"Ive Made a Huge Mistake"

Ive got a new slogan for cigarette package warning labels - "As addictive as pacifiers".  Well, Holden took to sucking on a pacifier like a duck to water. The writhing and noises that happen after an accidental drop however are most disturbing. He does not go into these antics having lost the real thing but with the pacifier its a big deal. Of course he cant pick it up, so one of us have to be there. Well, as a recent president said, "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." What he was trying to say is that we are only going so far with this anti-pacify device. We always encourage a thumb but sometimes that just wont do. We may see the pacifier go away as quickly as it has come but stay tuned for more on that. Oh and one more thing, anyone saying "I told you so"...well - "They misunderestimated me" (W).

Healthy

Here comes a surprise!

Not staged! He actually requested it.

Gran Gran left yesterday and Laila and I are back to foraging for food. We still try to exercise everyday and take Holden out as much as possible. It is shaping up to be a crazy New Year's party. I am sure we will be awake at midnight but it wont be for the same reason as our readers.

Reading with Daddy

Holden is balding on the front of his head, don't laugh! Most likely a combination of baby hair falling out and rubbing his head when rooting. You can see it in some of the pictures but if you want to remember what a specimen he can be, then look back a couple of posts. He is going to kill me in 15 years when he reads this. Well, that's all for 2011. Take care and God bless.
