Birthday Boy

I can not go with out marking my babies second birthday! Yes, my "baby" is now two as of June 20th! Although he has acted two for some time! Holdan's birthday landed on Fathers day, so we invited Austin's family and my mom and dad to come out for dinner and cake. So Dale and Kathy came and Matt and Deneice and their kids came too. It was a fun afternoon and Holdan loved the attention.
So, a little about my little man Holdan. Like I said before, he acts way older than he is much to my dismay. He has grown up way too fast, I have to say that I have treasured every day with him, and have tried my hardest to keep him my baby. Three big brothers have not helped my cause. He just goes, does, and says what the boys do, go where the "boys" go, and say what the "boys" say. Not always so good! He loves his boys and they love him. Holdan can talk and say about anything in sentences, as a matter of fact the other day he was trying to tell his dad that "he wanted to go for a ride on the four wheeler" He stopped in the middle of the sentence and turned to me and says, "whats that word mom?" No joking, this kid doesn't miss anything. He has a ton of personality and can play a joke with the best of us. This is actually one of the favorite ages for Austin and I, we love to just watch and listen to him and marvel at his cuteness, and ability to learn. We say nearly every day why can't they just say like this for little bit longer. He sings the songs in nursery, plays baseball with the boys, ( really quite well), sings Elmo songs, loves to read his books, sleeps in a big boy bed with his big brother Ruxton in his room now, has had big boy underwear on once, and thought it was great, loves to swim and is fearless, loves to work with dad, and loves his five other two year old cousins, he can say all their names and they come up at odd times, he is very partial to his grandpa's he loves them a ton, he loves his grandma's too. I could go on forever I just wanted to put some things that I can remember about him at two. One thing that he hasn't grown out of is his sippy cup, he loves it and has to have each night in bed! He is still my baby sometimes, and if I ask him "Who's my baby?" He will happily raise his hand and say "Me!"

Happy Birthday Holdan! We love you and you have been such a joy to our lives. You are a happy boy and you bring smiles to our faces everyday!
