiling....then when we came back to pay, the same guy who took the pictures helped check me out at the register and Talan was just talking and laughing away! The guy was like, "oh now you smile huh?" And I was like, "yeah tell me about it!".

Today I had Talan in his gym on the floor in the office with me while I was stamping jewelry. He was moving all over the floor and I had to keep putting him back under the gym bc he would wiggle and squirm his way out from under it. Then I left the room for a minute and when I came back he was on his stomach! He rolled over!!! Yay Talan...except that I missed it!

CHEESE

I was looking through pictures on my camera tonight and I found these cute pictures of Talan....actually smiling! I guess Javi took them a couple days ago and I didn't even know it but I am so excited to finally be able to post pictures of his adorable smile! He is seriously always smiling but every time I try to take a picture of him when he has a big smile, he sees the red light that comes on before the flash goes off and he immediately stops smiling!

And here is another cute picture of him in the bathtub last night...I wanted to get a good picture of Trey and Talan together in the tub but Trey said to me, "No, just take a picture of my brother". Okay then.....

first haircut

Talan got his first (much needed) haircut tonight! Javi and I have been wanting to cut his hair for weeks now because it was looking so silly where some parts were so long and other parts were completely bald! One day last week I was picking the boys up from school and while I was carrying Talan to put him in his car seat...one of the other moms said to me "did you shave his head?" Yeah only right in the middle!!! So it was time....and it turned out so cute!!! Javi held him, I cut and Trey took pictures.....what a team! Here is a before and after comparison of how bad it was......

BEFORE.....

AFTER.......

What a handsome little guy!!!

"EO5"

Trey loves to weigh himself on the scale in our bathroom. This morning while I was brushing my teeth Trey yelled out "I weigh E O 5" He was so excited about it! I told him to go tell daddy how much he weighs and all the way down the hall to the family room (where Javi was watching TV) he kept yelling "I weigh EO5" Javi was like "WHAT?" I said "he means 30.5"!!!

He thinks the 3 is an E. I tried to explain that it was a 3 but he keeps insisting that it is EO5...what do I know?

time for cereal

Talan had his 4 month check up on Friday and got 3 shots! He did really good though...he is such a great baby...not even a few shots can make him cranky!

It's becoming more official that Talan is going to be bigger than Trey (poor little Trey). Here are his 4 month stats

• Length 26" (75-90th percentile)
• Weight 14 lbs 12 oz. (25-50th percentile)
• Head circumference 43 (50-75th percentile)...we always new he had a big head, even on the ultrasounds when I was pregnant. the reason my doctor thought my due date kept moving forward was because of his head and his legs.

The doctor said we can start feeding Talan rice cereal now...how fun! So we tried it for the first time last night. It wasn't as messy as I thought but I think it's because Talan is just so mellow and not too squirmy.

I realized last night that this is Talan's first time wearing a bib. What's the big deal about that some may ask? For those of you who don't remember....when Trey was a baby he went through about 10 bibs a day from the very beginning (no exaggeration) because of his reflux!!! I used to get upset because he ALWAYS had to have a bib on and you could never see his cute outfits! I just thought that was kinda funny...it's so hard not to compare every little thing about the boys...even wearing bibs!!!

You are probably wondering what I have done to this poor baby's face...he does it to himself but this is probably the worst. I have to cut his nails every 2 or 3 days and this still happens. Notice the little cuts are even in his ear...Sheesh!

Talan is 4 months old

Talan is 4 months old today! I can't believe how time is flying by and how big he is getting!

Talan's favorite things:

• smiling at everyone who talks to him
• talking and cooing in the morning in his crib when he wakes up
• sucking his thumb
• his big brother

We go to the doctor for his check up and shots on Friday so I'll update you on his stats then.
