titus 4 months

side note i wrote this 3 weeks ago!!!! apparently its not like it use to be when i could sit down in one sitting and be done with a couple blogs and now it takes me weeks!!!! sorry!!!

Titus is doing so much right now...it was like he just decided one day to stop just laying there :)
*he rolls from back to tummy all the time....he doesn't want to be on his back any more but the funny thing is he doesn't want to be on his tummy that much either :)
*smiles at everyone....he is defiantly is like his father and loves to be social :)
*he can grab his toys, hair, necklaces you name it he grabs it
*he laughs hard core (its the cutest thing ever!!!)
*he loves to be outside....to calm him down we take him outside if its nice out
*he was sleeping about 6 hours....but he is either growing or teething (lets pray not!!!) but he has been waking up around 1am and 5am
*at his 4 month wellness check he was 27" and almost 18Lb he wears 6-9 month clothes mostly 9 months:)
*he HATES being hot (this summer is going to be interesting i hope he loves our pool!!
*he babbles all the time and squeals and laughs....i love it!!!!
*he loves books
*he loves to sit up and lean against you.....but sometimes that darn huge head is just to heavy and he falls forward :) and he trys to eat his feet
*he hums while trying to go to sleep or he's trying to keep himself awake :) we have to hold him really tight to get him to sleep (most of the time)
*he loves to put his grandparents, friends and cousins in his mouth :)

mothers day

Sorry this is late, I've been alittle busy with my new family and now a new salon :) being an owner is just alittle work :)

Mothers day! WOW!!! It's crazy to think about it now that just last may i was so upset because i wasn't pregnant and wanted to be soooooo bad! It's crazy to think that all those same emotions came back to me this mothers day as i watched my amazing husband calm Titus down, or seeing Jon sing or just rocking him.....Words can not share how many emotions showed through moments like those! I knew God placed this love in my heart that i was to be married and to have children.....its just funny looking back just almost 2 years ago that God chose for Jon and i to be married.......and to think that if i would have gotten married when i felt God needed to bless me (19 years old) i wouldn't be the same person as i was 2 years ago (jon thinks its funny cuz he would have been 16...but lets not talk about that:)) I don't understand why God does what he does but you would think that i would TRUST with every new prayer i have but it's A LOT easier to talk the talk!
I want to thank all you mom's out there that push me to be a better person and mom everyday!!!! Thank you for all your support through the years!

how is cloth diapers going you ask....

well besides being gosh darn cute
We have found that we LOVE our cloth diapers! they are not hard at all and if you don't mind doing laundry then you are set! Titus is 7 weeks old and we have been using cloth for 4 weeks (yes we use them when we go other places too). since i was in the hospital and when he first came home we used disposable.....the cool thing about using both is that we experienced poop explosions with both and i can say now that i have experienced both, cloth holds in the poop way better!....the only time cloth mess's up his cloths is our fault not the diapers fault (i sometimes forget to tuck in the prefold into the cover:)) I did the math and in those 4 weeks we have already paid for all our pre folds (we have 30 prefolds...so we can go about 3 days before we need to wash them)
if you don't know what a pre fold is this is it (its old school...with out pins) we use snappy's instead of pins

these are some of the cute covers we have. my favorite :)
jons favorite (cuz its Velcro instead of snap)
there are 3 different kinds of cloth diapers,

1.) the cheapest is pre fold (what we use) the reason its so cheap is because you can reuse the covers....we usually use at least 1-2 a day instead of 10 a day:)
2.) pocket diaper, next cheapest, not as much work as a pre fold but you do have to wash everything every time.
3.) AIO (all in one) most expensive but the least work....everything is all sewn together so its like a disposable diaper (it does take longer to dry tho)

With all 3 there are so many different brands out there, we are very blessed that the brand we picked works awesome for us!!! ( thirsties brand)
