The 7th Week

Seven weeks and on the go! I started my week off by visiting one of my friends, Payton, and her Mommy (Tish) and little sis (Chloe). Mommy and Tish had a great time chatting while Payton and I enjoyed each others company. Isn't Payton such a cutie? Payton is a month older than I am. I was trying to rough-house her, but she wasn't having any part of that! Chloe is such a beautiful little girl too, if I was only alittle older! Chloe enjoyed cuddling me; she couldn't believe how much I have grown since she saw me at the hospital. We all had a great time - can't wait until our next play date!

Mommy also took me to the airport to see Daddy!! I was beyond excited to finally see where he goes Monday through Friday! Daddy pointed out all the planes on the ramp and told me that he couldn't wait to take me flying. I can't wait to be Daddy's lil' copilot! Afterall, I am a Holt and we all know that the Holts think they are birds! Whether it be hot-air ballooning with my Great Aunt Karen, flying with my Daddy, zip lining with Daddy and Nana, or skydiving with Nana - I am sure I will try to grow wings somehow, somewhere, someday!!

Mommy and Daddy also took me to the Cancer Center where Mommy works. Mommy was so excited to get to see all of her friends there; she has made so many close friends while working there - she loves them dearly! I loved seeing all of the pretty ladies in the office - I cooed and smiled at each of them! Mommy works with so many special people! It was quite a moving experience for me, as I know that Mommy takes care of really sick people. All of her patients are an inspiration to our whole family; they are fighting the most courageous battle with such dignity. I am looking forward to attending my first Relay for Life later this month. And remember if it wasn't for research, we wouldn't have the drugs that we have today to help sick people...something to think about, huh?

My week ended with the latest and greatest - Skype! I got to see my Nana, Papa, Aunt Ammey, Jackson, Owen, Great Uncle Rinaldo, and Nonna all through my parents webcam! I just love Skype; it is literally the best thing since breast milk! Everyone is so excited because they can see me now since they are so far away. No one could believe how big I have gotten since they saw me last! Just wait till they see me in person...Mommy says I am quite the cuddle bug. I do have to admit that I love to be held...quite a bit that is! I am changing more and more with each passing day...my parents are definitely cherishing each moment...
