About my son

I am the proud mother of a one year old baby boy. He is incredibly hyper, joyful, and has an attitude bigger than he thinks he is. Balian runs non-stop through the house until nap time, when he starts fighting sleep until he passes out on whatever he's on at the time (generally, I try to make sure it's his bed). After he wakes up, he goes again until bed time. This kid has more energy than a pack of college kids after consuming three cases of energy drinks, just without the hormones.

Balian gets his name from a legendary crusader (Balian of Ibelin) who fought to save Jerusalem  before handing it over to Salahadin. Sounds awesome, right? My husband came up with it after watching the movie Kingdom of Heaven, starring Orlando Bloom and Liam Neeson. Although Balian is a real person, just not like Orlando.
