Super Why at the Library

This month our local library hosted a SUPER fun event. Super Why, from the PBS Kids show "Super Readers" visited. The girls both love this show and highly anticipated the event. They got to see Super Why and listen to a few stories being read by the hostess from PBS.

We also had the excitement of showing up on the local news. While we were waiting for Super Why to arrive (he was a little late) I pulled out some of our library books and began reading to my kiddos. My goal was to keep them occupied while they waited, but this was the perfect film clip while the woman at PBS explained the important of reading to your kids. While I wasn't trying to "get on the news" the girls thought this was a very fun bonus. There was a meet & greet photo op at the end, but as excited as they were they wouldn't get close. So, no great pictures....oh, well. I love taking advantage of free fun events like these!

First Boat Ride

Earlier this summer we took Titus for his first boat ride on the mighty Mississippi. Each summer the kids look forward to riding on Grandpa's boat. We took a ride and then stopped at a sand bar to play. The water was so high there was just a small patch of sand. But that worked perfect. The girls had fun digging and making sand castles. I didn't get any pictures at the sand bar, but hope to get some from Grandma.

Titus-6 Months

I love this outfit. I bought it for Courtney's baby shower and my prego brain forgot to pack the present in the van. So, I had to buy her a new one in route and I saved this outfit for another gift. But, surprise we had boy and he grew like crazy so it ended up fitting him. :)



This is the first month I don't feel like I am shocked by how much different Titus looks. He has finally slowed down a bit and we didn't have to change sizes! Some of his new exciting tricks include: rolling both ways, scooting, sitting up, flirting with the ladies and grabbing (he is a killer if he gets your hair or earrings). His eyes have darkened and I would officially say they are brown. Yeah! I was hoping at least one of our kids would get my eye color. He still doesn't have too much hair but he wouldn't fit in other wise. He is getting a bit more difficult to drag along on his sisters' adventures as he likes to get down and roll around or check things out. But, thankfully he will still nap in his car seat if needed.

The big milestone we haven't taken on yet is solids. With VBS, sick kids, and vacation next week we have decided to wait until after vaca to take that on. So when we get home I will break back out the baby food maker and ice cube trays and get going on that project.

Titus,

Your dad doesn't like the hat in these pics he thinks its too girly. Sorry, but I think you look cute in it. You can take your dad's side when you get older, but for now I get to dress you! I now affectionately refer to you as my "little linebacker." I don't know if you will end up being into sports, but I know I will always be your biggest cheerleader. I love you.
