It seems like Holden is getting stronger every week. He is also growing like crazy and is already growing out of his 12 month clothes. Hard to see in this picture, but his gut was sticking out of his Superman shirt!!He is becoming much more mobile. Although he is not full on crawling, he gets where he wants to go with a roll, butt scoot crawl combination. He is also very interested in standing and with support can take a couple of steps. He's becoming quite the speeder in his walker. And Mommy has to walk behind him with the oxygen tank to make sure he does not get disconnected. He has learned to get under the dining room table, but has not learned how to NOT hit his head!! Ouch!
I think the little monkey may be getting one of his first year molars. One minute he's in a great mood, the next minute he's beside himself and putting everything in his mouth - including Mommy's fingers! Ouch again!
Holden had a big week of firsts. He went to his first kiddie birthday party. Our friend's daughter, Maddie, was celebrating her 5th birthday and Holden was invited to the party! Although he mostly hung out with Maddie's 2 year old brother, Max, he was fascinated watching all the big kids run around! In this picture with Daddy, Holden is fixated on the balloons on the ceiling. With help, Holden was able to jump with Max on the trampoline. He thought is was funny to stand and bounce and then plop down on his butt - and then do it all over again.Sunday was Holden's first time attending church. It was a day I had looked forward too for a long time now. We decided to sit in the back row. Holden was quiet and well behaved for the first 15 minutes, then he became pretty vocal, squealing and trying to talk over the Priest. So it didn't take long for Mommy to have to take him into the vestibule. Daddy came out and switched placed with me and the little guy fell fast asleep in Daddy's arms. So next week, we'll try again - but this time we'll sit in the baby room!
