Titus has found his thumb

Titus continues to grow and change. He is really enjoying playing on the floor and looking at the toys hanging above him. He is staying awake and alert longer and longer. We just fall in love with him more and more every day. Titus has discovered his hands. He has been finding his thumb and sucking away a few times a day. I am afraid we might have a thumb sucker. I guess there could be worse things right?
The new building at church is finally finished. We had our first Sunday on October 26th. Jeremiah had been putting in a lot of hourse building the stage and it is finally done and it looks great. We are all glad to have more time together. If you are in the area, we are celebrating our open with a seminar call "The Dirt on Dinosaurs". It runs from Nov. 2-5 from 7-9 p.m. There are activities for all ages. There are even real dinosaur bones. I am excited to hear the seminars as this is a topic that really interests me. If you want more information you can look at www.crossroads-christian.org.
I have attached a video of Titus smiling away. He is growing so fast. I hope you enjoy. Oh and don't forget to vote next week.

Innocence lost

Titus had his 2 month appointment today. He weighed 10lbs. 5 oz. and was 22 inches long. That puts him in the 15th %lile for his height and the 25%ile for his weight, so he is a little guy. But, he looks fabulous. The doctor was very pleased with his weight. He did have to get his 2 month shots today and that was rough. Well, mostly is was rough on mommy. He was a champ. He stopped crying the minute I picked him up. Then, he slept most of the morning. I ran to Target to pick up a few things and halfway through Target, he started screaming. His tylenol had worn off and he was letting me know it. But, he's fed, had more tylenol and is sleeping again. But, he takes medicine great (I guess that's a good thing?)

Friday I laid Titus down on his tummy. I went to the kitchen to grab my drink, I came back and he was on his back. I thought maybe I had gotten his arm turned funny and that helped him roll. So, I put him back on his stomach and sure enough, he flipped over to his back again. He has done it a few times since then as well. I was shocked. I thought for sure the first time was a fluke, but he kept doing it. I can't believe how big he is getting.

We are excited about the Bronco game tonight. We are headed over to some friends house to watch the game and have dinner. Titus has his baby bronco socks on and is ready as well.
Hope you are all doing well and enjoying this beautiful fall weather before it gets cold later this week. The weather man said that there might be some (shhhhh, I don't want to say it to loud) snow later this week. I sure hope not. We're looking forward to the new addition at church opening up this weekend. We'll let you know how that goes.

A new life and it's great

Titus is 8 weeks old today. I can't believe how time flies. I asked Jeremiah the other day if he even remembered what it was like before Titus and we both agreed that it's hard to even remember. Things are calming down and we are settling into our new life. Titus continues to grow like a champ. He is over 10 lbs now and he is starting to get chubby cheeks and a double chin. I never thought he could get any more beautiful than he was the day he was born, but he just gets cuter every day. He is smiling at us now. Not just those sleep and gas smiles, but smile at you when you talk to him. It is so fun to see that little smile go across his face. His neck continues to get stronger and he is lifting his head more and more. It is so cool to see how he changes so quickly and learns to do new things.

We had a good time last weekend with Grammy, Papa, and Auntie Heather. It was nice to get to hang out with them for a few days. We took Titus to the pumpkin patch and tortured him by laying him on a few pumpkins trying to get the perfect picture. He pretty much slept through the whole thing in the sling. We got a really big pumpkin and plan on doing something special with it for Halloween. Keep your eyes peeled for those photos!

Jeremiah is still very busy building the stage for the new addition at the church, but it is really coming along. Opening Sunday is October 26th, so please be in prayer about that. We are all ready for things to slow down a bit so that we can have a little bit more family time.

Happy Birthday Daddy! Jeremiah will be 29 on Tuesday. Almost 30! Man he's old =)

I have lots of photos to share this time, so we'll see how many I can get up. Thank you so much for all your prayers and encouragement over the last several weeks. We humbly ask you continue to lift us up in prayer as we do many of you. Hugs and Kisses from the Holcomb's.

9 lbs. 4 oz. and 6 weeks old

Titus has really taken off. He has been gaining about 1 1/2 oz. a day for the last 3 weeks. So, we are really pleased with his growth. He is still getting several bottles a day, but we are trying to slowly increase how frequently he nurses. I am doing better balancing everything and most days I am feeling more comfortable with the way things are going.

Titus had his first tub bath yesterday. He really loves the water. When we wash his head, he totally relaxes and looks so comfortable. He is starting to sleep a little longer at night and go longer between feedings. He is so cute and fun. He loves to cuddle, which mommy loves.

We are looking forward to seeing Grammy, Papa and Auntie Heather on Friday. We love to get visits from our family. Oma and Opa like to come and visit at least once a week. I am so thankful for their visits. My mom is so much help and I wish she lived closer.

We have some friends who recently got some tough news about their baby who is due in February. Please pray that baby Boston would be healed and pray that Brian and Sarah have wisdom and peace as they face an uncertain future.
