Milestones and Pictures (13 Months)

Image
It’s been 15 months since my last post about Holden, and he’s only 13 months old, so clearly I’m not good about being frequent with my blog posts. For 2 main reasons: my first thought when I have something to write about is to put it on Facebook instead, and sometimes I’m frankly just too lazy to write in general. But to make my first post back after an unintentional hiatus an easy one, I’ll do a Holden update. Holden: 13 Months SOCIAL: -He’s been taking weekly classes at Romp n Roll since about April. Before that, he was taking swim classes at Goldfish for a few months and did really well, I was honestly just tired of the bathing suits and wetness and showers/bath that needed to be done before his nap time after. The class he’s taking now is a music/gym combination class. He’s always been a great dancer, can climb our full flight of stairs in less than 30 secs, and can already perfect a half-somersault, so this class is right up his alley.

 This will hopefully be the space where I post about being a mom and raising my son. I definitely prefer vlogging to blogging, but this takes less time and I was recommended to keep writing. Just some disclaimers before it really starts: 1. I will probably curse. I’m Gen Z. 2. I can be a brutally honest person, I can also be very sarcastic. 3. If you’re going to be close to my son and he does something worth writing about or there’s something worth writing about that has to do with him, and it’s something that you witness instead of me, please write about it. On Facebook, or send me it in a text and I’ll post it here, or even make your own blog if you’re going to be super significant in his life and you’ve made a blog about raising your kids and know you should probably make one about raising your grandkids too.
