First Friend Party

Holden goes to the babysitters with two little girls.  Brianna and Lily.   Brianna turned two a few weeks ago and we were invited to her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese.  Man was it a experience.   I have only been there like twice in my life and both times were 15years or more ago.  But we couldn't miss Bri's party so we packed up Holden and away we went.   

I swear he had fun but it was right in the middle of nap time and he was tired and overwhelmed so he is not smiling in any pictures.

He had a cupcake and pink frosting that went EVERYWHERE!  

The party was a success but too crazy for me.  I think we will refrain from parties at Chuck E Cheese for Holden if we can help it.

The life of Holden

The other night we were playing in the living room when The Voice came on.  Holden grabbed his snack cup, climbed up on his chair and stood and watched for a good 15 minutes.   He is such a joy to watch discover life.

Ryan and I were moving furniture around in Holden's room so I can beging painting.  I pulled out Holden's bouncer and he immediately climbed in.  I turned on the vibrating music and he just giggled and played.   I left it out and have found him sitting in it every now and then the last few days.  

Every morning while I am getting ready for work I shut the doors to all the rooms and turn on a movie or a show like Mickey Mouse Club.  I am so lucky at what a easy baby Holden is.  He will go out in his playroom and just chill and give me time to get ready.  I will here people say how hard it is to get ready with a baby climbing all over them and I just can't relate.  If Holden comes and plays in the bathroom I either put toys on the floor for him to play with or I let him sit in the sink.   He makes my life so happy.

Such a stud

I love playing dress up with Holden.   I had lots of dolls with doll clothes growing up and I changed each dolls outfits more than once a day.   It's pretty much translated into having my own kid,  only know I have a iPhone and do photo shoots daily.

Here is a few of one of my favorite outfits.   On Sunday we go to church and I always try to make him look fly.   I love hearing people comment on how cute he is and how cute he is dressed.   If there is a gift I have its shopping lol.

Here is another cute outfit.  It was one of his Valentines Day outfits and I had planned to take cute happy smiling photos but he was cutting his two top teeth and had a melt down.  Oh well Dr.  Love is still so cute! 

Last one.  This past Sunday Holden wore a belt for the first time!  His shorts are too big so I thought what the heck lets try.   Pretty cute he is! 

Holden 9 Months

Our 9 month photo shoot was a disaster and by the time I tried to stop it to wait for Ryan to come home the sticker was destroyed beyond repair.   Month 10 we will definitely wait for Daddy's help!

So instead I will post a few shots of him at his 9 month check up.  

Holden still only weighs 20lbs.  He somehow didn't gain any weight from 8 to 9 months,  even though he is eating so much better.  We are done with baby food.  I gave up and was wasting money.   We do gerber graduates raviolis,  oranges,  little waffle sticks,  eggs,  avocados,  yogurt and pretty much anything else we are eating he wants.  

Holden really wants to walk.  He is now holding onto things with just fingertips and is getting so brave in going from one place he can hold to another.   

Holden has 5 teeth with more ready to come.  

He still will not say momma.   I try and try and he smiles and laughs when I say it but he won't say it.  

Knows how to work the games on the iPhone.

He loves his puppies and spends half his time torturing them...
