Holden and Grandpa

Holden's official first word is "Bam-pa" (Grandpa), which is fitting since he is Holden's favorite person in the world. He says mama, dada - but I am not really sure he says it about us or if he is just babbling. But, the word Grandpa is very clear and only when Grandpa is around. So cute! When Holden hears his voice, he squeals with delight and runs to find him. If I am holding him, he will start leaning toward Grandpa. He wants Grandpa’s 100% attention when he is around. And, of course, when Grandpa leaves, there are tears. These two just have a special connection that I love to see and I hope it will only grow and blossom over the years.

As a side note and for my own records, I never posted Holden's one year check-up info.  He is a big boy - but pretty even at least with his height and weight percentage.  He is getting so big!
