Since Holden's favorite place is the pier/dock, we spent lots of time there. Here are the highlights:

Relaxing on the Dock

Holden loved spending time out on the dock watching his uncles go crabbing and swimming in the water. It was so relaxing that he even took a nap out there - that meant I even had a few minutes to read my book! We will definitely go back there soon.

A Full Day!

Holden had a full day, and was a great sport as we took him all over town. He was wiped out by the time we got back to our beach house. ..but, as we know, Holden doesn't like to miss anything. He woke right up the minute we went to put him to sleep!

Roadside - Our Favorite!

We took Holden to Roadside restaurant in Duck for some yummy seafood. It's one of our favorite restaurants, and now Uncle Adam and Uncle Chris love it too. Holden was a big hit with the staff there, especially in his outfit his Daddy bought him in Hawaii!

Soaking up the Rays

Holden had a fun day at the beach, but it was a short visit because it was so hot out. He kept busy though - he layed out, put his toes in the sand, and took a little dip in the water with Dad.

Top of the Lighthouse

We took Holden to the Outer Banks this weekend with his Uncle Adam and Uncle Chris and showed them all our favorite places. We started out the weekend with a visit to the Currituck Lighthouse. Jason was a nervous wreck when I decided to take Holden all the way up the 214 steps to the top. It was a beautiful view and Holden loved the breeze once we made it to the top! But, according to Jason, Holden is not going up there again anytime soon.

Like Father, Like Son

I came home from getting a pedicure and found my two boys sound asleep. They must have been playing hard while I was gone. Guess I should go and get a pedicure more often!

Holden's First Tooth

After days of drooling, we finally discovered Holden's first tooth when it popped up on the bottom Friday morning. Holden is amazed by it and keeps rubbing it with his tongue. He won't let me get a picture of it so you will have to take our word that it is really there. He's growing up so fast!

Fun at Little Gym

It was fun and games at the Little Gym on Friday. Holden was amazed at all of the colors when he took a ride on the parachute. The bubbles were also a big hit with Holden and the other kids in his class. Can't wait until our next class.

Aunt Kara Comes to Visit

Holden's Aunt Kara came down for a visit to watch Holden while we were working. She put her teacher skills to work and taught Holden his colors...and she followed the rules and made Holden have tummy time. Holden can't wait for her to come back again soon.

Working his Magic

Caitlin got more than she bargained for when she came over Saturday to play. Holden didn't want to let her go...but it looks like she finally came around and the night ended with a kiss.

Our Little Punk Rocker

Jason decided it was time to give Holden his first Mohawk during bath time. Holden's hair is so crazy, it was easy to do. Luckily I was there to wash it out before it became his permanent hair style!

This fun is measured in feet

Holden's discovered his feet and he loves to lay around and play with them. His newest challenge is to get them in his mouth, but he hasn't quite figured yet. He's getting closer every day though. Guess he thinks his feet smell good just like his Mom and Dad!

Little Giggle Bug

Holden kept us entertained one night as he laughed all through dinner. It's amazing the little things that make him laugh. Hope you laugh along with Holden!

A ride with Grandpa

Grandpa and Grandma Jonczak came over to visit for the 4th of July. Holden kicked back and relaxed when they took him for a long walk - he loved the stroller and wants to go for another ride soon!

Yummy!

We tried giving Holden rice cereal for the first time and he is not so sure about it. He pretty much had it everywhere except his mouth since he spit out everything we put in.
