A year ago...

I was just reminiscing today. It was a year ago at this time that Megan and I began sharing the good news, that God had blessed us with a child. The last six months we've been able to share the consummated blessing, Titus, through this blog and in person. I could have never fathomed the challenge of parenting a year ago, but I also could not imagine the depth of love a father can have for a son. Nothing completes a day like coming home to "smiles for daddy."

I'm thankful for a helper (Megan) who's new life purpose is to raise our son "to grow in wisdom, and stature, and in favor with God and man." Kudos on her efforts that often leave her spent. Thanks also to all of our family and friends who have been praying with us and for us for Titus ever since we shared the news last February! What a difference a year makes. We'll never forget it.

Titus is almost 6 months old. I don't know where the time has gone. He is getting so big. This last week We try to take pictures of it, but we have to be fast because the flash knocks him over! It's so funny. He loves to play in his excersaucer, walker and jumperoo. No more laying down for this big boy, that's for babies. I've been working on making baby food for when we start feeding him. I've made sweet potatoes, pears, apples, and avocados. i really wanted to wait until 6 months to start any solids, but I was convinced to try cereal this last week (what's 9 days, right?) Titus had oatmeal (homeade) and wasn't real sure what`to do with it. He did this fake gagging thing that was so funny. I laughed, because in a year we would not think the fake gagging is so funny. He's getting a little better with, but he's still not real sure. We're anxiously awaiting spring!
