Sorry the pictures got out of order, not sure how to fix that! |
Since Holland has started walking my life has changed. I heard rumors about it, but did not fully understand it until now. I have posted a few pictures to show a day in the life of Holland. It usually starts out with a diaper change, changing her diaper is similar to wrestling a steer (something I have seen at a rodeo). Getting her to lay still for a minute is a miracle. She has so much to see, do, touch, taste, drop, climb, push, dump out, crumble, ect... She is really starting to like food, (mostly homemade chichen noodle soup, toast, yogurt, fruit snacks, water, and cheese) we are still working on the healthy stuff.
We went to Boise this weekend with some of the Evans's (thanks to Rosemarie and Thurman), it was such a nice get away. It was really nice to get out of happy valley (not entirely sure how provo got that name). Holland loved her cousins, Adam's family and our family had adjoining rooms, Holland spent more time in their room than in ours. She followed Ailey everywhere, and kept giving her hugs. Holland rarely gives anyone hugs. In Boise, we swam (Chad and the kids), and ate at cheesecake factory. Chad and I got a kick at watching Holland suck the cheese off of the Macaroni, and then spit the Macaroni out. Poor clean up crew at Cheesecake factory, we are sorry. I also tried feeding her some strawberries, she hated them. She now licks everything before she will stick it in her mouth to make sure that it is not a strawberry. She still loves her sippy cup though, she is well hydrated.
When we got home from Boise, we got to enjoy Evan (and as grandma O would say, his friend that is a girl/Hannah). We love our family. A few weeks ago we also got to enjoy Grandmary, Grandpa Tom, Evan, Hanna, and Devin. It is so nice to be close(r). Also, Congrats to Alisa and Nick and Hanna and Devin, two wedding in March, hopefully Grandmary will be sane in April!
This last couple of months has been intense for Chad. With school and seminary he can barely catch his breath. I wish that there was more that I could do to help him out. He is handling it like a pro. Tomorrow we are headed to Salt Lake City for an interview. We will keep you posted on the outcome.
Although our lifes our busy with school, seminary, weddings, house planning, picking up messes we are grateful for each other and for our little girl. She is so much fun, she brings us many laughs, and is our little miss danger baby.
