holden is such a good kid.
he is a happy boy.
and 93% of the time he is super easy going and fun to be around.
the other 7%? well, he can be a wee bit scary.
during those times, we usually just obey his every command an pray things don't take a turn for the worse.
BUT for the majority of the time, he is the sweetest little fellow.
he is a loyal friend to his big brother.
he is always willing to share a bite of his tasty treats with you.
he enjoys giving puppy dog kisses and llama kisses (both are just big, slobbery licks).
he likes to snuggle. especially after a nap.
he doesn't give up easily on things that are tricky for him.
he always wants to help (even when help is the last thing i need from him!).
he laughs hard - right from the gut.
he thinks he is older then two and a half.
he loves to climb.
he is a total fruit monster.
when he sleeps, he has lips that are just as undeniably kissable as his big brother.
he likes to try to say prayers on his own lately, with his eyes squished so tightly shut.
he has a good attitude.
he is forgiving.
he is oh, so easy to love.
one of our favorite things about holden these days is how he reacts when things don't work out quite how he had hoped they would.
he usually responds with a long, drawn out, "ohhh mannnn."
the way he says it is adorable.
i honestly can't believe our baby will be 3 this summer.
i remember the start of his life like it was yesterday.
and, although it wasn't as smooth as we had hoped, it was absolutely worth it!
