Almost 22 Pounds....













I just had my 9-month check-up.....yes, I said that correctly, 9 months!! Where the heck is time going?!? I weighed in at 21 lbs 9 oz!! I am becoming such a BIG boy!! I am now taking steps around the coffee table quite a bit. I am also having spurts where I stand on my own!! My parents figured that I would be walking by Christmas, but that is probably not happening. Mommy doesn't mind, as she doesn't want me to grow up too quickly!! I am now eating pretty much anything and everything (except carrots) - Dr.Stapleton just approved for my parents to move on to table food - this should be an experience!!! I tried cornbread for the first time; it was quite yummy - I am looking forward to broadening my horizons!! I especially love cheerios, if you can't tell from the one picture above where I have one smack on my forehead!!!

I have officially experienced my first snow! It looked great from afar and even close up; I was a fan of that white stuff UNTIL I got it in my pants!! Then, I was ready to head in. Mommy and Daddy bundled me into my snowsuit - I was very snug and warm! The problem that my parents had was finding shoes to take me out in the snow with; all of my shoes are too small!!! My foot is HUGE - I now wear a 6 wide!!!! They managed to squeeze my foot into some shoes - just call me "crinkle toes"!!

My parents keep telling me that some man named Santa is coming into town in a couple of days!! Needless to say, we are all very excited about Christmas. Several weeks ago my parents and I went to the tree farm to cut our Christmas tree down! It was such a perfect day to do it....let me set the scene....snow on the ground, flurries in the air, Mommy had a hot cup of apple cider, Santa made an appearance at the tree farm, Daddy had no problems cutting the tree down and I was riding in the backpack!!! It was so perfect!! We decorated the tree and then my parents immediately pushed the couch close to the tree to block it in! I guess this is to block me from climbing into the tree? Or maybe pulling down all the precious ornaments? Or maybe from eating the tree? You pick!! Enjoy the new pictures!! We hope you all have an extra special Christmas!!! It will be the most special of all here at the Holt House...Merry Christmas!!! xoxoxo

  1. Hey Crinkle Toes...glad you enjoyed your first snowfall and tree cutting experience! Wish I could have been there. Roxy asked me to pass along a message...don't eat the tree or ornaments...or dumbcane for that matter. Buene feste from Auntie B!
