1 MONTH

Pics shown first.... I hate blogger. :)



Henslee and I at Peter's 30th birthday party.

Half of the room Layla-Grayce looks hilarious in this picture. :)


Other half of the room. We had a great time!




Peter and his BFF Thomas. Thomas has a chip in his hand and Peter has his cell phone. Nice.



Monkey Butt. Yes, he's sporting one sock here. Who knows where the other one is. :)





Charlie is babysiting here. She loves him. I love these pajamas here. They were a gift from Lauren. Thanks Lauren. I heart footie pajamas.






A pic of Peter making Titus smile. :) Melts my heart. He doesn't look like his dad at all, does he? :)




















Well, I guess I should probably make a sign that says 1 month and put Titus beside it so I can follow along with his growth...but, alas, I forgot. So, tomorrow we're going to lunch with friends so, I'll take a picture of him a day after his 1 month birthday. :)
Just can't believe it.

Things are looking up around here. Titus is still eating every 2 to 3 hours. If I'm lucky, he'll go four. The only time he's really done that is in the evening time. Unfortunately, not the night. I have to remember he's only 4 weeks old and sleeping through the night will come. Luckily, I haven't felt too terribly exhausted. You'd think I'd try to clean our house or something. Luckily, I always keep the kitchen cleaned and the laundry done. :) Maybe I'll get it done this weekend while Peter is home.

Titus has started smiling and laughing. Of course this happened for the first time on Monday night with Peter. I have to say I was a bit jealous, however, I was lucky to be sitting right beside him when this happened. He laughed twice. It was unreal! Both of us just looked at each other in awe of what had just happened. Since then, he has consistently smiled at Peter and I. It is the most heart melting thing on the planet! I did tear up the first time he did it.

Titus is a strong little boy. The first time I put him on his tummy time mat, he rolled over. I was confused, but in awe. So, I put him back and he did it again!! He hasn't done it again since. But, I still can't believe he did that at 3 weeks!

He's still spitting up quite a bit. He goes through several outfits ag day, resulting in a load of laundry a day for him. :)

He is still making his goat noises. I think it's because he has a bunch of junk in his throat so he's constantly trying to clear it....as best as a newborn knows how. :)

Last Thursday, he weighed a whopping 10 lbs 9 oz. I'm sure he's surpassed 11 pounds now. I carried him in the baby bjorn last night on our walk, and I was hurting when we got home. Hhaa.

He's still rocking the mohawk. His roots are blonde, so who knows. His eyes still have a blue/gray tint to them. We'll see what they'll turn out to be.
He's starting to coo and talk alot! I love it. He does it at 7 in the morning and it's hard not to wake right up! He loves to get up at that time, but somehow I manage to get him back to sleep for about an hour.

He doesn't really like to ride in the car unless we're moving. Otherwise he gets mad. It's kind of funny. If he's awake and I have to stop at a red light or stop sign, crying ensues. I have to tell him to hold on buddy and then he finally falls asleep. Same with his stroller. He'd rather be moving. I can stick the pacifier in his mouth and he's just fine.

He loves his changing table! He'll sit there forever and stare. Speaking of staring, he'll make eye contact with us now without crossing his eyes. His dad calls that "eyecrosserosis." It's funny.
He's still sleeping in his pack and play in our bedroom. I hope to move him to his room at 6 weeks. However, he loves his pack and play because it plays music and vibrates. It's nice and soothing. It will be a change to have to listen to the monitor and get up and go feed him. Lord help me. His rocker is currently in the living room. Luckily it's orange so It semi matches.

Here's some fun pictures of him. His newborn pics were taken by my friend Rachel at Rachel Debell Photography. These are only a few. I'll see more later. Can't wait!!

The rest of the pics are taking with the Iphone. Unfortunatley, it's normally the only thing around when I need to take a pic!!
