July

Here are some detail on July happenings at the Holden House.

Baby Girl (36 weeks) - Baby Girl is still hanging on there which has given us time to get things ready.  We've never been pregnant this long so this is all new territory to us!  Mom had a baby shower at work that helped us round all all the pink/girly items we need!
Baby continues to measure right on track and while we are glad she is staying put a while longer, the whole family is definitely ready to meet our newest member!

Parker (2 years 8 months) - Parker continues to show more independence and adoration for his brother.  He loves to do whatever Carter does and thinks everything Carter does is amazing.  He also has lots of opinions which he enjoys sharing accompanied by phrases like "I don't like that."

Parker LOVES anything water related

Swimming au Natural at a friend's house
Dinner out with dad - Parker's pick
He was so proud of himself for putting Blue Bear in the cart

Carter (4 years, 2 months) - Carter has been incredibly sweet and affectionate towards his sister recently.  He gives her daily hugs/kisses and likes to tell everyone that he has a baby sister coming soon.  He picked up a crazy Southern accent for a few weeks were all his long A's were really loooong A's - thaaaaat, baaaath, etc.

Brothers  - the boys play together most of the time and prefer to do whatever the other one is doing.  They make for some pretty cute pictures and crazy adventures.
