18 months +

Holden's last checkup was fairly uneventful. Aside from being overly tired and cranky, receiving shots and getting over his cold that is. Holden weighed in at a healthy 26 lbs, about the 60th percentile, and 34.5 inches tall which is about the 93rd percentile. Almost all 4 of his molars are in now, with the 4th starting to poke its way thru. His favorite word to say is baby, and he says a lot of me me me's as well. Still throwing, hitting and kicking a ball every chance he gets, he is now more controlled in his golf swing, and most often hits you in the face if he throws a ball to you. I am often warning strangers to watch out if he throws a ball to them, of course they usually think I am exaggerating, and underestimate his throwing arm. I never know when to say sorry or I told you so! =)
Wall Street has started construction! Of course this means Dave isn't at home with me all the time now, both Holden and I miss him a lot. We didn't get to go out to the beach house this year for our anniversary due to the storms, but I am glad we didn't go early and get stuck!
Our apartment is now decorated, I couldn't help getting into the spirit even tho we don't have a tree. I just hang garland over the windows and decorate with lights and ornaments. Most of the ornaments are from my childhood and those I have collected over the years so I just love to see them hanging there. And now Christmas is looming just around the corner, and there is so much to do!
Still, it's been great these past couple of months, Holden is blooming and it is so neat to watch.
He has become so cuddly, giving hugs and loves and just wants to be on a lap. Terrible two's are right around the corner, and already creeping up at times... of course our pediatrician says early terrible two tantrums are just a sign of intelligence. I could do without that one tho! I look forward to when reasoning and or reverse psychology works on him!
