The Cabin

Justin's Parents have a cabin in Idyllwild. We went up there for a little get-away.We stayed there Sunday evening till Tuesday afternoon. During that time we watched Lord of the Rings 2 and 3, Played Scrabble and Banana Grams, cooked/ ate/cleaned up after 6 meals, attempted to make brownies, had a few discussions, took a Titus photo shoot, did 2 loads of laundry and stood in the falling snow. We had fun. We want to go back soon. It's nice to have a little time away from the city life.

The snow fell on us the few hours before we left. It was gorgeous.

Titus Tasting

Justin and I decided to see if Titus would like a little solid food. I mixed some brown rice cereal with breast milk. He definitely leaned toward the food and opened his mouth a little bit the first few spoonfuls. He then just wanted to touch and explore the substance rather than eat it. He preferred to just Taste it.

Over the next few days we repeated this process, but he still tightened up his lips so I could just barely slip the spoon in with a little food residue on it. I began to pull his chin open and put a spoonful in, which produced a few confused expressions. So, we decided to wait a while to try it again. Maybe in a week or two.

Titus Likes To Skype

On Thanksgiving we were at Justin's parents house. We skyped with Heather and Cambry because they live in Connecticut. Titus really enjoyed skyping with his aunt and uncle. He kept reaching out to touch their faces.

It's cold so we're bringing out T's hats. I love this one. It used to be Justin's.

Titus got to hang out with his great Godmother, Claudia, all Thanksgiving weekend. He loved her so much he would just fall asleep on her a bunch.

Another Thanksgiving highlight was the time that Titus spent with Gramps. Gramps has had Alzheimer's for many years now. His words are limited and sometimes confused. When Titus hangs out with him his face gets bright and joyful. Gramps' agenda then becomes to entertain his great grand boy. He makes faces at Titus and funny noises. He says cute and funny phrases to him. Gramps just loves this boy. This picture shows one of the funny faces he would make.

Justin and I got to got see the Festival of Lights downtown at the Mission Inn. It was fun and cold. Most of Riverside goes to see the lights that night. I think there was like 20,000 peeps there that night. At least that is the rumor. Doesn't my husband have great eyebrows?

Photo Booth

Yeah, sometimes me and T ty have some down time together. We like to look at ourselves on photo booth...
