Crazy month!!!

This month has been full of fun and craziness. 

My brother Blake got married at the beginning of the month!

Here are some pics from January.

Grandma Turley flew us out for Blake's wedding

Tallin loved watching all of the workers at the airport.

Tallin had fun exploring grandma's house.
He can actually get around and check everything out now.
That was interesting haha.

He found the stairs!

Playing with grandma's toys.

At the wedding!

"Mom I am ready for the wedding to start"

Karilyn, my new sister-in-law, made Tallin a bow tie to wear.

Blake and his new family!

Tallin loves Brett when he holds him. It's super cute.
 He kept trying to grab his chin.

After the wedding we took the boys back with us while everyone else cleaned up. 

The Ahrend family also came over after the wedding. At one point I was in charge of watching all of the kids while my mom and Jackie went to the store. I have to say, it was a lot of fun! I sure hope we can have a big family like that. But then again, the Ahrend kids have always been so well behaved.

While I was down for Blake's wedding my cousin's baby got blessed. 

He is so cute and so chubby I love it!

I love all of the Ahrend kids. They will always have a place in my heart!

Grandma and Tallin

I love you Danni!!!

These girls LOVE Tallin!!
They followed him everywhere and always wanted to play with him!

Our plane got delayed going back to Arizona, so we went and played at a park by the airport!

Tallin loves to TRY and help me with the laundry.

Love this cutie.

10 month old photo

Also, the day after Tallin turned 10 months he got sick.

It is so hard to watch your little guy have such a high fever! 

It was a rough week for sure. The fever lasted a whole 6 days!!!

Then I got sick!
Then the whole family got sick!
Being around a bunch of kids can be hard because we are always catching the bug going around!

We are so excited for February because Grandma and Papa Baxter are coming to visit!

Our Big Boy is 6 Months Old!

 We can't believe Tallin has already been with us for 6 months!!!!!

Weight: 17 lbs 12oz (54%)
Height: 26 1/2 inches long (53%)

He is now eating baby food. He did not like it at first, but is getting use to it.
He loves baby yogurt bites. 

He wears 6 to 9 month clothes. We have a chubby boy on our hands!

Arches his back when he wants something or is tired. 

Loves throwing both hands up and down. 

He is sitting up with some help from mom or the breast feeding pillow. 
He is not a big fan of breastfeeding anymore. This has made me so sad!

Tallin is taking 3 naps a day. They have gotten longer. This has been awesome because I have had time to work on crafts and get the house decorated. 
I have been trying to train him to go down by himself.  So of course we have had some scream time in his crib.  It's hard on me to hear him cry so much, but I keep telling myself that it will pass and he will get used to going down without nursing.  He is getting better, but I have a feeling he will always cry at least 10 minutes before going to sleep. 
He is loving to cuddle and I am loving it! He will hold me so tight!
He will also do this to strangers. It is adorable.
Tallin loves to do a fake cough. It is super funny when he does it.
He still loves chewing his thumb and sometimes sucks on it. 
He is chewing any and everything!!
Tallin makes the loudest squeals and scream noises a lot. 
Got his 6 month shots and cried until daddy picked him up. 
Every time I am nursing him and he hears dad come in the room he has to stop nursing and look for daddy. He sure loves his dad!
We love you Tallin!
