A New Noise

I think Talon's face muscles around his nose just developed and he has been obsessed with using them. He does this all the Time! It is soo cute.

Happy Halloween!

Doesn't Tyler make a great Tarzan? The wig didn't last long.

Talon was the center piece for our trunk


Talon even found a monkey friend!

Last of Camping

We went camping and climbing the second to last weekend in october. We left at 11 at night and threw our sleeping bags on the ground. It was a chilly night. Talon was dressed in 3 super warm layers and his fleece blanket and slept all throught the night til 6 a.m. (which never happens). Tyler decided to try the fishing in the little creek we were camped by and got a bite on his first cast so we spent the morning fishing!
I caught a fish too! Tyler Caught 5 fish!

Talon had fun watching and playing.
Talon was kind of immobile in his big snow suit, he got very frustrated.
This climbing trip was harder than all the rest now that Talon is mobile. You have to watch and make sure he doesn't fall into a bush, pick up tiny rocks, and than when he gets really frustrated and cries and cries and bugging other climbers and I am belaying so I can't do anything, luckily there are nice climbers who want to hold babies.

This was the only time we had peaceful climbing- when he was taking a nap. He fell asleep while we were hiking. We didn't dare move him so this is how he slept.

Oh So Sad

Here are some of Talon's sad faces. I think they are soo cute!
This is curious face.

Play Time

Now that Talon has become mobile he likes to explore and get into everything, especially my decorative halloween tree. This picture was when he first discovered it and sucked on the branches and balls til it fell over on him. He had the black dye all over his face and was very mad when the tree kept falling over on him. Now the tree has a new home. Talon is so happy when he is standing! He makes the cutest faces!


He pulls himself up on anything he can find that's taller than him.

North Face of Borah

The Epic North Face Tyler and his new happened upon climbing partner that I still haven't met yet, attempted the North Face of Borah twice with no luck summitting(first time cuz they started late and crappy snow conditions). I like to count the second attempt a success because they would have made it except for they got turned back by some nasty avalanche conditions that they didn't want to chance that was close to the top.
Pretty Steep to me! Tyler loved it, except for the really long hike out.

Family Pictures

We took these at Tyler's parent's house, it was a nice day and we were wearing matching clothes, so why not?
