Non-smiling baby is not smiling
We went to Winterlude to go down the iceslides this weekend with Jason, Theresa and Bo. We had a great time, although Holden was very unimpressed with the slides. We thought he would either hate them or love them. Were we ever surprised by his complete lack of emotion. He seemed to much prefer when daddy carried him on his shoulders.
Here are some pics of Holden being very unimpressed:

Down they go!

Sleepless..... days?
So our nights are still fairly good. Holden goes down around 9 (we're working on getting it earlier!) and usually only wakes up to eat twice, occasionally we're really lucky and he'll only wake up once to eat! Then we're up at 7:30.
But our days have gone in the crapper!! My little buddy refuses to nap properly, and it turns him into a cranky pants by the end of the day. He'll sleep great as long as he's in our arms, but it's time to break that. I can't have him sleeping in my arms for two or three 2 hour naps a day, he's getting heavy! So now he's having about six 20 minute naps a day (it's horrible!!) instead of 3 nice 2 hour naps. I feel like I'm spending my entire day trying to get him to sleep!!
My objective is for him to have at least two naps a day that last 1.5 hours or more, and for him to fall asleep on his own and not in my arms.
We've got a new book "The No-Cry Sleep Solution" which I'll be putting to the test. I still have to finish it, and it'll be a couple of weeks of lots of repeat repeat repeat, but hopefully some of the tricks will work.
If any of you moms have any tricks out there, write them in the comments!!!!!
On a different note, we went for a nice winter hike on the weekend and brought Holden along in his sleigh. He's still a little small to put him in it directly, so we rigged up his carseat to fit in it. Here are some pics!

Motor Mouth!
Holden had great visits with Grand Daddy and then Nanny and Pappa yesterday.
First up was Grand Daddy where Holden introduced Grand Daddy to his newfound talent for high volume drooling and willingness to share. Grand Daddy was unfazed, in a good way, by Holden's generosity. Barry's dog Ralph broke the cold war and was the first to ackowledge Holden. He gave him a few curious sniffs and when Holden remained indifferent, swatted him with his tail. Holden probably deserved it for being such a snob.
We then visited Nanny and Pappa. Holden was a little fussy for the first little while, but once he took a relaxing snooze and settled down, he had loads of fun. It seems he had a lot to share with Nanny because he was talking to her non-stop. We weren't smart enough to understand what he was saying, but he remained patient and continued talking with us all the same. He was so talkative that Mommy got a little teary eyed at that special moment!
We've been taking Holden for daily walks, often more than once a day and he LOVES the outdoors. This afternoon we plan to take him hiking in the woods where we will use our wooden sleigh for the first time. The sleigh was a gift from Grand Maman's friends Pierrette and Claude. Its exactly like a sleigh I had when I was a kid and I'm really looking forward to using it today!
