Absolute Cuteness

Obviously I am a little bias, but I swear this kid just oozes cuteness! Our little Talan is now 14 and a half months! Hard to believe, but in 3 and a half months he is nursery bound! We got him this new little highchair a couple of days ago so he could sit at the big table with us and he looks so big in it! At dinner tonite we looked over at him and he was just sitting there grinning with his hand under his chin (see pic) and we all laughed and told him to do it again, which he did over and over and over again. He really knows how to work a crowd. Every morning when the carpool comes to pick Tay up both boys run to the front door so they can say their goodbyes before she goes, she is definitely the ring leader around here, they both totally follow her lead. Tay usually makes sure she hugs and kisses them both before she goes. This morning the boys where standing at the door as she drove away, Chase screamed out "bye Tay" and then I heard Tally copy him with a "by ay!" He is starting to understand so much. Lately, he'll try my patience when I tell him not do something by looking back at me with a smile and mocking me by pretending he's going to do it anyway. A couple weeks ago he said ball for the first time and a couple days ago he said MAMA! I love this age. He is so curious about everything. He's now starting to climb on everything, which makes me nervous, he just seems too small to be doing that. I can hardly keep up. He carries random things around the house with him too, just like Chase use to, (big wooden spoons seem to be a favorite of his) and he loves to sword fight with his brother, as long as mom's there to keep things in control. He's very affection with all of us. When Cort gets home he runs to him DEMANDING his attention. He is still very cuddly especially at night and he's all about giving us all lots of kisses. He is very strong willed and not shy about letting you know when he wants something. He is truly changing right before our eyes. I need to savor these moments because I feel like they are slipping right through my fingers. Our very sweet and lovable Tally Wally.




This is how I found him a few days ago when I went to check on him during his nap. His sword is another thing that he loves to carry around the house.
