Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Phillips!



Time to share gifts with our little family! Titon had lots of fun this year with tearing the paper off...












Opening our stockings the next morning... Titon's very own flashlight to add to his toolbox and chocolate for breakfast!



Celebrating Together















Seventeen Months Old

Happy 17 Months, little man! You are just as much fun as ever, and it has been a joy to celebrate Christmas with you this year! Some of your favorite books right now are "Bunny, My Honey" and Christmas stories about Baby Jesus. You like to point out the pictures of sheep and cows! You are one of God's sweetest gifts to us and we love you.


Titon is always on the go, discovering new friends in the mirror...



... And staying busy reorganizing the kitchen cabinets!



We cannot communicate accurately just how much this kiddo loves to help us sweep, vacuum, mop, and dust... with great attention to detail! My floors have never been so clean. :)







One of Titon's personal favorite discoveries this month has been the joy of condiments, namely ketchup!! He got to eat hot dogs for the first time, and now thinks ketchup should top everything! :) It's also entertaining to watch him eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He prefers to take the sandwich bread apart and eat the inside stuff first. With some encouragement, he'll eat the bread too... after he's had fun poking holes in it with his fingers.






Titon is still a really good sleeper, sleeping 11-12 hours every night. He's down to one afternoon nap now, so mom tries to maximize that time -- usually involving a nap of her own! We sure love you, precious boy!


Our New Favorite Place to Play

Titon has been intrigued with finding new places where he can squeeze under small spaces... crawling under furniture, bookcases, and his crib! With the bed skirt hanging to the floor, this is an especially fun place to hide where only he can fit. :)






Daddy added some extra fun when he let Titon play with his flashlight and turned out the light!
