Titus 1 month and newborn pictures

Yes we are calling him Titus, we know it is his middle name, and yes Samuel is more traditional, but hey it he really hates it he can start going by Samuel when he has an opinion about that kind of stuff. We have also recently started calling him Ty some times as nick name. 

I can't hardly believe this baby boy is a month old already, maybe it is because we have been so busy with holiday preparations and activities or just because time flies, but he is already getting so big. He is pretty good little baby, he puts up with all the older siblings attentions and mauling without too much complaint, sleeps pretty well at night, but leaves everyone he comes in contact with with some souvenir of his latest meal. 

  

James and Madie love taking turns holding him, James is always singing Itsty Bitsy Spider, and You Are My Sunshine to him, and Madie is forever trying to steal his binky only to hold it high in the air like a trophy and shout 'YEAH!' She will then usually bring it back eventually and try to put it in his eye, ear, and sometimes actually make it into his mouth. 

He is already chunking up and rounding out so he must be getting something down when he isn't spitting up. James is our official burp cloth runner and comes to our rescue with one of the many many burp cloths we have around the house. 

 In the past month we were also luck enough to have a visit from Aaron's dad and step-mom. We got to visit for an entire weekend and baby boy was loving all the cuddling. He loves being swaddles, and held, so visitors are probably his favorite thing. 

Aside from all his adoring visitors we were able to get newborn pictures taken when he was 2 weeks old. She took not only his pictures but did some great family pictures as well. Here are some of my favorites aside from the ones I used in the birth announcement. 

 I love the pictures of James and Titus and of all my boys!

 She was also able to get some really great pictures of the older two as well.
