uh oh...we're in trouble...

I put Hollis in his bed to play for a few minutes while the cleaning people were cleaning the floors and this is what I walked in on... :)

...and he's pulling up...

Oh wow! So much has happened since my last post. This past Friday, Hollis pulled to stand and went from crawling to sitting up (I didn't see him to it, but it happened!). Yesterday, though, he figured out how to pull up in his bed and was staring down at the floor like a boy standing on the edge of a diving board contemplating jumping...and I walked in! Whew! Needless to say, Walter lowered the mattress last night. :) Our new console for all of our media components (minus the LARGE sub woofer which I am told has to stay out) was delivered by our friends at Weir's this morning and I am so excited. No more putting the baby barricade in front of our little makeshift media console we had before. Nothing much more to report on. ...Well, nothing besides important things like American Idol. Two early favs: Siobhan and Crystal. I also like Didi. As for the guys, none of them have really had me jumping out of my seat yet. We will see. As I am typing this, my sweet little leprechaun is in his bed crying as if I hurt his feelings...he is SO tired and needs to sleep. Here is a picture of him in his St. Patty's Day gear. Until next time...

Hollis looking too cool in his shades right before our walk today. Thank you William for the shades!

Christmas Card 2009

(Taken Nov. '09 - Hollis 4 Months)

Pigs have flown and hell has frozen over...

It's true. That is what I said about having a blog when people would ask me. -...and it was probably followed by something like, " are you kidding me? I wouldn't be caught dead doing that..." Well, my friends. The time has come. As a mommy I have already learned to never say never. I cannot promise that this blog will be interesting, funny, or attract any followers. I can only promise that I will do my best to vent, reflect, share, and maybe, just maybe entertain sometimes. Once I get really good at it, hopefully I will bring tears to your eyes and smiles to your faces at some point! Hopefully over the next few days I will begin to post some pictures. Hollis is almost 8 months old! So hard to believe. Walter and I are so in love with our sweet son and he brings so much joy to our lives! I will now sign off...bid farewell to my inaugural blog post.
