Above, one of Holt's favorite activities, Brush Teeth ("Bu Tee!")
Playing on the overturned couch...And, super cuteness himself asleep in his crib one morning during nap time:
The backyard, as of April:
The potting bench Chris built:
My little family spent today in our backyard: spreading compost, pulling weeds, potting flowers, playing in the hose, and chasing the dog. I loved every minute of it, including nap time when I could sing my heart out to my own personal radio station on Pandora on my iPhone (yes, I'm sure the neighbors were annoyed) all while preparing my new backyard garden for all the wonderful plants I'm soon to put in the ground. It is an awesome time of year. And it is even more awesome that we were all 3 home doing it together. Holton is a champ. He loves being outside ("side" as he says), loves to play with water in bowls, enjoyed tug of war with Finley over the squeaking duck, and chasing the big red balls. He used his plastic Diego shovel to play in the dirt and got completely filthy. He can say dog ("ga"), ball, juice, pasta ("pata"), bathtime ("baaatime"), nightnight, Sache (he whispers it!), Max, shoe, block, fish, flower, and plenty more I can't recall at the moment. He is climbing everything and runs everywhere he goes. He will bring me books all day long and just plop down in my lap to read together. And Chris, bless his heart, is the world's best garden partner. Thanks to all his hard work last year, we have this awesome raised bed lining the fence in the backyard, which we added more compost to today. Above are the photos of what it looks like now, so that when its filled with growing plants in August, I can look back and say "wow, what a nice change!"
Grateful is my word of the day.
