Peek-a-Boo

Holden loves to play peek-a-boo. He just looks down, wherever he is, and waits for Mommy to say, "Where's Holden?" Then pops his head up. So cute. Really, I think Mommy loves to play just as much as Holden does.

"Where's Holden?"





"There he is!"





Peek-a-Boo :)





he's so much fun...♥

A Jeep Ride

(A very excited) Daddy took Holden for his first ride in the Wrangler the other day. He's been wanting to ever since it got warm outside, but Mommy wasn't sure it was such a good idea. But the other day, Mommy wasn't home. (haha) And Daddy needed to run over to Grandma and Grandpa Himes', and all he had was the Wrangler. So, twist his arm, he decided it was time for the first ride.

And despite the bumpy, noisy, windy ride, it still took only minutes for "the boy" to fall asleep :)

"If bitterness wants to get into the act, I offer it a cookie or a gumdrop." - James Broughton

Holden loves loves his little teething cookie things. And he makes the biggest mess every time Mommy gives him one. He's gotta smear it all over just to prove how much he loves it, I guess!


Hi, Stinker♥




Lovin' it.




Hiding that mess behind his hands, I think....

Mommy's Helper

Holden loves to "help" Mommy. No matter what I'm doing. The other day it was wrapping a present for Cousin Isaac's birthday party.
