at nine months...

precious titus

:: weighs in at only 17.5 pounds (9th percentile) and is 28 inches long (15th percentile). definitely a little guy!

:: crawls all over the house. and stands holding on to things. and walks holding onto things. i am sure that first steps and all out walking are not far behind.

:: loves playing with and next to his brothers. he is certainly ready to join their world and be one of the big kids.

:: has one little tooth in the bottom of his mouth.

:: waves and says "hi" to just about anyone within earshot. he has the sweetest little voice!

:: loves taking a bath with his brothers more than anything else we do all day. he wiggles and cheers as soon as he hears the water running.

:: loves to drum and sing and dance. at this point, i am not surprised. he is a sivyer boy. is there anything else in life worth doing?

:: is the clingiest, most dramatic of our children so far, i believe. but honestly, i don't mind one bit. i am happy to hold him close when he wants me!

:: gives the biggest open-mouthed baby kisses. in my (nearly!) four years of being a mother, i can honestly say that those first baby kisses are absolutely my favorite thing. i melt every time!

:: is incredibly sweet. several times a day, he will just lay his little head on me and cuddle. what a blessed mama i am to have such an easy-going, loving little third son!
