and so I begin with a photo.


i LOVE this photo...that brilliant overflowing sunshine over Holdyn is just lovely.

Once again my absence upon this blog has stretched over many days. In my haste to begin anew with my photo business, and spending full love filled days with my sweet boy has left my brain a bit disheveled in the evening, leaving me with little energy to form coherent sentences.

However, this night, even though I am completely exhausted I realize that I have not been documenting the gifts of Holdyns days as a toddler. At 1 1/2 he has changed so much. He has been repeating the things that we say for about a month or so now, but has begun to string words together and speak in sentences.

Holdyn now not only toddles and walks...but runs. He jumps (a really adorable little hop).

Just the other day he asked me to give nursies to his bunny, and just today asked me to give nursies to his toy train conductor or "mister"....as he needed nursies for his ouchie after falling out of the train car. I knew that these days would come, but now what they are here...I don't know why I am surprised that Holdyn asks me to nurse his bunny or train conductor, of course he would, because even bunnies need some nursies from mama, and nursies on an ouchie make it feel better (and the antibodies can't hurt either!).

More to come...because I have to document/write out our trip to the ocean a few weeks ago!
