To the Park We Go

Last weekend, we went to the park for the first time. Lila and Will loved the swings, and I think Addie liked the breeze flowing through her hair. It was so nice just getting out of the house.

Addie and Will can now go from lying down to sitting up. In fact, Will prefers to sit up just about all of the time, even at bedtime. Derek and I kept cracking up last night. We would sneak in the nursery, only to find Will quietly sitting there. When he noticed us, he would try to peer over the rails to see us. Addie has gotten quite clingy. I cannot say that I mind. I love to cuddle. Besides, I know that she is not spoiled from being held all of the time; there has never been time for that. So, I often given into her request to be held. It seems quite reasonable. Lila is doing well. She is gaining more strength and coordination every day. She and Will have really started to notice each other. I love the giggles.

We recently had some professional pics taken. I cannot wait to share!

Lazy Days of Summer

Miss Addie

Guess who!


Lila P

I could make plenty excuses for my lack of posts, but I have simply been enjoying my family. Last weekend, we welcomed a new member. Audrey Claire was born July 11th to proud parents Timathie and Tony. She is absolutely beautiful. Fortunately, my parents and I were able to drive to Georgia to see her. Thanks to Derek for staying back with the kids. I don't think we are quite ready for a cross country road trip!

The Holtlets are doing well. Addie and Will are mobile. Will is quite the explorer. He will crawl all over the main floor, with an occasional look back for a familiar face. Miss Lila has not quite perfected in crawl. In fact, when she gets really excited and wants to move, she flails her arms and legs in the air. The little thing is not going to get very far like that, but she'll get it. All three now sit up, as you can see from the above pics.

Lila has adapted well to her hemlet. Last week, she went to the doctor to have it adjusted for her head growth. We go back in early August. They will take a laser scan then to measure the progress. I think that her head shape already looks better, so I cannot wait to have that confirmed.

I did update the flicker site with new pics. Enjoy!

Happy 4th of July
