I’m so sorry y’all. My brother, Chad, just got on my virtual case for not updating more. When our stupid Gallery software broke about 6 months ago (stupid Gallery!), we just stopped updating our photos. Lame excuse, but it’s my excuse.

Here’s a recent picture to show you all the progress that we’ve got. Milo has some (tiny bits but always growing) red hair. And he can walk. In fact, with the toddling has come some real toddler attitude. He is a loving little guy always kind to baby dolls and women with earrings but he gets very frustrated if you don’t pass the banana quickly enough (or if you don’t understand what he’s grunting for). Milo also recently figured out how to say Holden but it sounds like “Aldo” or “All done.” He says “hello” whenever the phone rings and is a happy little dude.

Holden is a bright 3 year old with many questions and many answers. After asking me yesterday what a construction vehicle did, he said “good guess” and proceeded with his own explanation. He likes to do everything his way even when it means something completely illogical or frustrating (like screaming at bedtime or putting the germs back ON his teeth after brushing). He’s a kind and gentle big brother most of the time, and he is thrilled to see Milo walking and talking. He takes his jobs very seriously and often guards the front gate so Milo doesn’t run into the street.

Come on out to Berkeley y’all. I have a gajillion pictures on my computer to share and will post them if time and software permit.
