Pumpkin Carving

So we went over to Blayde and Leah Jungles' house last Friday night for some pumpkin carving fun. Here is a picture of the pumpkins, including our little pumpkin. (Sorry it's not a great one, but it's the best one we could find. We forgot the camera that night, I know...horrible parents. Also notice Ninja Daddy in the background.)


Our pumpkin is the one on the far right, it's a toothless and earless wolf howling. It's toothless and earless thanks to my awesome precision carving skills. (Let's just all be glad I wasn't the one who performed the circumsion.)

Anyways, we had a great night and Titus was all tuckered out. Here he is at home snuggling with his duckie.

Study.

I finally went back to Bible study today. My workbook was not completed, but Julie, our small group leader, said it was perfectly fine. I wish I had fully completed this lesson, the discussion time was so informative. Great stuff.

I took Titus with me this morning and he was really well behaved. He slept and cooed mostly. I never really noticed all the noises he makes. To me he was so loud, but no one minded, or really noticed. The office staff was happy to see Titus as well. Thank you Terry for saying Titus looks like both of us! I enjoyed getting back to a semblance of normalcy. Mom and Dad being here has been great! But I know that they will be going home. I am still adjusting to life with a baby. It takes so much more time to do the simplest tasks. Just takes time to adjust.

First Sunday at Church...

aaaand he slept the whole time. Perfect for us. Lots of people got to meet our son and the breakdown was as follows: 90% = he's adorable, 10% = he looks just like Tiffany. Not that I mind, I mean she's beautiful and I know Titus is too. But maybe if his eyes were open I might have gotten some votes. His eyes are starting to change into a color and it seems they are a nice dark blue, which is not brown; so score one for Daddy!






Anyway, here is Titus in his present from Nana and Ashley, a Moses Basket.

Growing....

Titus entered this world at 7lbs. Then he dropped a bit, which is perfectly normal. At his 2 week old check up he weighed 7 lbs 6 ounces. So he is gaining, and we can tell. He is filling out his clothing better, and his diaper. The car seat is getting a bit heavier. And his face is starting to show more personality.

Activity

People said that if your child is active in the womb then he is just as active when he comes out. They were right. He is a squiggle worm. The doctor noticed how strong Titus was and warned us not to leave him on the change table alone, even for a second. He could roll off. We don't leave him on there, but it was a good reminder. Titus tries to lift his head and is pretty successful, but doesn't have the strength to keep it there yet. Soon he will be walking. :) Titus likes to be swaddled to sleep. We call him an "escape artist" because he will wiggle his little arm out, no matter how well we wrap him!
