The Ruse Family: He's hit the double digits!

Today Holden turned 10 months old. That's right. 10 months old. I can't believe it. I think when your child hits the double digits, even if it is in months, something inside of you freaks out because you realize that your baby isn't so much of a baby any more. The way Holden can already communicate...the words that already have meaning to him...all just blow me away.

He's such a sweet little guy. So loving and kind. So much like Tim. Even at this age, I can see a lot of similarites in their personalities.

It's been such a blessing to have the opportunity to be at home with Holden. I wouldn't trade it for any thing in the world. I haven't missed a single thing and I will forever be thankful for these precious days at home, that I know will pass far too quickly.

He keeps us on our toes these days. He's constantly on the go and into every thing. There's this one cabinet door on our tv cabinet that holds all our VHS movies and I think it will be the death of us. He's obessed with finding the movie, "Yours, Mine, and Ours" and "Rain Man." Such broad tastes he has.

This is one of his favorite toys. The spoon. If I'd only known, we could've saved a bundle on toys! In fact, any thing that's not a toy is most interesting to him.
