Happy Half-Birthday Holden!

Our little man is six months old today!  What a joy it has been to get to know him, and a pleasure to take care of.  Our Holden seems to have always been a part of our family, he was destined to arrive in our welcome arms!  Here are a few things about our fantastic little guy who is learning so much every day.
Holden has discovered his vocal cords.  He loves babbling away, and especially loves when his babbles are returned by a sibling.  Recently his sounds have been:
"aahhhhh aahhhhh"
"daaaaa daaaaa daaaaa"
And then some I can't translate too well.  :)
Holden is a sturdy little sitter. 
He LOVES watching his active family from this new vantage point. 
He has begun laughing recently too.
Nothing like a laughing baby to really get his sibs performing!!
He has some favorite toys...
But his most favorite of all are those wiggly little things at the end of his feet.
Holden is growing so fast, bigger then either of his sibs were at this age. 
I wonder if he will be a match for his daddy's 6'4"?
Such fun to see the similarities between our children, as well as the differences.
Unique in their own ways. 
Holden's fair complexion and RED hair certainly set him apart.
Holden enjoys his food...
Here he is imagining a steak sandwich in his grasp.
He loves anything he is given.  So far that has been...
bananas
applesauce
squash
sweet potatoes
Next we will try some green veggies.  Wish us luck!

Love you Holden.  Thank you for the laughter and love you have brought to our family.
