Happy Birthday Titus!!

It is so crazy to think that This little Man is now ONE!

I'm kind of Bias but He is the best little guy anyone could ever ask for. He is always happy. He is SO cute, gets along with everyone, Makes me smile even when he is yelling at me. I can't even explain how much i love this little guy. He has already taught me so much in just one year.

Just a few things about this little Man!

*He started out at 5 lbs .8 oz. 19 inches (thank goodness cause mom couldn't have handled a bigger baby)

*He has ALWAYS been a great eater. 

*He has started to sleep through the night again! knock on wood. (he would sleep through the night at 3 months then we started going places and he started sleeping with us again.)

*He LOVES Cheese & Juice & Crackers... 

* He can sign More, Please, Milk & Up. It makes life so much easier knowing what he wants.

* He Has been walking since he was 8.5 months!(after he started rolling over at 4 months he hasn't stopped moving. We joke that he is like the Squirrel from the movie: Over the Hedge. He goes a millions miles a minute) 

*He helps me clean up his toys. Now that he has figured out how to put things in containers he is always throwing things away. He knows where the Dirty Diapers go and will put them in their bag. He also know about the Recycling bin and tries to Recycle his Plugs Bottles & Balls(i spent 2 hours looking for them one day)

*He Love to play with balls books and Cars... He really is a boy..

* He is almost in 12 month clothes. He is just so tiny. It is quite amusing to watch him walk sometimes.

*He likes the vacuum.. 

*He Knows where his eyes, ear, mouth, head, hands & feet are.

*He knows what a car (vroom), Book (bou), Ball (baw) Dog (daw or woof) Sheep (ba) Lion/tiger/bear/... (rawr) are... 

* He Loves sweets... cookies, cake anything mom and dad are eating.

*He can drink out of any kind of sippy cup and is learning how to drink out of a regular cup. 

* He loves bath time.

*He is always happy

*He gives hugs & kisses (not open mouth anymore) to his favorite people.

*He knows how to be "soft" 

*He likes to laugh with other people.

Titus' 1st Birthday Party!

To start us off...Here is Titus relaxin while i start making the cupcakes... All he needed was his bottle, his plug and a pillow and he was was set...

Only A baby can get away with Red sweat pants..

   

Plug in one hand... bottle in the other...

 When the bottle didn't keep him busy he wanted an OREO!

 He went to town and LOVED them...

 He made such a mess...

 But was so cute..

 His Mickey mouse cupcakes! we were so proud of them... each cup cake also has an OREO in the middle.

 His Mickey cake!... it turned out great!

 What a Stud...

 He wasn't too sure at first about the cake...

 Then he realized.. Its cake & FROSTING

 Getting cleaned up was just as fun as getting into the cake...

 I just love that face..

Then it was onto his presents... we sat him on the table so everyone could watch him open them. 

The kids loved guessing what he was going to get... 

He LOVED the ball from the Daws!

 I loved opening the present with the Kids right in front of him.. He would would look at them after he opened something and Smile and giggle.

Love that little face.

After everyone left we had an after Party of making Titus' first snow man. 

 The boys and the snowman..

He also found our stash of pop...

 

Thanks To Everyone who came. Titus LOVED seeing you. I can't believe that he is already one year old. 

It's been The best year so far..  I couldn't ask for sweeter, cuter little guy!

Holy Cow....

 I have just realized that Titus is Growing up. I was putting him in Bed the other night and almost started crying cause he's not a baby anymore... He is turning into a little boy. He is now going to sleep easier, eats everything we give him. He LOVES Orange juice. He climbs on anything and everything. He gives Hugs and kisses. His Smile is to DIE for. He still likes to cuddle (thank goodness). Titus loves to help around the house, he will "help" pick up his toys, and the will close the Dishwasher & the Fridge. I cant believe he will be 1 on the 29th.

 Loving "Big People Food"

 This Isn't what i looks like. Titus is Coming over to make Henry fell better. 

(I Babysit him every other Morning.)

 

 Titus wanting to go play in the snow (what little snow we did get)

Look at those Cheeks.

 11 months.

 this was a quick picture. We can't get Him to lay down for very long.

 Love that face. He is Sharing his water bottle.

He has learned how to share but it doesn't last long... And He loves to Play with Henry. 

They Play so well.. most of the time.

As for Mike & I... Mike is starting into his 2nd to last "Class semester" meaning he only has to sit in a class room this semester and the Fall Semester. the other 2 semesters ( summer 2012 & Spring 2013) are internships. He has class early in the morning and is done at the latest at 2 which is kind of nice. It would be better if he didn't have class at 7 or 8 in the morning.

I have started back to work again after the Christmas Break. I have also started watching Henry every other morning for about an hour while his mom & dad go to school & work. I love it cause it gives Titus someone to play with and gives me a break. They Play so well together i just have to worry about keeping them in one room. I just got a new calling as the RS teacher. I Love it (so far) its nice to finally have something that i have to study. it helps me study everyday and helps me understand things better. I am also the assistant ward organist. 

so Far with my new goals i have done a pretty good job. our house is clean every night so i can wake up to a nice clean house. I'm working on not wasting time on the computer. (i mean pinterest, facebook & blogs only get updated every couple of mins. it gets kind of old.) 

This weekend we are having Titus' First Birthday party! I am so excited and kind of nervous (I have never hosted a Birthday Party/ dinner Party before). I'll post all about it...
