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.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Last week Jeremy's company, Reliable, had a night at the ballpark. So, we loaded up our kids and went to "watch" a Cavemen game. I use the term "watch" very lightly. (Like I'm not sure I saw a single hit or pitch)

I don't even know who won because at the 7th inning we "caved" and went home. It was one of the hottest days of the summer and we were sitting out in the sun so it wasn't quite as fun as when we went last year. But, the girls got to eat nachos... a special treat for this frugal family and Grace did catch a glimpse of the "funny men" We only saw them like twice. I think because of the heat they were probably taking off their costumes and only coming out when necessary.

Note Titus' displeasure with the fact that I took the State Farm fan he was eating away so we could see his cute Cavemen shirt Gramy found him at a yard sale. So, I gave the fan back and he was much happier to have his picture taken. Oh, well.
