Holland

I love that little girl so much.  Here are some things I have discovered help us all be our happiest together.

-Holland being on her schedule.  I have a renewed testimony of this every weekend when she is off it.  It’s like night and day.  And i don’t mean like feeding and story time etc.  Just nap times basically.

-Cheerios.  They make her happy.

-Reggae music.  This totally sooths her oddly.  We were stuck in our car inside our car elevator on Monday (yeah even was super mad). And Holland had a stinky diaper (the worst thing in her world) and the reggae totally silenced her.  Like she didn’t fall asleep or anything, she was just soothed I guess.  Crazy.

-Her new play pen.  Now that she is climbing on EVERYTHING and then falling down onto everything else below, the play pen is essential.  I bought the biggest size I could find so she’d have plenty of room in there.  This way we can still hang out in the same room and chat etc but I don’t have to constantly grab her to protect her from something.

-Rock-a-bye-Baby.  It’s her favorite song to be sung in her ear when she’s sad.

-plastic disposable goods.  She’d rather play with a cliff bar wrapper or Tupperware than her toys. 

-Bath time.  It’s fun!  I stick her in her little yellow floatie and we hop in together.  lavender oil is a plus.  and we use yummy Burt’s bees which has been great. 

-Her thighs.  They make me like my own better cause i finally realized chubby thighs are soooo cute!

-The park.  We go every day we can and its just a great change of scene and fun to get out! Outdoors are great mood lifters around here.  I always feel more energetic when I get outside.

Weekend

This weekend my dad flew out again.  We had a fun couple days.  Went to a great new restaurant with a vegan couple from church. Got dad. Took a morning walk out to Copley for a cinnamon roll with Holland and dad.  Went to a ward fundraiser where we won a weekend at cape cod this summer.  Went to a barbecue that evening with a bunch of fun couple and some little kids. Spent some quality time at the duck pond.  Sat on a dock on the Charles rive while the sun was going down.  Evan Became the 2nd counselor in our Bishopric. Dad and Evan flew out early this morning.  Here is an old pic.  She was so tiny.  I love her so much.

This is sorta what holland looks like when she’s done with the tub. Slightly confused about how to escape and trying to flop her way out…

So Evan hates this pic (think he finds it kinda metro/ironic- which he isn’t).  But I like it and he has yet to read my blog. Being around him for the past 2.5 years has really taught me a lot. -It doesn’t matter what we have or where we are.  We are happy because of what we believe about ourselves and who we love. -We can have different interests and not compete one bit. -I don’t need someone else to tell me that I am right. -We can disagree and really who cares. -People have so many dimensions that we never see and we have so many dimensions that we never knew existed until a particular person or situation brings it out.  -Everyone has weaknesses.  I think Evan’s perfect but what I never knew until after i married him is that he needs/loves to be babied to high heaven. -I have leaned a lot about business and consulting.  He like to practice cases with me and we are always trying to figure out business problems together in every day life. -I like who I am with him.  I feel intellectually stimulated.  I get to laugh a LOT. I feel secure.  I feel like I can pursue anything.  I feel a little shorter.
