Life in babyland has settled down a bit. Holden can walk on his own and he’s getting better every day. Holden can say a few words, and that’s also very cool. But sometimes you need a new idea for afternoon fun…

When Whitney suggested to our Rookie Moms readers that they seek out fantastic graffiti (Activity #400) as a backdrop for baby photographing, we had to try it.

Yesterday, we found a colorful mural in a safe neighborhood playground park area. Today, we kicked aside rusty nails, broken glass and litter to place our toddlers 10 feet from the train tracks. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

In the last few weeks, Holden has been talking and babbling up a storm. We have gone from him making English-sounding noises to him trying to repeat nearly everything we say in the span of a few weeks…

I don’t know whether other people can make sense of his words, but in this video he wishes Alec a happy birthday.

Step right up… our baby is officially a toddler. Check it out, yo!
