Titus is now seen by Cardiology every three months. Last check, they just asked how he was doing, had a listen to his heart and then sent us on our way! I am pretty sure T would not have let them do an Echo even if they had tried. We were so grateful to hear the words, "Well, now just treat him like a normal baby. Let him do the normal baby stuff." Praise the Lord! It was both scary and liberating. He is still on aspirin daily and likely will take it indefinitely but we have come far!
As we get closer to his first birthday I am a mixed bag of emotions.... he is crossing into toddler-hood and becoming a little person. He is a very confident dude, has a huge heart for people, loves sharing and laughing, reading books, and throwing things to see what they do. He seems to be rather skilled in the motor development of his hands and I find him concentrating very hard on placing items perfectly or putting things in small places. He often spends his days both defending himself from and trying to keep up with big brother Evan, which will probably never end. He is slowly building a preference for Jake sometimes, which is kind of nice considering T is almost 25 lbs by now and my hips could use the break.
Freestanding!
He has spent the last few weeks freestanding and cruising, so his first steps will be any day now. I joke that it will happen when my dad flies in from Hawaii to visit in October. He witnessed Evans first steps with us while here for Christmas break a couple years ago. We shall see!

We are so excited and feel overwhelmingly blessed to be celebrating his 1st birthday in just one short week. We will definitely update with photos of the occasion.
