the weather here is.. well.. stupid.
you would think that if you were planning a birthday party on june 26th you could count on half-decent weather, right?
nope.
not here.
trust me, i know.
we threw a party for holden on june 26th.
it was at a park. outside.
and it was downright freezing. and obnoxiously windy. and i wanted to cry!
luckily, holden's cousins and friends have thick canadian blood and the best little attitudes.
despite the risk of hypothermia, they all had a blast.
and holden, most importantly, had a blast too.
i literally did not take one picture at the party.
i don't know how that happened!
but we ended up letting holden have another try at blowing out his candles inside the next day (away from the cold and wind, where we could actually get a candle lit!) and those pictures are pretty darn cute.
i think holden is such a handsome boy.
i love staring at his perfect little face, holding his squishy hand, and scratching his tiny back.
he. is. adorable.
he is smart, too.
he talks constantly these days. i swear he learns a dozen new words every day.
and he has a good memory.
he adores his big brother. but he also knows just how to drive chet crazy!
he is a total daddy's boy.
he likes to throw things - balls, rocks, food.
he likes to play with lego, animals, cars, and his new play kitchen.
he likes to help. with anything.
he loves his blankey.
he can be stubborn and sure knows how to throw a mean tantrum.
he is an excellent sleeper and eater.
he loooves fruit.
he is busy, and silly, and brave.
he is independent.
he has taught me a whole lot about being a mom.
and he is one of my most favorite boys in the whole wide world!
happy birthday holden!
you're TWO!
