Our Blog

We've decided that Totsites just isn't cutting it anymore. So we're going to join the blogging revolution. This way we can update everyone on Tim and I as well as Holden. The only drawback is that you don't get email updates. So you'll just have to keep checking back!

Sick Little Boy

Holden has been sick for what feels like forever! He started throwing up last Saturday and hasn't completely stopped since. He seemed to be feeling better the last day or two, but today we had another "incident". It's no fun for anyone involved! I'm so ready for my little guy to start feeling better.

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!

Smarty Pants Holden

I just realize every day how smart Holden is! He now can point to his belly, eyes, ears, nose, hair, teeth and feet. And most of the time can point to them on you as well. We've only worked on a few of those. It just amazes me how he picks stuff up and I have no idea!!

Croup

Holden has croup. It has been a horrible few days. He still has a fever and isn't eating much. Hopefully it starts getting better soon. I feel bad for the little guy. He is obviously miserable. He mostly just sits on my lap and watches tv all day. And he almost never watches tv for more than two minutes on a normal day.
