the greatest baby in the world

dave and i were discussing the other nite over dinner how talan really is the world's greatest baby. seriously. but we know that if we tell people that, we will come across like typical parents. all parents think they're kids are the best, right? well, after having hayden i always fully admitted what a terrible baby he was. and it made me mad that i had never heard any other parent say how awful their kid was. was i the only one with a bad baby? no. people lie. but not me. i tell it like it is. people would laugh when i said how horrible hayden was. thought i was over exaggerating. but i wasn't. and i'm not when i say how great talan is. he really only ever cries when he is hungry or tired. and that's it. he's delightful. when we go to get him from his crib in the morning, there he is looking up at us with a big smile on his face. as hayden has decided to harass him more and more, talan just takes it. we took the boys to a dance party the other nite and they both were awake almost the entire time. talan took the tiniest cat nap but he didn't make a sound the whole evening. and i'm not even telling you how late that was. mom is still trying to get that part out of me. point is, he was known as "party baby." he had a great time and didn't cry once. so while hayden has been healthy and super smart with a terrible temperament, talan has been sick with a wonderful temperament. we're hoping he's not a total dummy to make him the complete opposite of hayden. and i know it could all change next month. but for now, talan is the greatest.
