Here is the super-cute birthday boy playing on his tractor just after waking up from a nap.
And the moment you've ALL been waiting for...the cake. If you don't know much about Titus when it comes to food--and why wouldn't you know much about the eating habits of a child who you likely have never met--feed him fruit and you'll be a friend for life. Feed him spoiled, uncooked meat and he will probably get sick. In this big piece of chocolate cake with icing and all, he immediately found the embedded strawberries and ate all of them. There was no spoiled, uncooked meat in the cake. It wasn't until his father, my brother, Paul, put the cake to Titus' lips that Titus realized how much better manufactured sweets are than the natural stuff. Love was felt.
We visited with Titus and his parents at the hospital and left wanting more. And we've been truly blessed to spend so much time with Titus in his first year. He is a happy guy who is constantly on the move, exploring and chatting away. Titus has a reputation of being a toy and food stealer from his friends because he thinks what they have is always more awesome than the last thing he just took from them. And then when you tell him that stealing wasn't nice (or Matthew yells at him) he cries which is really sweet because it shows that he just wants to be right in the action! And then two minutes later he's often back to the same belligerent behavior. When he's not committing petty theft, he's got some of the cutest facial expressions you've ever seen, including his mean mug and more recently his monkey face "ooo ooo." He loves to be with people and when Matthew and Titus play it's such joy to watch: they follow each other, talk to each other, shake heads at one another, and just this week played hide and seek. The in-game strategy was breathtaking. Titus has brought great joy to our whole family. I can't wait to continue watching him grow up!
