From the first week we brought Titus home from the hospital Aaris has always called him "Little Buddy". I end up calling him "Little Rascal" many times throughout the day as his mischievous and ornery self are brought out in his actions. Well, we went to the doctor Tuesday for his 15 month well check (yes, he is 16 months old and a month late). I was sure that Titus had been at least 20 pounds for a couple of months now, but it turns out I was wrong. He weighed about 19.3 lbs which is in the negative 5%. And he was around 30 inches long which is in the 5% range (it's in the negative 5% by some internet sights). So, we have gotten one thing correct in our nicknames for Titus... "Little". Oh, but there is one thing that Titus is in the 50% for, and that would be his head circumference, which is funny because that is the thing Aaron was most concern about when Titus was born. Titus's head at birth was only the size of Aaron's fist and Aaron thought that was not good. It ended up being normal since Titus was only 5 lbs. 9 oz., but now, well, a small head doesn't seem to be the case. And it seems fitting since confidence is one thing Titus does not have a problem with. He really thinks he is not only able, but deserving of the right to do exactly whatever his sister is doing. Wow, I've got my hands full...full of love and blessings.

Sweet Titus! He is perfect just the way he is, who cares about percentiles?!! I love the pictures of him in his sweater, he looks like such a big boy!
I bet Mia will be in the same boat, once she goes in for her 16 month check-up. For some reason, I am not worried though. They are so active that it seems they are just walking and playing off all the weight/fat!!!!
