My Little Cowboy...

Except, he's just not so little anymore.  This little boy, who at one point looked so tiny in his crib -- appears to be busting out more and more everyday.

In a little over three months, this little guy will be TWO...  According to Isla "NOT a big kid, like me", but the way I see it, certainly not a baby anymore.

Jordan and I feel extremely lucky for all that we've been blessed with, and we've known for some time, (barring any totally unplanned accidents), that we will continue to grow together as a very happy family of four.

However, the finality of our decision makes me acutely aware of how fast Holden is growing up, and losing all his "babyisms".

Lucky for me, he hasn't quite lost them all yet...

Though he can be extremely squirmy sometimes, much of the time, he is happiest cuddling and getting squeezes from his Mama.

He still has the sweetest little baby face.  I swear his lips never lost that plumpy baby look that makes every woman envious, and his dark eyelashes go for miles.

And possibly, best of all, his little baby curls are still as wispy and cork-screw blonde as the day they grew in.

I know that the day is coming when I have a full blown kid on my hands - one that I'm constantly taking to activities, and and picking up from friends houses.  I know someday I will let him out on his first bike ride all by himself with his friends, but for right now, in this big nursery, my little guy still looks so small...  And thats just the way I like it.
