Our little monkey

So, Grandma Dawn got Holden a little monkey costume for Halloween and we figured a trial run might be a good idea. Clearly I am biased but definitely the cutest monkey I have ever seen.

 

Thanks Grandma!

Loving new cold weather...

So, our little lady definitely good dad's love of hats.


Here she is in mine, and then here she is in one of hers, courtesy of Ms. Abbra Sharp who made this and a few more for her.


She is much cuter in hers.

Arts and crafts

One more post with the new mobility. This one is from a few weeks ago. While we have yet to actually cultivate a yard or much of a garden, Holden and I have made the first decoration.


Started with some wet concrete, then added foot.


And then let dry.


We will get better at projects together.

Sorry again...

So Holden and I have had a lot of time playing and have not made a lot of time for this, but since now there's "an app for that" we have no excuse. It's crazy that it's been 9 months already. She's rolling and scooting, eating solid foods, and has some little curls coming in. And I cannot even remember what life was like without her around...


Just a little swing time.

And the Bumbo

She is finally big and strong enough to sit in the Bumbo; 5 months old today and loving life already!

Man's Best Friend

Or maybe it should be Baby's Nervous Friend, if he only knew all the torture she will more than likely put him through.

HELLLLLOOOOO BROOOKLYNN!!!!

Had to lead off with a Beastie Boys quote, just a quick thanks to Aunt Brit and Aunt Carlyn

Sleeping babies are always cute

Ours is especially so, in my opinion at least...

Alex's First Mother's Day

We were lucky enough to have a whole house full of people over for Mother's day.  It was fun to get the marker in Holden's little hand and have her sign the card almost all by herself.  I can not wait until we get to go to the mall and shop for what I am sure will be the best mother's day gift year after year, continually outdoing herself for her mommy.

Easter

While daddy was away, mommy and Holden did a little photo shoot of Holden in her Easter outfit.  With almost every photo there was a new stage of footwear.

 Wearing both shoes and kicking

Both shoes have now been kicked off and the tongue may mean she knows what she did.

Tongue still out, but sitting still for mommy to get the shot.

Uncle Drew came to visit

Got a few shots of when Drew came to visit a few months back.  It seems our baby loves the couch.  Almost everyone who has been photographed with her has at least one photo on the old tan couch.   Drew, sorry it took over 2 months to put these up...

Who me?

All nestled in.

Someone must be really comfortable, just passing out whenever she wants.

Cinco de Mayo

So Alex and Cassie spent the night hanging out with Holden and there is proof of it.  Aunt Cass definitely has a knack for catching a very happy baby.

So...

As it turns out I am not the best at sitting down and getting the blog up to date.  I would love to blame it on being super busy with Holden, but she has just been too nice to us and it is me being lazy.  Sorry, but at least now I should have a healthy wave of new posts all in one.  And all of them will have plenty of cute photos I bet, like the one below of Holden fielding some phone calls.

Holden's 1st Nuggets Game

So we took Holden out for her first pro basketball game, and as expected she loved the loud noises and all the stuff to look at.

 

She got to stay wrapped up for most of the game right where she loves to be, with her mommy

At halftime, while we were all busy having our game time treats (beers) Holden had a little dinner and then stretched out at Blue Sky and hung with her friends too.

We had quite the crew to help celebrate the Nuggets win and now Holden and I will be going to Taco Bell because the Nuggets scored over a 100 points.

Hanging with Grandma & Grandpa Frazier

Just a couple of photos we snapped last weekend...

So much has happened in the last few months...

So, much like a slacker, I have been a little lax on getting the blog updated.  We have been "busy", that is why I have not been on that much.  So a few little things, we learned to blow spit bubbles, rolled over once, and all and all had a pretty good little bit.  Now cue your favorite montage song by some one hit wonder from the 80's...

Went to SIA and got held by lb, she must have been held very fast because everything is blurry but Lesley's smile.

Went to a DU hockey game with Grandma and Grandpa Frazier.  My daughter has officially been to at least 3 ice rinks, so proud.

Squeeze in a little time for a nap.

Was out for the first Saturday bike ride and brunch.

 

Uncle Drew came out to visit and they got to spend all kinds of time together, she was quite a fan and I am pretty sure the feelings are mutual.

And we made it out for one of the last Nugget games of the regular season.  They did not win, but who knows what will happen in the playoffs.

More photos to come of Uncle Drew's visit, as well as Aunt Lori and Uncle Bill, who were in town for a little bit as well.

Bowling with the Buskers

This was definitely getting its own post, Holden has officially had her first night out at Elitch Lanes, the first of many I am sure.  She definitely will not have any problem getting into it, judging by the big smile.  She is also not so bad at picking up really hot blondes...

The Busker's came to visit

Dana, Darri, Henry, Hillary came in for a quick visit this last weekend.  They were only here for a few days, but we fit all kinds of stuff in, like a really exciting trip to the Denver Mint.   Then they had a little lunch at Brother's Bar.

 

Then everyone headed home and relaxed around the house for a bit.

Then we went on a tour of Invesco Field, where Henry had to stifle the urge to yell "Go Bears" at every stop.  Even went down to the field.

 

Hillary and Henry both got in a little time holding Holden

Then before the took off for the really fun ride home they were nice enough to come cheer on some hockey, it was almost like watching the Olympics.  Almost.

 

Chase does a little puppysitting...

Lately, even Chase has even gotten into spending time with the new addition to the house, maybe he is trying to figure what all the fuss is about.

 

Or maybe he thinks she is as cute and fun as we do!

Just a cute one for starters...

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

 

And Daddy's Dinner Date
