T for Talin (or Two)

I just thought I'd share these pics taken of Talin a couple weeks ago. They were for his 2nd birthday. He is growing up so fast!

I'm 2!!!

Talin celebrated his 2nd birthday on Friday, Dec. 30th. Wow, I can't believe my little man has been with us for 2 years now! Talin talks a lot these days. Most of what he says is gibberish, but HE knows what he's talking about. But he is saying a lot more words and picks up on things really quick. He's totally in that copycat stage. He is our little social butterfly. He loves being around people and is so friendly. I was really shy as a kid, so I know he doesn't get it from me (thanks daddy!). His favorite toys right now are cars/trains/trucks, anything he can push around. I'm not sure what his favorite food is right now, maybe milk? He's going through a picky eating phase and he really doesn't eat much. I guess he just has too many other things to do, like watch cartoons and play with toys. He brings so much joy to me and Brandon. I can't imagine our lives without this little man.

On his birthday we just celebrated at home with a few presents.


He really enjoyed opening his presents this year.

On Saturday, the 31st, we had a party for Talin where we invited all of our families. We held the party at our church since our house is just too small to host a big group of people. It worked out great!

Grandpa Prescott has been taking cake decorating classes and offered to make Talin's cake. It looked so good! Not counting baking time, it took him 8 hours to make it. What a nice grandpa!





Talin wanted every present opened right away and he'd go hand it to someone so they'd open it for him. It was cute.

One of Talin's favorite gifts he got was a scooter from Grandma and Grandpa Bruun. He figured out really quick how to ride it and had a blast riding all around the gym.


Our happy little family.

Between Christmas and birthday, Talin got sooo spoiled this year from everyone who loves him. He's such a special little guy and we look forward to many more Christmases and birthdays to come!
