15 months of hair and it was time to get it cut. I could only take so much of people telling me he needed a hair cut. I had to do it when I was ready and I was finally ready. We went to a fun place for kids. I thought it would make it fun for him. He got to sit in a cool Police Car seat and watch a fun Little Einstein video and as you can see... he was surrounded by toys. He hated it from the start.

This is his before photo. Hair is a little shaggy I will admit. But who looks at his hair with that smile???

The tears are flowin'!!!

This is the after effect of the traumatic hair cut experience. I had to break and give him the paci and he was out like a light. Precious.

All Boy

Saturday mornings Dave loves to take his bike around to yard sales and find toys for Taylan. This is one of his many finds. A toy truck. We have to talk to our cousin Cole about what kind of truck this is (mommy especially needs truck lessons) but Taylan loves to ride this truck. It's pretty funny. It's now an outdoor truck.

Random Summer Memories

Well this has been one crazy summer. I have been off my blog scene and have fallen way way behind. But with baby number 2 coming in two weeks, I need to catch up on my baby Taylan's photos. This summer actually flew by. These are some of my favorite moments.

Taylan got a sandbox this summer and fell in love with it. He loves to dig and pour the sand all over himself. It's so fun to watch him. It's also fun to play in the tub after a sandbox adventure!!

Nothing beats a naked baby running around the house. He's so funny when he's just in his diaper. He feel so FREE!!!! (typical male) This summer he has learned how to build a choo choo. Grandma Butler started this. Since Mommy is large and in charge this summer, I would get on my knees to build the bridge of blocks for him to knock down. Now he gets on his knees and says "choo choo" and wants to build with the blocks. He's getting really good at stacking them but absolutely loves to knock them down.

Shootin' hoops. I love this little K-State Shirt. He must have known our KSU Wildcats would not do so well in football this season and has jumped right to basketball season. Daddy got this basketball hoop from a yard sale and Taylan has no problem slam dunking!!! Look out Celtics.... Taylan might just be on your scout list.

I love this little outfit. He has so much fun running and playing with anything. He just makes me smile.

Taylan got this rocking horse for Christmas and has been loving it! Ride 'em cowboy! Time to Cowboy up!!!!

This summer Taylan found Dad's visors and loved to put them on... or attempt to put them on. The just hung around his neck and he would run through the house with them around his neck. It was funny. I tried to put them on his head but of course he would just pull them off in seconds.

I did however manage to get a photo of him in this KC Royals hat. He must like the hat. Maybe if he kept the hat on, the Royals wouldn't have done so poorly this summer. Maybe not. But doesn't he look adorable in this hat?
