Milestones

Holden turned 15 months last week and it was accompanied with a few milestones that made Mom and Dad jump for joy and break out the video camera.

• Holden is a walking maniac. He just walks and walks around the house, no more crawling in his book.
  
• He is signing "milk" and "eat". This makes us very happy, we have been working on "milk", "eat" and "more" for about a month. Its cool to see him understand us, so we have moved on to a few more signs.
  
• He says "baw" for ball, and "dity" for Kitty. All weekend, he kept finding cat toys, little balls with bells in them, and taking them to Jeremy saying "baw, baw". But of course, when Jeremy tried to catch it on video tape Holden decided not to perform.

We recently acquired a dining room table so we did some furniture rearranging this weekend and moved the kitchen table back into the kitchen. Yay for eating in the kitchen again and not in front of the T.V. However, to accommodate a table back in the kitchen we had to retire the highchair. Holden is now full time in a booster seat that attaches to a kitchen chair. It is much more manageable, and much easier to clean than the highchair.

Last random thought, I have two personal goals for June. First, is to get back on track with Couch to 5K, I'm hoping to be running 20 minutes solid by the 4th of July. Second, I'm going to cut down my T.V. time significantly. Not turning it on until 8 pm and if there isn't anything on to watch (like Top Chef) then I am going to find something else to do. I think it will be a hard habit to break, especially since Jeremy isn't convinced of my plan, but I want to find something more productive to do with my time and I don't want us to start a bad T.V. habit for Holden.
