And you can probably tell that Holdy liked the goat the best.
He laughed so hard when it ate from his hand!!

Red River Zoo

Andy had a great idea yesterday!! We were going to be in the area on Saturday for a grad party so why not bring Holden to the Zoo. Now keep in mind its not the biggest and most spectacular zoo in the world but I think all of us had a pretty great time. We saw lots of animal and even got to interact with a few of them. It was a good day!!
The above picture is the Llahma that none of us were to sure about..he was kinda crabby!!

Holden and daddy feeding the biggest cow Ive ever seen. It had a crazy tounge. Holden was speaking cow to it...he said MOO.

Loved the Turtles

Here are some Lizzards

And some more Turtles

NO LIE!!!

Caution..This may tug at your heart strings a bit!!!

Holden has 3 things hung up on the walls in his room:

1. A picture of a mama giraffe kissing a baby giraffe.

2. His Jesus Loves Holden banner from baptism.

3. The Guardian Angel picture that hung in my room when I was little.

When we are done changing the diaper he usually sits on his changing table for a few minutes to talk to me. While he is sitting there I ask him where his giraffes are and he points to the picture and says "baby". Then I ask him if Jesus Loves Holden and he points to his banner and nods his head. Last but certainly now least I ask him where his angel is and he points to the angel picture. At this point both him and I are thinking he is like the smartest baby in the world. After he points to his angel I always say to him that Grandpa Greg is his Guardian Angel now and will always watch over him and protect him.

So the other night he grabbed a picture frame off of the table. It is a picture of the family waiting for Uncle Nick to come home from Iraq. In the picture is Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Jenn, Andy & Me. Holden was pointing to everyone in the picture and attempting to say the names. Right from his mouth there was Daddy...Mama...Gaaaa(Grandma) & Jaaa(Jenn). He kept pointing to Grandpa and I would ask him if that was Grandpa...he would nod his head and keep pointing to everyone else again. What came out of his mouth next sent so many emotions through me all at once. He once again pointed to Grandpa and I asked him again "Holden, is that Grandpa?" And no lie he just looked at me, smiled and said...Angel!!

Wow, what an amazing moment that I will definitely remember for the rest of my life!!

No Egg No Wheat & No Nuts

These are the cookies that mama made for me. The first pan turned out completely flat and the ones after that were perfect!!

This is an actual homeade cookie that I can eat!!

Mama learned that when substituting ingredients that she
really must do the math correct!! The rest of the batch
turned out fantastic after more flour was added.
These cookies are the Nestle Tollhouse recipe with egg replacer and soy/rice flour!!
Oh Yeah..I can say cookie!!

Furniture

I would much rather be sitting on the furniture like a
big boy than playing on the floor.

I can climb on everything in the house now including the kitchen table!!

A person can see so much from up that high!!

Mama And Me

There are not a lot of pics of Mama and

Me on this blog so here ya go!!

Boots

Daddy got some new work boots and I just had to try them out for myself...AWESOME!! Oh I can say boots too!!

New Ride

The 30th Anniversary Cozy Coupe!!
This car was first created the same year that Daddy & Mama were born.
I look absolutely fab in this thing!!!

Not So Happy

Between getting teeth and NEVER getting what I want...Im not always so happy!!!

Mama Is So Proud

I have learned how to use the Swifter!! Mama better enjoy it now cause soon
i'll learn that cleaning is actually work and now just fun.

I really don't like when it runs out of battery and she takes it away from me.

I gotta make sure that I get all the way
underneath the couch so she doesn't fire me!!

From Tray To Plate

I have graduated from the tray on my highchair to an actual plate.
Mama and Daddy finally decided that its ok if im able to pick all
of my food up at the same time and throw it at the wall or on the floor
or really just wherever it happens to land!!!

Finally

Finally there is no snow on the ground and no snow in the forecast!! So now its time to get outside and play my little heart out. In this pic Daddy is showing me how to do concrete..im trying to follow him but it might take me some time to figure that out!! Be patient Daddy!!

Playing trucks with Daddy.

Is that my shadow?? Does that mean the sun is shining too??

That is a BIG ball!! I can say that word also!!

Minnesota ROCKS!!

Mama picked out my first big boy hat and she thought this one
was very fitting for the season!!
