7 months already.

Fun at the park on a nice spring day.
Titus and Carson loving on each other. Notice the matching outfits. We were going for some cute photos, but Carson would have nothing to do with it, but we got this which is super cute too.

Titus in his sunglasses. What a cutie.


Time flies when you're having fun. Six months has come and gone so fast. Titus is now almost 7 months old. He is changing so fast these days. He is finally taking to eating solid foods. He wasn't to sure about them for a while. He really likes sweet potato, banana, peas, and any of hte above mixed with avocado. He loves to have some apple in the mesh feeder and anything he can feed himself. This week he started scooting around on the floor and he got up on all fours. I dont' know what I am going to do when he can move. I'm not sure I'm ready. He has also found his voice. He likes to jabber and say, da da da da da. I keep telling him, no ma ma ma ma, but he won't listen. Oma says O ma ma ma, but he won't do that either;) We also felt the first tooth yesterday. He was chewing on my hand and there was a little sharp beginnings of a tooth. Maybe all the "teething" will finally break for a while? We can hope. We are just really enjoying this age. He is so fun and so smiley. His smiles are good medicine. He has made a few peoples days with his sweet smiles and it does my heart good when this happens.



Now, the Mother of the Year award goes to....ME! Yeah, I didn't have such a great day in the mothering department. First of all, I was lifting Titus to look out the window of the church and smack, he hit his head on the window. It didn't seem to phase him, but I felt like a dork. Then, we come home, and I have to give him a quick bath because his diaper exploded all over. Well, he wasn't too happy about any of this, and as I was bathing him he was flailing and slipping all over the sink. Well, he slipped and I didn't have a good enough grip on him and he smacked his head on the sink. This one did phase him and we had tears, from both of us. I felt so bad and I was really worried about him. I called Jeremiah and he just told me if it was a concussion they couldn't do anything about it anyway. Thanks dad, that's helpful. Well, he seems fine and has been his normal self the rest of the day.

Fun Fun 6 months




Six months is such a fun age. Titus is so into everything. He watches everything that is going on around him and he wants to be involved in everything. He is such a happy boy. Everybody in the nursery comments on what a smiley baby he is, and boy is he. He will smile at just about anything. He does this cute little scrunch up his nose thing when he gets really happy and kind of snorts. He is sitting up now. He started sitting up about 2 weeks before he turned 6 months. He loves to sit ont he floor and play with is toys. In the last week or so, he has started really jabbering. He is starting to put 2 vowel sounds together and he has learned to screech. Cute the first time, now, not so cute. He is also very interested in faces. He tries to take off your nose and your mouth, which can be ouchy if his nails aren't clipped. I have a few scratches on my face to prove it.


Last week started feeding him solid food. He had oatmeal first. He made a funny gagging face when he ate it the first time. He wasn't too interested in that, but then he had bananas. YUMMM-O. He loved them. He has also had avocado (he thinks it's ok, but yummy if mixed with bananas), sweet potatoes, and pears (which he also loves). He does ok eating, but he really prefers mommy's milk to any solid food.


Titus got to meet our friends Jordan, Charlotte and Caedmon for the first time this week. What a blessing it was to see such great friends. Just wish we would have had more time together.


We're having fun and wishing spring was here. We can't wait to go out and play more often.
