Cracks me Up!

Tonight when I put Hollin down for bed we read her, her favorite book, Ten Little Fish! She loves that book. I finished the book and placed her in her crib. She layed her little head down on her tiny pillow and she wanted to book to "read." She crossed one leg over her knee to form a square kind-of. The she started "reading" her book and would then turn the page. It is hilarious seeing her in bed with her book mumbling the words and doing such a nice job holding her book with her legs. Hilarious! I will have to take a picture the next time.

Also, today I was singing the ABCs- that is how she lets me do her hair. She sang along with me- clear as can be! NO JOKE!! I would stop for a second and she would try to continue. I would then continue and she would keep on singing with me. It was a hoot. I loved it!

She is growing and getting to be a kid rather than a baby- boo- hoo!

Really and Truly I am going to do this thing!





Hollin is now almost 20 months old and if you look at previous posts I have tried to do this thing several times. However, this hasn't been successful, or should I say I haven't been good at this. SO... I am going to make an attempt again to get this thing going.

Our winter was AWFUL. We have all been sick, so sick. Hollin had pink eye, croup, RSV and a killer ear infection, that took 4 doses of different antibiotics to get rid of! Hilary had a sinus infection, ear infection, bronchitis and several colds. Ted actually had the flu! He was sick forever! Due to the fact that we were all so sick we weren't able to do much of anything. We did get up to the mountains a couple of times but overall, we spent time sick as a dog at home.

In March, we all went to Rancho Mirage, California for a golf vacation. It was fantastic! It was sunny and therefore, the sun killed all our germs. Thank GOD! Hollin loved riding in the golf cart, golfing, SWIMMING and so much outdoor stuff. She threw fits when we would not take her swimming. It was adorable believe it or not.

April so far has been good. We really haven't done too much! Ted had PRK (lasik) eye surgery today after the first Lasik was a disaster! (Another great moment from the winter.) Hollin loves daycare and is truly enjoying the warmer weather. She loves to play outside and now she can. We got some gently used outdoor toys and new toys for her so she really can go outside and play. It is nice and the germs are finally gone- I hope!

Some of Hollin's adorable moments and things that she does are:
Hugs and kisses everyone!
Baby signs- more, thank you, please, eat, all done, and so many more. The wonderful thing about the baby signs is she speaks and signs so we are truly understanding her!
She gets things out of the pantry and eats them
Dances when the Ellen show comes on
Loves the Price is Right
Says "mo" for Elmo.

AND SOOOO Much more! What can I say... she is adorable! Not that I am biased or anything! :)
