Oh my ears are tired!

Lately things around here have been crazy. We've had things to do just about every day. June is usually a busy month for me anyway but for some reason this year it seems a little crazier. If my crazy schedule wasn't enough, my son has taken off with his jabbering. He's started saying so many new words and there are days I am so thankful for nap time. He is loud and seems to talk nonstop. I love that he's finding his voice but there are just some days that I long for quiet.

Talent has new words that he has been using quite often. It's exciting and also tiring at times. Since he's learning that words are exciting, he's trying more to say things. He has mastered "Riley" (one of our dogs) and has been saying it for quite some time now. He also has learned French fry, Nee Nee (my Mother In Law), donkey, bull, and frog. Now they aren't all crystal clear, but you can tell what he's trying to say. He's also able to say shoes and says this every single day when he's ready to get out of the house and go somewhere. He makes me tired with all of his jabbering. Don't get me wrong, I love that he's learning and growing his vocabulary. But, it sure makes you tired when you have to say, "Yes, I see" or "What?" 9,000 times a day. He always says, "HEY! Mom! MOMMA! MOM! Mom? MOMMA!" until he gets a response. It's cute but also draining. That is when I tell him to go talk to Dad. I know, I'm not nice to send him to his Daddy.

This child is changing and growing right before my eyes. I love it and hate it all at the same time. We had family pictures taken with my parents, grandparents, and my brother's family a few weeks ago. We got them back today and I see all of the changes Talent is making. He's growing and getting tall and skinny. He's just such a beautiful child. Seth and I sure made a beautiful baby. I'm going to leave you with a couple of my favorites from the session with Keelie Lipscomb Photography. She's truly the most talented photographer in our area. I just adore her.
