Officially a Sitter-Upper & Other News
Well, Holden is officially a sitter-upper! He can stay seated on his own for, well, I guess for as long as he wants. He really doesn't fall over any more. He can even go from crawling to sitting up. Here's how he does it: he crawls around until he decides it's time to sit, then he stands up by straightening both legs while keeping his hands on the ground (think: downward facing dog), then he plops down on his bottom, and then sits and plays until something else tickles his fancy. We're so proud! (And I think we're ready for shopping carts and high chairs. Well, as soon as I find one of those nifty covers.)
Since Monday, his first day of school, he's been real crawling, not just army crawling. Hand, knee, hand, knee. He's got it! When he really wants to get somewhere fast though, he drops to his belly and high-tails it to his destination.
Holden had his first real food yesterday (8/16). He ate mashed bananas instead of his oatmeal cereal. He seemed to enjoy them, however he was a little confused by the texture at first. He had a little more this morning. Off we go into the world of food!
After 3 days of minimal napping at daycare, I decided to bring a white noise cd in to see if that would help Holden get some shut eye in his new environment. I was thrilled to hear that he slept for a good 1 hour and 20 minute nap today. Ashley, one of his awesome childcare providers, said he slept so soundly that had bed marks on his face when he woke up. We were all so proud of his big accomplishment!

This is the stand-up-to-sit-down move.
Here he is crawling down the hallway today (8/17).
This is the spot he picked to stop and enjoy. He really likes that he can explore other places besides his room now. Shortly after his little stay, he crawled into the kitchen, hit his head on something, and started screaming at the top of his lungs. I took him outside and Houston entertained us by doing hot laps around the yard. It was an instant distraction, and Holden soon started laughing at his silly puppy!

Good job Holden! Loving the new skills.
The top picture of Waylon is so sweet--he looks like a model for PBK. I cant believe he is already crawling. This little guy just keeps getting more and more advanced--I'm so proud!!!!
