holden is officially a walker.
i have been wanting to announce this for months.
but i wanted to wait until he was reeeally walking, not just capable of walking. you know?
but i may have waited a bit too long..
because now he is so capable that he can walk around our home while kicking a soccer ball.
we may very well have a future professional soccer player in our midst.
or not.
either way, we definitely have a walker.

i would say that for the past 2 months holden has been a partial walker.
he was capable of walking, but preferred to crawl.
and with good reason. he is a wicked fast crawler.
he would surprise us with little spurts of walking 25% of the time.
then it was 50%. 75%.
and now he is at like 98%, and i am thrilled to make the official announcement:
HOLDEN IS WALKING!
it's so cute.
especially because you know he is proud of himself.
and it really is quite an accomplishment, if you think about it.
so congrats holden. we are proud of you too:)
other facts about holden:
he still only has 4 teeth.
other then the typical 'mama' and 'dada' sounds, holden's first word was..
drumroll, please.
...
whazat?
[aka: what's that?]
weird, right?
but it is clearly what he is saying.
he points to things and says 'whazat?', and then looks at you for an answer.
he does lots of baby chatting.
holden loves smoothies and milkshakes.
he loves fruit. especially watermelon and bananas.
we just cut him off from his bottle.
mostly because i'm sick of washing bottles.
and a little bit because i googled when to ditch the bottle, and we are way behind!
he throws food on the floor with the sole purpose of tank getting it.
he is really great at eating with a fork.
he makes messes. CONSTANTLY.
he spends most of church in the hall. ugh.
he will be going to nursery the very last week of the year.
it is exciting, of course. but i also find it super stressful. he's still a BABY.
he is smiley.
he thinks chet is hilarious. still. hopefully always!
he copies chet.
he couldn't care less about TV.
he likes to hit tank. repeatedly. on the head.
he likes back and head scratches.
his hair is ridiculously blonde.
if he didn't look so much like chet, i would question if he is our child.
but it would be pretty crazy that we accidentally switched TWO kids with the SAME mom.
especially when they were born in different countries.
i think he is incredibly attractive.
i think he is left handed. not sure yet.
he screams when he gets excited.
and when he is angry. but a less desirable scream.
he is a lunatic in the bathtub.
i'm shocked he hasn't had a major injury from one of the gazillion times he's ate it.
[knock on wood].
he thinks playing in the fridge is fun.
he is a sucker for a soft blanket.
he sleeps and eats like a champ.
he is a great snuggler. but only when he is in the mood.
he has turned into a perfect beach baby.
he is past the stage of eating sand, but he likes to play and get dirty.
he is a climber.
when we go to the park, the first thing he does is climb as high as he can.
he loves swings.
he likes to wrestle with matt
he likes to play with electronics. but only when they are on.
he gets angry if i hand him my phone in locked mode.
he gets so excited when matt comes home from work. it is precious.
he is busy, and silly, and handsome, and tender, and very lovable.
we love holden emmett.
