9 months of Titus

Titus is officially nine months. How quickly this time has gone...so nine quick facts for you....

1. you are 20 lbs 9 oz and have the most adorable rolls, tummy, thighs, buns, and checks. mommy loves to kiss them, squeeze them, and just overall eat you up. mommy's favorite spot to kiss you is right on the neck between all your lovely squishiness. you also love the kiss and react with the most precious giggles.

2. you are 29 inches long

3. you make the most precious noises. mommy's favorite is the inhaling gasp as you laugh. you also have followed in Ezekiel's foot steps in the way of self soothing as you fall to sleep- you make the same groaning "uuuuuhhhh" sound. it must be the way that it vibrates your chest that you find soothing.

4. you are a smacker...you always smack your lips and mouth really LOUD after eating or drinking. it is ADORABLE

5. you have amazing brothers that love you to pieces. you especially enjoy your nap times with Eli and will even talk and play with him. i have caught you keeping him up by standing at the end of your crib smiling, talking and laughing with and at him.

6. you put EVERYTHING into your mouth. you have almost eaten quite a few legos and actually enjoyed a few leaves here and there. mommy is constantly pulling things out of your mouth that you have rummaged off the ground. you have also enjoyed putting sand in your mouth while at the beach- yummy.

7. you no longer enjoy baby food, but you only want to eat what everyone else is having. you really like breads, bananas, and grapes. you have no problem letting us know when you are hungry- you just grunt really loud and won't stop until the food is in your possession.

8. you are a warm water kid. you do enjoy the water, but it must be warm or you want nothing to do with it. while swimming you love to splash and lay on you back.

9. i can't name a certain toy or thing that you love to play with except your brothers. whether they are sitting on you, talking with you or just playing around them, you want to be with them and in the mix. you do love to bang on toys with your hands or with another toy...perhaps the drums are in your future.

Titus you are such a delightful little boy. Everywhere you go people tell us how sweet you are and what a good baby you are. You are truly happy. Constantly smiling, giggling, and enjoying life. You have brought so much love and happiness to our family. We can't wait for the next 90 years (at least) of life that we get to share with you.

Slow & Steady Turtle

It is official. Titus is crawling EVERYWHERE!!! He is a little slow, but he can get where he wants to go.

Get Up, Stand Up

Titus is pulling himself up now...
all the jumping in the ducky has paid off. He has strong legs. He also is able to pull himself up in the crib to chew on the rails, look inside the toy box, and stand next to mommy so she has to pick him up.

Family Fun

We spent some time hanging out at Grandpa and Grandma Case's house.

We hit a pinata...
notice Eli?

Daddy finally got him to emerge from behind the tree.

We gathered candy.

We jumped through the sprinklers.

We wore shades.

Splish, Splash

We have made it back to the pool.

Ezekiel is swimming fabulously. He is completely water safe. He jumps off the wall, swims down to get things off the bottom, and is an overall fish.

Eli still thinks he can swim and he is getting really close. He hold his breath for a very long time and does quite well.

Titus also enjoys the water, but it must be warm. He didn't enjoy the cooler days so much and did a lot of whining. On the warm days, however, he LOVED the water.

Getting Pulled Around

Titus' new way of moving from here to there...

Thanks brothers.

10 Years for Daddy & Mommy

The family celebrated Daddy and Mommy's anniversary together. For fun, we ate dinner at the place where they had their first date...Little Pickle, in Costa Mesa, California.

Daddy's picture is still on the wall from his baseball days at OCC.

The whole family enjoyed the turkey sandwich...it is what we always get.

Eli's New Place to Be

the dryer
he even climbed in to do his business the other day...silly boy.

Beach Days Begin

Our weekly beach days have begun. The boys love the day.

Ezekiel spends the entire day at the waters edge either splashing or digging. His new love is to stand on the boogie board.

Eli likes to spend his time digging in the dry sand and is not very fond of the chilly water. He loves to use truck, shovels, and buckets.

Titus is a big fan of sand much to mommy's sadness. He loves to pick it up, let it run through his fingers, sit in it, and eat it- yummy!

Daddy's Day

The boys (and mommy) gave Daddy a sign for Father's day...

the boys helped screw the boards together and paint it.

In order to show Daddy how much we love him, we went as a family to breakfast at Hot Off the Grill- he LOVES to have breakfast there.

We also had a yearly tradition of heading to BJs Brewery with the Cianci's.

We finally came home for a movie and popcorn night. What a great Daddy the boys have!
