Titus' First Trip

This weekend was the Dayspring Retreat. The weather was wonderful and we had a great time.  Titus also did well in the car. Getting there took a little longer due to a lot of traffic and 40 miles of cones that were set out for a bike race. But we got there, and coming home was much faster--the cones were still out, but less traffic. He slept the whole way back. Of course, here are some pics!


I was excited for some cool weather so he could wear this jacket!

Here he is with Daddy, tired after all the fun he had all day!
It was a fun time. There was lots of singing, hanging out outside (in spite of a ton of mosquitoes), good food (Buzzy's BBQ and pumpkin pie) and David and I got to keep the "nursery" during the Sunday morning worship service. It was a lot of fun having Titus there. We are excited about next year--he will be walking and we will be chasing after him! :)

Pumpkin Patch

Well Titus has decided he isn't going to bed tonight, so I decided to do another one-handed post. I'm actually getting pretty good at typing with one hand now--hence the large amount of posts I have been doing lately.:) Normally he does very well going to bed at night, so I'm not sure what's going on with him tonight. I think he wanted to watch the end of the football game.
We had a great weekend and took Titus out to a pumpkin patch. It was really fun! I also tried a pumpkin recipe from Kari's blog. Then we plopped down in front of the computer and watched some of the conference. It was great.


Well, I think we will try to go to bed again. :)

Shopping Update

We made it through shopping yesterday with no major events. There was a small breakdown in the checkout line at heb. But we got through it. :) Here are some fun pictures. The weather is wonderful here! I couldn't resist getting out this little hoodie and taking a walk.


A friend gave us this swing a while back. So, a couple of days ago we got it out and David set it up. Do you think he likes it?

Scattered, smothered, covered.....

I bet you can guess from the title where Titus went for the first time on Sunday night after Church. The last time I ate there was Christmas morning with David's family. (That is also a big clue if you haven't guessed it yet!)
This morning Titus and I headed out to do some shopping... Hobby Lobby, Target and then HEB. The outing was cut short after about 5 minutes at Hobby Lobby. Titus spits up...everywhere... spit up is actually a huge understatement. He was in the sling--so it is all over the sling, my shirt, my jeans... and a little bit on him. Also on the floor in the store. So, I am laughing, and just leave the cart to go to the car and get us cleaned up. A cashier gives me the last of her paper towels, but they don't really help much. So, I change Titus, change my shirt and put him in his stroller. We ran back in for a couple of minutes and then just decided to call it a day. We are back home now, doing the laundry, except our water is off for some reason. hmmmm... Titus seems to be feeling well--I don't think the little guy is sick, maybe he just wasn't up to a day of shopping. :) We'll try again tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes!
Here's a picture to keep you reading. :) I got out Titus's Christmas PJs, and since he is almost too big for them, I figured I better take a picture.

What's New With Titus

Well, here are even more pictures of Titus. We got to spend the day with Whitney and her niece Ava on Tuesday--it was a good time! Ava is just a few days older than Titus, so they enjoyed playing together. Really Titus was more interested in the ceiling fan than in making friends, but that's OK. Here we are trying to get all 4 of us in a picture and then on a walk. Titus saw a butterfly and a really big dog!

Titus is growing each day and getting more and more interested in his surroundings. In a recent post, I mentioned how he does NOT enjoy shopping... Well, Home Depot doesn't count. He spent about an hour and a half with his Daddy in there last Saturday. He was a happy baby! Here he is in his new "I Love Daddy" PJs with Little Lamb.
Here he is on a walk!

Weighing In....

Titus weighed in at 13 pounds 8 ounces on Monday. He is 24 inches tall. :)
