Holland's 1st Birthday

Holland turned one yesterday and we had his birthday party today. Every morning we watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (which he loves) while we eat breakfast, so I wanted to do a baby mickey mouse birthday theme.







We had a good time with family eating and opening presents. I was so thankful to everyone that could come. Holland loved having all the people he loves spending time with all in the same room. He was a very happy boy.










We sang Happy Birthday to him and let him dig in to his cupcake. He was hesitant for the first few bites and then went crazy. It was so funny and cute!







He got lots of presents and enjoyed playing with all of them.







I can't believe he is already one! It went by so fast and he is such a big boy now. He is super smiley and makes us laugh every day. I am so glad he is a part of our family.

Love my boys!

San Francisco

Curt and I were able to go to San Francisco earlier this month. It was a quick weekend trip, but a lot of fun. Curt's work gave us a free paid vacation there and it was so nice. My sister Chell was nice enough to watch Holland for us so we could go. We went to a Giants baseball game, ate at a fancy restaurant on the water, went to Pier 39, Lombard Street, China Town, Little Italy, cruised around the bay and under the Golden Gate Bride, and ate so much good food. We are looking forward to going there again.

Update

It's been way too long since I updated our blog. Not too much has happened though. Our little boy is now 7 months old and keeps us busy. We have taken lots of pictures of him, which I should have put on here, but haven't had the time. Holland doesn't like when I am on the computer, so I have a hard time finding time to get on here.

Holland is doing well, and proving to be quite a handful. He is constantly wanting to be entertained and gets bored with things easily. He is rolling all over the place and will find a way to get to wherever or whatever he wants. He is really close to crawling, but I'm a little nervous about what that will bring. He loves being held all the time. He is very vocal and will let you know if he is happy, sad, or mad. He likes to watch TV, and really enjoys the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He loves music! Especially Lady Gaga, we just have to put "Marry the Night" or "You and I" on and he stops crying. We have to listen to her songs a lot in the car.

Last month we introduced rice cereal to him and he was not a fan.

Before


After


After trying rice cereal several times and him throwing it up, I decided to try vegetables instead. He is liking his food a lot and wants me to shovel it in as fast as I can, and if I go too slow he yells.

Holland also really likes his bath time. He gets excited when he hears the water filling up the tub and can't wait for us to get him undressed. He is always very happy in the tub.


Last month Curt got a new job. He still works for the same company, AtTask, but is no longer a financial analyst. He is now the Senior Operations Analyst. I am not sure what it all entails, something with analyzing the operations, haha! He still works with numbers, graphs, charts, excel, etc. He is really enjoying it, especially when they have meetings on the golf course.

I am staying busy being a mom and everything that goes with that. The days seem to fly by. I have really been enjoying the nice weather. Holland and I go on lots of walks. Life is good and we feel extremely blessed.
