Christmas

A few Christmas morning pics. Holden had so much fun opening presents! He mostly ignored the ones that Santa left unwrapped until he was completely done unwrapping all of the others.

Playing with his new train track.

Yay! Coloring! And mommy doesn't have to watch me every second so I don't color on the walls, Or myself, or my kitchen, or...

His new cowboy hat. He never wants to take it off.

Opening a game.

Making Cookies with Grandma

On December 22nd we went to my mom's to make our annual sugar cookies. The kids love helping and it's a great tradition. We always had fun doing it when we were younger. This year was no exception. We had a lot of fun!

A few more Christmas Pics

Holden crying with the Grinch. I thought if I sat with him he wouldn't be as upset, but obviously that didn't work. He still tells me almost every day that he was crying with the Grinch. Makes me laugh.

And crying with Santa at Harmon's. This one was bad! And Santa is a little lame.

And finally with Santa at Fashion Place Mall. He didn't smile, but at least he isn't crying, right?

Making our Gingerbread house

We decided since it's almost Christmas that we should make our gingerbread house today. Holden had a lot of fun making it and is now having even more fun eating it. He hates getting messy so there wasn't even much to clean up. I think we'll have to make this an annual Christmas tradition.

Christmas Pics

We had Holden's Christmas pictures taken the same time as his birthday pics. He still didn't really smile, but he did get a little more comfortable with his jammies on. Here are a few of my favorites.

We're having a...

Boy!!

His little penis

His legs
His cute profile.

Holden's two year pics.

We had Holden's two year pictures done today. I thought I would share a few. He didn't want to cooperate so he isn't smiling in any of them, but what do you do?

Holden's Stats

Holden had his two year well child check on the 11th and is doing great! He is a growing, healthy little boy. I thought I'd post his stats so you can see how he's doing.

He weighs 33 pounds and is in the 93rd percentile in weight.

He is 35 1/2 inches tall and is in the 60th percentile in height.

And his head is 51 1/2 cm which puts him in the 96th percentile for head circumference.

We always knew he had a big head, but it's still funny to see just how big.

Holden being a Ham

Holden was being a huge ham for the camera. He loves for us to take pictures and after we take video he wants to watch it again and again.

(And please ignore our messy playroom.)

Happy Birthday Holden!!

It's hard to believe it's already been two years since I gave birth to my beautiful little boy. He is such a handful, but we are so thankful to have him in our lives. I just thought I'd post a few pics to show how much he's grown.

Happy Birthday Holden!

Okay, so I went a little picture crazy, sue me!

Poll

Go vote in my poll about the gender of our baby. My ultrasound is scheduled for November 25 so get your vote in before then! It's on the right hand side of the blog.

Playing in the Leaves

We have an insane amount of leaves in our front yard so we let Holden play in them yesterday. He obviously had a blast. Just wanted to share a few pics.

Trunk or Treat

We went to a Trunk or Treat on Saturday that was held by my mommies group (http://www.saltlakecitymommies.com) and West Jordan City. It was crazy, but lots of fun. Here are a few pics of him doing some fun things.

He loves getting his face painted. He sits very still and then tells you what is on his face for the rest of the day. It's pretty cute.

We also had a balloon hat made for him. We figured since he refused to wear his costume he could at least have something fun on. He wouldn't smile for the camera at all, but he still looks cute.

A Few of His Favorite Things

In honor of Holden's upcoming birthday I thought I would post some of his favorite things.

He loves every sort of ball right now. He likes to name which one it is (baseball, basketball, etc.). And he also likes to watch the sports with Daddy.

He is also very into cars & trucks. And right now is especially interested in fire trucks and police cars.

And anyone that knows Holden knows he loves Elmo. He is in heaven when he wears his Elmo slippers. He will be having an Elmo themed Birthday Party this year.




He is obsessed with trains and especially Thomas the Train and his friends right now. He always wants to watch it on tv and to play with trains at other people's houses (we don't have one yet). He loves to wear his Thomas shirt and pj's. The trains are by far his favorite thing right now.

He also loves playing outside. He would play on his bike or wagon forever if we let him. And I vow to never have a sandbox. He loves to get dirty and throw sand in his hair and all over the place. He always wants to play in his friend Landon's sand box when we go to his house.

Happy Anniversary to me!

Seven years ago today I married my best friend, my wonderful husband Tim. We have certainly had our ups and downs, but I'm so glad to be married to such a wonderful man. We are in such a great place in our lives and I'm so happy that I am still with the man that I love. I love you, Tim!
