1st Month

This precious baby was 1 month old last Monday (Valentine's Day). 

Stickers from etsy.com. The idea from my cooler than me friend, Crystal ;)

He is such a sweet baby.  Most of the time he eats and then drifts off to sleep on his own.  He actually had his first cry fit tonight (and he will be six weeks old tomorrow).  This is quite a change from sweet little Tucker who cried quite a bit for what seemed to be no reason at all.  I'm so amazed at this little miracle every day!

Valentine's Day

Tucker had to make a box for his friends at school to put his valentines in.  I think it was more fun for me than it was for him.  He was into it for about 15 minutes.

He did love getting his friends' valentines ready.  He picked one specifically out for each friend.

 And the highlight of my Valentine's Day...

The doorbell rang, so I went to the door and there was a card and candy sitting there...and Tucker and Cameron standing back watching to see my reaction.  (Cameron said that was all Tucker's idea)  So he got me this beautiful gerbil card pictured above. :)  Got to love little boys!  And by the way, does he not look like a grown kid in that picture?!  I am telling you, he totally grew up while I was in the hospital having Talon!

It Really Snowed!!

We have had lots of "snow talk" this year...not so much snow.  So when they started talking snow again this week we warned Tucker not to get too excited.  But last night it started coming down hard and it actually stuck!!  Daddy had to work late, until about 8:00 pm.  But he is such a wonderful Daddy that he still went outside and played in the snow with Tucker.  Cameron knew he wouldn't be able to play today, so we let Tucker stay up late and they built two snowmen.

Excited that the snow is still here, but it's cold!

Poor Talon didn't get to play in the snow...maybe next year ;)

Two Weeks...

Here are some new pictures of baby Talon.  He is still pretty perfect (if I do say so myself). ;)  

We went to Dr. Laubenthaul last Thursday for his two week check-up.  He weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and measured 21 inches long.  (He was 7 lbs 7 oz, 18.5" at birth...I'm thinking he was measured wrong in the hospital?  Unless he is super-baby and grew 3 inches in 13 days)  Of course there is not much else to report...Cameron and Tucker can't wait for him to "do something."  I, on the other hand, wish he would stay this sweet forever...well maybe not forever if I have to get up all night to feed him. 

Camo Cuties

Just had to share this picture.  I'm pretty sure that neither one of these boys would appreciate me calling them "cuties," but I couldn't think of a better word, so too bad!  Tucker and Daddy went hunting yesterday (today is actually the last day of deer season, if you didn't already know ;)).  Tucker loves spending time with his Daddy and I think Daddy loves his time with Tucker just as much.

New Baby and His Nursery

We are still on cloud nine around here since bringing home our newest miracle.  So far he is a really good baby.  Over the past day or so he has become more alert, so we will see if he continues to be such a good sleeper!  Big Brother likes him most of the time.  He made the comment yesterday that he thinks we should give Baby Talon to his cousins, but other than that he is loving being the Big Brother.

Here are some pictures of the nursery.  It turned out really cute.  I wanted it to feel really fresh and clean and I think I achieved that!  I am still looking for a rug and when we get his pictures back I am going to hang one on the left side of the window, but other than that it's finished...thanks to my mom and sister who helped me the day after we got home from the hospital! 

Thank you so much Jennifer for letting us borrow the cute mobile!  It works just perfect!

Notice the adorable giraffe behind the bed that Joanna made for me!  Love it!

 I am enjoying every minute of my life right now and feeling so undeserving of all my many blessings.  God is so amazing!
