It has been quite a while since I blogged, but I can tell you that Holden is doing fantastic. He is having a great summer making new friends and experiencing new things all the time. It is almost as if both of us made a decision that we spent enough time on the side lines...and we were ready to get into the game! 
We joined the Mom's Club of Grayson and have fun attending various activities each week. Whether we go with the group to the park, for ice cream or our recent outing to the John Deer shop, Holden is happy to be out and about and loves socializing with anybody and everybody!
He is far from shy. At our pool opening party, Holden got up in front of everyone to sing karaoke...quite the sight to see our little guy singing "You give love a bad name!" He also loves getting dressed up. Some days he's Woody, Buzz or a pirate. Some days he's all three at once and he treats us to a show!
We are finally feeling more settled in our new house and neighborhood. Holden and I have been going to the pool often and are slowly meeting many of our neighbors. It is awesome to have so many families with young kids here. Holden loves playing outside and has become quite the driver of his John Deer tractor!
Holden had his first swim lessons this summer. While I can't yet call him a "swimmer," I can say that he loves the water and did pick up alot from his lessons. He's not quite ready to keep his face under the water for too long, but he's willing to try and is pretty good at the doggy paddle!
I love that Monkey is so open to new experiences, adventures and friends. It has been a summer of transition...a summer of good health...a summer of fun...but most importantly, a summer of playing in "the game!"
