Talon's Birthday

On Friday, Talon turned 1 year old! It's hard to believe that time has gone by so fast! We were able to spend his birthday with Chelle and Morris, Ky's mom and dad, Kade, Ky's brother, and his wife Lacey, and Ky's sister Sierra. Also attending our get together were my sister Marsha, her husband Daryl, and their twin boys, Cameron and Lincoln. My brother Chase was also able to come and eat with us. We ate at one of my most favorite place's to eat on earth, the El Camino in Tulia. Sierra and her husband Kyle live in Panhandle and Kyle also helps coach there and the Panthers were playing the Tulia Hornets, so we decided to make our way up I-27 to watch some high school football. Talon was able to chow down on some birthday cake and open one present. The rest of the presents stayed home. This year he got a lot of ball things for his birthday, so we have balls all over the house right now. He loves to throw them and bang them together and even just hold them. He loves balls!

Today, we went for our 1 year check-up with the doctor. Talon is 22.5 pounds and is 30 1/4 inches long. He is in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height! Everything is looking good and we are transitioning to drinking cow's milk now!! Yea!! No more formula! I then had to help hold my poor baby down while he got 4 shots!! :( The worst part about being a mommy! Talon screamed, then cried, then screamed some more, and then he was just fine. He is fine now that we are home and he is full of Tylenol. He got his first MMR which sometimes can make them sick, so we will have to see how he handles it. We never hand any problems with Rylan and his shots, so we will just have to see.

On another note, Rylan's football team won their first game Tuesday!! Go Cooper Pirate Red Team!! The score was 43 to 40!! We finally figured out that a two running back set works for us! Rylan plays running back mostly now and occasionally quarterback. Rylan had 6 touchdowns and 4 extra points we think. He also chased down and pulled lots of flags. I guess all that practice with his dad has paid off! Rylan even threw a completed pass. Before the game, Ky told him to just relax and make a good pass because they can't tackle the quarterback when he is throwing. So, when he threw the most beautiful spiral pass that you have ever seen, he looked up in the stands to Ky with a huge smile on his face and waved at him like "did you see that"! It was so cute!! We are so proud of him and he was so excited. We video taped the game and Rylan already watched it twice when we got home last night. I guess he is pretty proud of himself too!! Until next time...
