H2: Parachutes and Ladders

A soon to be immunized Holden

Well, Mommy has switched doctors in the hopes that the midwife that works with the new doctor will be the one to deliver Holden's sibling. The appointment went swimmingly and left Mommy with more confidence than she had a few weeks ago. The midwife is sympathetic to our desires and is excited about delivery. Mommy is often seen reading an Ina May Gaskin book and found an interesting story in one of her books. Ina May reportedly had a woman drink vodka in order to delay a premature birth! Crazy stuff indeed but the lady boasts unrivaled healthy vaginal birth rates.
Back to the subject of the blog. Although I often wonder how I will merge the newborn into the blog without detracting from either child. Holden can now open upper level kitchen drawers resulting in a reararnging of utensils based on degrees of sharpness. He likes to play peek-a-boo, walk and find blemishes, bo-bos and moles on adult bodies. Daddy had some hand blisters which Holden saw during a diaper change and declared, "Uh-oh!". Daddy informed him it was a, "Bow-bow". So in a picture below Holden is pointing to Daddy's ear mole and saying "Bow-bow!".

Holden cries a little easier lately when things don't go his way. This lets us know he is aging properly, entering the toddler phase. We deviated from his rigid sleep schedule to meet some local friends at Blue Heaven restaurant and the effects were easily seen the next day. It's like you don't want to be seen as the weird family but you know the consequences for deviation....

Mommy found a toy sink for Holden. But the plumbing was clogged which meant Holden had to fix it.

Hide and seek..Solo addition

Bow-bow!

Holden got to see some military airborne and free-fall operations being conducted by Daddy's work. He mostly enjoyed the airplane which he would chase to the end of the horizon if it weren't for a doting parent.
