Genetics again

Timothy's getting so big. He smiles a lot. Poor kid, it's amazing he's not deaf, living with his brother and sister! He'll smile at Leanna now(it took a while!) I've seen him watching Justin, but there just aren't enough moments where Justin will sit still around him. He likes to pat Timothy's head or back. When he says Timothy's name it comes out sounding like "Ti-ti." Justin's always unintentionally hurting Timothy. Like right now he's trying to tickle him. 18 months olds don't have very gentle hands, especially when they're trying to tickle your face! He lays on top of Timothy to hug him. He especially likes to take the pacifier out of Timothy's mouth or sometimes to try to put it back in. His aim isn't that great yet either. : ) At least he doesn't try to hurt him on purpose.
Timothy is sleeping right now with his arms above his head, a popular sleeping position in our family. Both his brother and sister did it, and his father and grandfather! It's so strange that something like that could be passed down-who would have thought! Justin and Leanna both looked a lot like my Dad and sister Laura when they were first born. I don't see that at all with Timothy. But he does look a little like a Cabbage Patch Kid the way Leanna did. I think it's really exciting to see what traits come out in each child. I love to see what kind of people they're becoming.
