Holland turns 28 months old

Holland is 2 years and 4 months old today.  Kirk and I are very proud of Holland and how she is growing and changing every day.  Holland can count to 25 in English and count to 10 in Spanish, knows the majority of the alphabet letters, all the colors, all shapes, and even knows left and right.  Holland is doing great in school.  She goes into school without crying or having any tantrums.  She has received only green marks (great behavior) each day at school.  She is potty trained to the point of only wearing a pullup at night in case of accidents.  Holland seems to be excited about about the baby.  She will come up to me to kiss and hug my belly and tells me, "I have to kiss and hug the baby."  She is so sweet and wants to help set up the nursery.  She is such a darling at night.  When she goes to bed, she will say, "night night, sweet dreams, love you."  I truly love mornings because she will come get in bed with us and she loves to snuggle.  It's so sweet because she gets so close and wants to be held.  When Holland blows kisses or gives us kisses, it just melts my heart.  She is very affectionate and wants to hug every person she meets.  Right now, Holland's favorite things are anything Hello Kitty or Dora the Explorer.  Now, Holland is in the "terrible 2's" and she will throw fits.  But overall it isn't terrible and a little verbal discipline works.

Here is Holland's first official school picture.  Overall, she posed well but someone else fixed her hair.  :)
