Excited for First Easter!

If you haven't seen it over at my blog, Holden's Easter basket is finished and ready for the Easter bunny to come fill it with goodies!

I can't wait to take him home to Wichita next weekend. My mom and I are planning on taking him to Easter mass Sunday. It will be his first time in church, so I am hoping that he will be good! I imagine he will be; he loves being in public with lots of people to look at. Not to mention, he loves being held 24-7... which will make kneeling an issue, but I always hated that part anyway! :P

Not much in the way of milestones lately. We are still fervently encouraging him to crawl. He is up on his hands and knees 99% of the time when on the ground, and has even taken a few lurches forward, but he can't quite get moving. To be honest, I am not all too concerned that he hasn't started crawling yet- I have read about some babies either skipping crawling all together, or not doing it until 10 months. I look at it like this: he's only this little once and before too long, I won't be able to hold him! When he does decide to do it, he will have plenty of room (and carpet) to do it on thanks to this new wonderful house!

He knows how to wave, but hasn't done it lately. When he does, though, it is just about the cutest thing ever! He also gives "high fives", which basically consist of him putting his hand into mine when I say "high five, Holdie!"... his little face just lights up! I can't believe he is almost 9 months!

I am biased, of course, but he is just so observant and smart. When we are in stores and people talk to him, he just looks at them so intently, like he's trying to figure them out. He doesn't give up his smiles very easily! He can also give hugs and kisses. :) His version of kisses, of course, are mouth-wide-open, slobber on the face type kisses!

Tomorrow Alex's four day begins, so we will be going to Target to buy him an Easter outfit! Grandma Kim wants him to look cute for church, so she said she would spot us for it! :) Can't wait!

Need to Update!

I have a few videos that I have been procrastinating on posting. They are too cute, so please be patient. They're actually on my husbands PC waiting to be uploaded by me. (Ha, ha)

In the meantime, check out Holden's homemade Easter basket!
