Labor Day of LOVE (ahhhhh)


We have an annual meeting of the mindless at our house over the Labor Day weekend.  My mom, dad, sis, brother-in-law, nephew, husband, and now baby ... sit around eating (a lot,) watching TV (a lot,) and laughing (a lot.)  

I was very excited that my sister and her clan made it to the festivities this year, they thought they may have to work the whole weekend.

Can you believe Holden weighs about the same as his sweet little 2 1/2 year old cousin, Sawyer????  I was afraid Holden would roll over and "squarsh" him while playing on the floor.

The highlight for me was when Sawyer saw that Holden had a blob of slob forming on his bottom lip, picked up Holden's burp cloth, and dabbed away the damp followed by a soft, " 'der ya go."

The picture at top is of my brother-in-law, Sawyer, my sis Sara, and Holden.  Aren't they cute?  I don't know why the color looks washed out here, click to enlarge ... the color is better, too.

Holden wants so badly to crawl.  He becomes quite (comically) frustrated when he really wants to do something and can't ... he must get that from his daddy.  He will now get up on hands and knees and spend several seconds grunting in frustration which is sometimes followed by a long screech ... picture, if you will a full-grown lion in miniature scale roaring.  He rocks steadily front, back, front, back, 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... GO! and falls flat on his face.  Is it wrong that I laugh?
