My TyTy

My little man turned 6 months old yesterday. I love him...I really, really do! 

A little about Titus at 6 months-

He is a chunk (although I don't know how big a chunk until Friday when I take him in).  He really doesn't look as big as he does in this picture.  I thought it was funny and I think it will be tease-worthy in the future!

 He has two teeth and lots of swollen spots that could pop at any moment.

He sleeps all night most nights.

He goes by lots of nicknames.  Some common ones include: TyTy, Little bubbas, buddy, TyTy Mc TyTy (Only Spencer calls him that), Cutie pie, Stinker, the chubs....

He smiles and giggles very easily now.

He is a pro in the walker.

 He rolls all over and pushes up pretty far but is still no where near crawling (which I am ok with).

He makes lots of baby noises but I am convinced  he says "Mama".  He might just like the M sound but since I am his interpreter I think he just loves his Mama!

He loves sucking on his hands and is pretty good at getting his thumb in his mouth.

 He has all the kids wrapped around his fingers.  All he has to do is squawk and someone gets him a toy or comes and talks to him.

I haven't given him any real food yet.  I keep saying maybe at Christmas...maybe.  I am just not in a hurry for the messy baby food stage. ( Dinner time is work enough as is.)

 After having three projectile spitter-uppers, I have been pleasantly surprised by Titus.  He spits up a normal baby amount.  I had no idea what I was missing.

He loves his Daddy.  I can't get him to fall asleep unless  he is in his crib or nursing (and even that doesn't work like it used to).  Tyler has the touch with him.  He can get him to sleep in his arms when we are out and in a pinch.  It might sound funny but I really believe that Titus and Tyler have a special bond.  Don't get me wrong- Titus and I are kindred spirits and there is no denying my love for this munchkin but even when I pregnant with him he seemed to just love his Dad.  I am not joking or exaggerating, when I was pregnant he acted different when Tyler was around.  And since he has been born he has had a special love for his Dad.  It's sweet and I look forward to watching it develop and witnessing their relationship over the years.

I say this after each baby, but I can not imagine life with out Titus.  We needed him and even though his first six months have been tumultuous (broken bone, lots of crying in the early days, 2 moves, a new job, a new house etc), they have been wonderful.  He is a blessing and I am so thankful for him.  I love you TyTy!
