First Day of Daycare 2014

We are so lucky to be going back to Kim's this year.  I have enjoyed being home with both the kids these last six months, and to be honest - I was dreading the moment I had to go back to work.  Luckily - knowing we have an amazing provider for both our little turkeys made the decision much easier.  Adlee was more than excited to see her friends and show off her baby brother to Kim.  Here is to another great year!

Holden's Six Month Photos

Six Months

A few weeks late and no sticker as they are at the new house - I'm sure he will forgive me one day
This little guy is quite the charmer. He smiles for days and loves to eat. We just started cereal with him and he can't get enough! He LOVES his sister and she is our go to when he needs some calming. He is starting to sit up and really beginning to giggle at all the funny things his daddy does for him. He drools all the time and will put everything in his mouth to chew on, but still no teeth. He is a very relaxed little guy and we love him to the moon and back. Happy 6 months H.T.! 

Five Months

Is it possible?  Has this little guy been in our lives for 5 months already?  Oh - how we love him so.  He is an average size baby, but if you compare him to Adlee at this age he seems huge to us!  He LOVES baths - I will even throw him in the tub just to calm him down.  He talks all the time and will smile back at anybody.  He is at the age where he recognizes people and will put on quite a show if you leave the room and he doesn't want you too.  He is sleeping a lot still and when he is overtired - watch out!  He can wail like a siren!  He loves his jumper and playing with his blankies and anything that makes noise.  He is still going to PT but makes improvements everyday!  We are so proud of all his hard work.  He is tracking well, making eye contact and grabbing like a champ.  We are really working on rolling right now - can't wait to see him on the move.  He is eating about 3-4 ounces at a time and takes amazing naps all while sleeping through the night!  I know it makes me happy - the whole family really ;)  We can't imagine life without him - he is the perfect addition to our family!

 

Who is Who?

Looking at Holden I keep thinking of how much he looks like Adlee when she was a baby.  So - I decided to compare some pictures.  Although I can definitely see a difference now..... I can see a resemblance.  Can you?

Happy 4 Years!

Happy Anniversary to us!  Four years, two kids, and not one boring moment. 

Holden - 4 Months

Time needs to stand still for a little bit.  If I thought Adlee grew up fast - it is even  more so with Holden.  To say this little guy is perfect would be an understatement.  He is so easy, fun-loving, and best of all (for mommy) he sleeps!  He weighs in at over 13 pounds (40th percentile), and was in the 20th percentile for height (you don't have a chance buddy).  We think he is huge compared to his sister but is pretty average.  He eats about 4-5 oz. at a time and loves to snuggle while doing so :)  Holden loves taking baths with his sister, hearing his daddy's silly voices, and smiles at just about anything.  He is reaching all of his developmental milestones a little late so he has been seeing a physical therapist.  They have given us so many ideas and suggestions to keep encouraging his little baby skills.  We are working on tracking, rolling, and reaching/grabbing right now.  Adlee loves to help us with these activities and is a big helper!  We have never imagined we could love anybody more than his sister and then he comes along and makes our hearts even bigger and fills them even more.  He is so relaxed and easy-going.  The perfect addition to our family.  We love you big guy.
