Holden’s first steps
This will be short because I have to run upstairs to finish painting the built in cabinet I have been working on for the past few weeks.
Holden took his first steps about a week ago. We were waiting to pick Colin up at school and someone remarked “He is getting big, is he walking yet?” I said almost but not yet. I put him down right after that and he took 3 steps on his own to get to the crayon table. It was exciting. Of course he hasn’t done much since then.
We have been doing lots in Seattle recently. Went to the zoo, the aquarium and today the Children’s museum. That place is wonderful and we will definitely be going back soon. There is a little slide there and Holden, who is a super climber, got up and had no problem sliding down, even did it on his stomach, face forward. Meanwhile Colin won’t even sit and do it, he prefers to go feet first on his stomach. It is very interesting to have two kids - they are so different. Colin was talking quite a bit by the time he was one, but slow on the physical side. Holden is the opposite - a total climber and although he talks a lot, it is pretty hard to make out most of the words just yet.
Some other upcoming things: Holden is almost one - birthday party is Sunday. Chuck is heading down to Phoenix for work and to visit with the AZ Fullers. Spring is just around the corner and then we can start work on fixing the patio out back…ugh, that should be some serious physical labor.
Anyway, just wanted to get a brief post up since it has been awhile. I will take some pictures and do a summary of my cabinet once it is finished.
Alright - back soon….Go Obama!
Dear Jess:
I cannot believe the difference in the living room. I remember when you were putting together the shelves and Colin had to hold the screws. I showed Ed what you have accomplished and he was very impressed with the outcome. You must have gotten all of your building skills from me. Ha! Ha!
Love, Nana and Eddied
