Blah Winter Days

Lots of time has been spent indoors and we're all going a little stir crazy with these blah, gray days of winter. The only snow we've had is some flurries. If it has to be so cold and gloomy we wish we could at least get a few flakes out of it to make things interesting (especially since I don't have to worry about commuting to work anymore). But there are signs that spring will soon come...the PGA kicked off this weekend (which is a big deal in our house), we saw bathing suits for sale at the mall, and we are contemplating which branch of the tree in our front yard will support a baby swing for Holden. If we can't have nice weather at least we can dream about it.

To fill up some of our time while we wait for spring, we are going to My Gym (no, not my gym - I haven't been to one of those in years), but My Gym for kids tomorrow with friend Riley to check out the Tiny Tykes class. We're also going to a baby program at the library next week and maybe Baby Pictures, which is a baby friendly movie theater. This is all right up my alley...not too much but something to get us out of the house and around other moms/babies. Oh, and a good reason for me to skip wearing sweats for a day or two.

Holden is chugging right along. He's really using his hands alot and has discovered my hair and earrings, both of which are fascinating to him but not so fun for me. He is drooling like crazy and is starting to put things in his mouth. He's sleeping 10 hours straight at night and has a pretty good morning nap routine. The afternoon is still a crap shoot but I am sooooo happy with the night schedule that I don't even care how the rest of the day goes at this point. Less than 2 weeks until he turns 4 months old...how did that happen?

Enjoying what little sun we've had

The main thing I think of is "how cute Holden is" Love all the pictures. Helps me keep in touch. The 10 hours sleep at night. Wow. Pretty soon teeth. And cousin Colin starting to lose his. Grandma

Maybe during our next playdate Holden can have the speaks with Riley about that 10 hr sleeping at night thing. Seriously!
