Words to his heart

Tim and I decided to make a list of all the words that Holden knows the other day and we were amazed when the total reached 25! I am so proud of my smart little boy. He can also identify 8 body parts!
We have also discovered the way to Holden's heart is reading. If you want to win him over pull him on your lap with a book. He loves reading!! He will bring you books to read over and over again. Mommy and Daddy always get sick of it way before Holden does. It is easily his favorite pastime.

Swimming

Holden has had so much fun this Easter!! We went to an egg hunt yesterday with a local mommies group and he had a blast finding all the eggs and putting them in his basket. He didn't want mommy or daddy to hold his basket either. He had to do it himself!
Then we went to Grandpa Archibald's for another egg hunt in the backyard. He had a lot of fun running around with his cousins finding all the eggs and one big easter bunny too!!
Then today he got to find all the eggs that mommy and daddy hid for him. He liked the ones that looked like balls the best. He also got a sand and water table to play with. We need to put it together, but I'm sure he is going to love it!!

Sick on Vacation

Holden was diagnosed with an ear and an eye infection the day before we left on vacation. Poor little guy! He was a trooper, though. He didn't mind the plane ride at all and had lots of fun at Sea World and the Zoo. He LOVED the elephants!!!
He also gave mommy his eye infection and it turns out it's pink eye. Lucky me!
