Talan one day old. I remember the first time they placed him in my arms, my first thought was oh he is BEAUTIFUL! He was such a pretty baby. Everyone always commented on how pretty he was. We still call him our pretty boy.

Today Talan turned five years old. He seems so grown up to me today. It's like he grew up over night. I read Talan's birth story to him this morning and a couple other entries from his journal of funny things he's done over the past five years. I can't believe he is five. I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around it.
Five things I love about Talan:
1. I know I've said it before but Talan has the best imagination of anyone I know. He comes up with the funniest stuff and never ever have I heard him say his was bored. There's always something going on inside his head. Until recently he still has been taking naps and me and Cort are convinced the reason why he still has needed them at this age is because his mind is nonstop. He's always been my child that I have to make eat, he would much rather be playing than eating. Eating is so overrated as far as Talan is concerned. It's always a good time when Talan is around.
2. Talan is the epitome of cool. This kid just walks around like he owns the place. Nothing intimidates Talan. He is very secure in who he is.
3. His laugh. He has one of those laughs where when you hear it, you have to join in. It's so contagious. Also his sense of humor. The kid is a crack up.
4. The way he talks. When he's telling a story he says "and then.." at the beginning of almost every sentence.
5. His cute little face. We call him our pretty boy and our ladies man. He has the best lips and sweetest smile.
The traditional birthday balloons. Before Talan went to bed last night he asked me "Do you think I will have balloons in my room in the morning?" He was not disappointed.
Playing Dentist with Easton on his birthday. The shoe, and the hanger and the cord were just a few of Dr. Talan's dentist "tools."
Talan loves ninjas, and swords and all things Power Rangers these days. Here's his cake. I made it, but Cort frosted it. We make a great team!
Talan's favorite things at the age of five:
Food: He is a carnivore. He loves meat! In any form really. It's the one thing I don't have to beg him to eat. He also loves peanut butter, he has a P & J for lunch almost every day. Color: Red and Black and Gray
Scripture story: In Talan's words "I like the one where the guy tries to get the plates."
Favorite Thing to do: "Play with my family." And I would add to this playing with Lego's, and any of type of toy really. He also loves to ride his bike and play at the park. Can't wait til it cools off a bit so we can make that a part of our daily ritual again.
We love you our Tally Wally, Whacky boy! You are such a blessing to us. So grateful you are a part of our family.

Oh boy, do we ever love that Tally Wally too. When Sarah called to tell him happy birthday, she went and shoved her head in a corner of the kitchen, far away from everyone for the entire conversation. I should have taken a picture, it was awesome.
