It is hard to believe a year has passed! After such a rocky start in life, it is fun to see what a healthy, happy, strong, funny little guy Titus has turned into in the past 365 days! Titus continues to be such a happy joy in our lives. However, with age, some of his easy-going, laid back attitude has been replaced with a short-fused temper every once in awhile! That definitely doesn't come from Dad's side of the family!Despite that, his smile is infections and one of our favorite things in the world and we love what a love he is; always wanting to snuggle and be by his family! At one year of age, Titus' favorites include: black olives, bananas, pop-up books, waving, signing "all done," blueberries, electrical outlets (even though they are covered), pointing, signing for his milk, Crosby (the blanket/stuffed animal he sleeps with), sucking his thumb, cuddling, music, dancing, reading books (especially if they have a beat to them), night lights, our carbon monoxide detector, climbing the stairs, saying "Ah Ah" (which we think means Evie), pancakes and waffles, chasing Evie, clapping, praying, playing peek-a-boo, giving high fives, "if you're happy and you know it," looking at pictures of himself, pretending to talk on the phone, throwing balls, applesauce, Ritz crackers and more! It took him awhile to get on the move (he much preferred snuggling in my lap and WATCHING everyone do everything), now that he has mastered crawling, walking and climbing the stairs, we have nicknamed him Titus the Destroyer! Nothing is safe from his curiosity! We also think he is a bit of a character/prankster! He loves to give us this little smirk that I swear I have seen before (hmmm...maybe from Dad?!?!)! It will be so fun to continue to watch his personality develop!
To help ring in turning one, Evie and I took Titus to an ornament making party, McDonald's for lunch (complete with the playland, his favorite place) and then celebrated the evening with Dad, dinner and cake! He was a fan (wonder where he gets that from?)! We look forward to celebrating with almost 50 friends and family members this weekend for his official birthday party (hockey-themed, of course)!
Titus loves to play with Evie...and has a great "fake cry!"
In the nearly three years our family has been going to Lifetime Fitness Center 5 times a week, never once have we had an incident report with Evie (in fact, I never even knew LTF HAD incident reports)! Poor Mr. Titus has been involved in two in the past four months!! Both times he has been "the victim" but my mother says I am just getting myself used to life with a rough and tumble boy (although, have you seen Evie?!)
