4 months

I took Ti in for his 4 month Doctors appointment and here are the results:

Weight: 15 lbs 3 1/2 oz.
Height: 25 1/2 inches
Growth & Development: All on track
Shots: Didn't even cry!!! He made a sad face for a second but then looked at me grabbed onto my hand and was fine. Such a BIG boy. Of course, he would not smile at the Dr. after the shots, but he wasn't freaking out, so all is good.

Other notes: I have a drama king for a son. When the Dr. checked his mouth and throat with that stick thing they use...Ti was the funniest thing ever. I mean I know they all probably cry or gag a little...my son though?!? Oh no! the gagging began even before the stick reached his mouth, and the faces continued through, even after the stick was removed. He was sticking out his tongue, like "yuck, ugh, yuck how dare you put that nasty thing in MY mouth" for a while after we were done. I need to get his faces on video for future reference. :)

Truthfully, I don't know what we did to get such a FABULOUS son. He is entertaining, a cuddler, loving, happy, a good sleeper, and really a very content little man. (Makes me wonder though what is coming with the next child when we have one...)

My Biggy Boy!

Titan is getting so big way too quick ( I am sure I will be saying that over and over again over the next 20 years!) but it's true! He now sits in his bumbo and talks to me while I am working. He is definitely a momma's boy. As long as he can see me and hear me...he is totally content (most of the time). We really did luck out with him! Quoting his Aunt, "He is the golden child". Of course he is still little. :)

The Bachelor & Hair Loss

So since I have married into the Parker/Ross family...I have begun watching the Bachelor. This is one of the first seasons though that I've actually seen almost every episode. Every Monday night we are next door watching The Bachelor (yes, Broc watches it with us too).

I have to admit that my most favorite part of watching it, is Broc's commentary. He analyzes every conversation, facial experssion, etc. for all those who are watching. The entertaining part is...he's almost always right.

Like last week, Broc said Jill was going home. "She shouldn't have poured her heart out, big mistake!" I said "no way, she's going to be it, she's staying."

Who was right?!? Broc!!!

But now the question remains...will Jason go back to Deana? Or will he choose Melissa (Or as George called her last night Ursula) or Molly? I tried just asking Broc, so I could just bypass watching (like I would) but he says he needs to see Jason & Deana talk before he can give his final decision. So I guess we wait...

On a totally different topic this is a question for all you mommies out there:

What is the deal with hair loss after having your baby?!? Like SERIOUSLY!!! I swear I am going bald. Every morning and night CHUNKS of hair are falling out of my head!!! CHUNKS!!!

So my questions are:

1) When does it stop and why did it not start until the last week or so? (Titan is almost 4 months old for heaven's sake!)

2) I did just recently dye my hair a much darker color?!? Could it be it's not really falling out any more than usual but I am just noticing it more because it's darker and doesn't blend?!?

Any way, had to vent about that! I'd rather like to keep my hair!

Some of my favorite things (outside of Broc & Titan)...

1 - The Kura Door Spa in Salt Lake. Whether it's for a facial, a pedicure, a japanse bath, or a massage...I LOVE this place! From the moment you walk in until the moment you leave it is pure heaven and serenity. I also love the fact that it's up in the avenues in an out of the way place, a piece of Heaven you may not know even existed. I can only go every few months, but if I could I would go weekly!

2- Emerson Drive. They are just a happy, feel good, clean group! Their CD (well all their CD's) are ones I can put on and know I am going to love EVERY song that plays. They were also fabulous in concert.

3- Lie To Me. Broc and I have started watching this show (at my request) and I am HOOKED! It is so intriquing and I love the characters. Very interesting how they study human behavior and facial experessions. This kind of behavior study has ALWAYS interested me. In fact their job would probably be up there in my "top five" of potential jobs?!?

Baby and the Baa....

So forget weekly blogging...monthly seems good! :)

I guess our lives just really aren't that exciting...

Right now my life consists of Broc, Baby, Work and watching TV shows online.

For example this morning has consisted of sleeping until 9:00(Titan is a fabulous sleeper most nights-over 7 hours straight last night), Feeding and playing with Titan while watching the Bachelor online (it's like watching a car wreck you just can't stop watching), and now while Ty naps checking my email while eating sugar cookie dough and a slimfast for breakfast!

For those of you who know me or ever lived with me...you won't find that breakfast a suprise or shocking at all!

I was thinking last night though as Broc was playing with Titan that there are some memories I need to document before I forget them. For starters, the songs Broc sings to Titan:

1) The Baby and the Ba (tune taken from The Beauty and the Beast)
2) Another man can bathe another man in the good ol' land of oz (or something like that...) sung during bath time.
3) Everybody clap your hands it's time for the naky dance do do do do do do do do...(We can thank Aunt Tara for this one) sung during diaper changing time.
4) One taken from Unkie Conner, "push it out, shove it out, WAAAAY out." Also during diaper time.

...and there are many others I will have to write down as I hear them. Every day it seems Broc has a new one.

We can't believe the "little guy" is going to be 3 months old next week! I keep telling him not to grow but he does it when we are not looking!!!

Overall he is a very HAPPY and alert and healthy baby boy! He fusses a little right before nap time or if his tummy is hurting, but other than that, spends his time entertaining everyone with his vast array of faces and personalities. He hands down makes some of the funniest faces I have EVER seen a baby make (and no it's not just because I'm him his mother and find him so stinkin cute). These faces are out of this world funny. He is the master pouter and has other faces that can only be explained as "Titan".

He has also yet to develop a loud cry, it's a more polite cry (for the most part), like, "excuse me, when you have a second, could you please remove me from this situation..."

We heard such a cry last night as we were driving home from Aaron's B-day dinner at Paradise Bakery in Sandy. We were joking that what he was really saying in his baby language was:

"Ummm...there's been a mistake...I didn't sign up for this...can someone please get different parents, not these idiots....I mean seriously guys, I at least signed up for pants...If you only knew you would take me far away from here...PUUUHHHLLLLEEEAAASE....somebody? anybody?"

Now the story behind the pants:

As Broc had the day off from school yesterday for MLK day and The Lost premier is quickly approaching Broc and I spend the afternoon in a Lost marathon. Camped out in comfy clothes, watching one episode after another. We were also up late (very late) Sunday night getting episodes in, trying to get caught up before the 5th season starts.

So Sunday night Titan did not get put in PJ's and woke up the next morning in the onsie he had worn the day before...then he stayed in that onsie all day (the day went by WAY too quickly)...then it came time for me to get ready to head to the B-day dinner so I handed him off to Broc, who being a helpful daddy got the diaper bag all ready and even put Titan in his car seat and rocked him to sleep in it. Well we arrived at the restaurant and I lifted up the canopy cover...and there was Ty still in the same onsie with no pants or socks on!

Broc's excuse is he couldn't see pants anywhere so he gave up...Broc has no idea where to find anything baby related in our house apparently. My excuse is that by the time I was ready he was already covered up in his car seat so his outfit was totally forgotten.

All well! That's a day in the life of a new set of parents I guess. I promise that other than that, we really do take care of him!!! :)
