Well, Thad won't let me cut Titus's hair, and I'm tired of hearing what a cute baby I have...and how old is SHE? Or how SHE has such great eyes, she'll never need mascara, or how beautiful HER hair is! So, since Thad won't let me cut his hair, I decided I may as well dress him to match! This only lasted until Thad got home from work. Then he took the flower out of his hair and changed him into overalls. But seriously...doesn't T make a cute girl! By the way....this is one of Raquelle's current dresses that he is almost big enough to fit into. Here is my broken toe. I tripped over an end table when I jumped up to get Titus when he was crying at bed time last night. This picture really doesn't do it justice. The purple is actually much brighter then that, and the blue goes almost half way up my foot

Today, while I was sitting on the couch nursing Titus, Raquelle decided to start running at a full sprint (with some jumping mixed in there) around the living room and screeching at the top of her lungs. Of course, the screeching startled Titus, who would then bite and turn his head to see what was going on. After scolding her several times and being ignored, I finally said "Raquelle, go to your room!" She stopped, looked at me and said "Poopy!" So I asked her, "Are you poopy?" She smiled really big, squatted, grunted, and pooped right there in front of me! Then she stood back up, said "Poopy!" again, and took off to her room to try to climb the changing table. Had I not been in the middle of nursing, this would have been a wonderful opportunity to sit her on the potty. If she was an only child, I would totally start taking her potty, but with 2 under 1 1/2 I just don't have the time. Maybe I'll start when she is 2.

I'll just say that he did NOT get this hair from my side of the family!!! I think Titus is the reason hair brushes were invented! It takes a lot of water and combing to get it to go down, and then it will still curl at the ends and stick out every which way. Like this... Of course...Raquelle had to get in a picture too. T's hair is long enough that he could have a hair cut...but it just seems wrong to cut his hair when he is still so young. what if I cut it and then it falls out before he is 6 months old and he is bald?

Sorry it's been so long since I have posted. The kids have been keeping me busy and we've been having one disaster after another here. The refrigerator died. We had to transfer all the food to coolers while a temporary replacement was brought over. The temporary one didn't fit in the spot in the kitchen, so they left it in the living room! It has been there for 2 weeks now! The old fridge can't be fixed so we will be getting a new one but who knows when. Then...the ceiling in the kitchen started leaking in several places. Our landlord has "temporarily" fixed the leak, but still needs to do some more work to make the fix permanent, and now the dry wall on the cealing is soft and cracked and looks like it is pealing. Then...today I went to put Titus on his play mat, and there was the hugest hobo spider I have ever seen! Seriously, I'm not exaggerating when I say it was as big around as a tennis ball (there was one sitting next to it). If I wasn...

Thad and I were down in Eugene this weekend. I dropped him and the kids off at Jeb's house (with their 6 month old twins) and Melissa and I took off to a beauty break. We had tons of fun leaving the guys with 3 babies and a toddler! They had the type of scale that you weigh babies on at the dr office (I'm assuming to keep track of their twins growth), so we weighed Titus on it. Are you ready for this? He was 17 lbs 4 oz!!! He is also now 27 inches tall! He was taller then both of the twins, their boy out weighed Titus by a lb or so. Along with having a big baby, comes having a very hungry baby! Titus has started taking 8 oz at a time, and then crying an hour later. I can hear his tummy growling 45 min after I feed him. I know it's not my milk supply, because I can pump 12 to 16 oz at a time! So, we decided to see what he thought of baby cereal since he just isn't staying full on his milk. The first time I fed him, he just smiled at me and it all fell out...
