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.
