Every child has one of these and some may be different than others. Some children may have two some may even have three but most have one. Want to know what that something is? Nap time. That sweet sweet respite that gives the caregiver a break and perhaps a nap themselves. If it's just me watching Holden I panic, not knowing how to best spend the two hour block of freedom. As the time nears for Holden to wake panic turns to frenzy until no activity is satisfying waiting on the inevitable call of the recently risen Prince Cyrus. Everything must come to an end but Holden always gives a smiling face after nap time making you wonder why you were ever happy to put him down.
Holden is exploring the depths of his temperament lately. He gets mad at loud noises and if he sees a parent in pain he will attempt to hit us as if to say, "I will give you something to cry about". This is a strange habit and hopefully passing. Mommy watched a baby boy for a few days giving Holden exposure to his coming sibling. Let's just say it was educational.
Two things this kid loves right now, sweeping and being outside. He loves to use his toy "BOON" (broom) inside and run around the outside of the house and touch hoses, rocks, ice chest, bike pumps, grass, flowers, toys, shoes, etc.
Holden explored the law of gravity by exiting his crib at rail height one morning. The poor guy landed pretty hard and wasn't walking for a few hours. A couple of check ups later and he was pronounced a normal boy and to never be given anti-inflammatory after an injury like this (in case it is a break that will interrupt healing) until checked out by an orthopedic doctor.
Holden has one more month in Key West and then it is off to California for two months to see family, friends and his new friend Frankie Ventura (Mommy's college friend's newborn, eta any day now). You can do it Erin!
Grandpa John was in town last week and Holden enjoyed playing with him and being pulled by grandpa in his red wagon. Holden took about ten minutes to warm up to him and was sad to see him go. He hates goodbyes. Here are some pictures of late. Sorry there hasn't been a post lately Mommy and Daddy were in Season 3 of a Game of Thrones marathon and it just ended tonight. WOW!

| This is too weird. Out of fifty some odd books Holden chooses two. The Catcher in the Rye and The Stuffed Griffin, a cookbook. |
