Rolling into 2009, literally

Happy New Year! We said good bye to 2008 with a fun night at home with the Bruners' and some yummy fondue. As I was getting everything ready for dinner Holden was hanging out in the bouncy seat watching me and we were chatting about all the fun things he'll do in 2009, like roll over, crawl, walk (hopefully), eat real food, go to the pool, etc. He seemed to think all that stuff sounded pretty cool so he decided to not waste any time and check one off the list right away. And of course the mommy-cam was there to catch it all. Here is Holden on New Year's Day rolling over for the very first time!

Step 1

Thoroughly enjoying Step 2


Ta-Dah!

And for my next trick...

We have lift off!
I can even hold it long enough for the papparazzi to get a zillion shots

And one more trick...

Playing in the jumperoo while drooling. Grammy thinks teeth are in the very near future.

The jumperoo in all its glory, thanks Santa!

And now for the encore...our accomplished thumbsucker

And of course he's mastered being adorable, not that I'm biased or anything

One more for good measure

Isn't it great when they start doing tricks? And that look of pride and fear. LOL He's so adorable.
