OUCH!! OR いたい！

Our HUSKY Holden is so strong. He is loving crawling around and shortly after crawling he wanted to walk and stand up. He has been working on standing for about 4 weeks and is doing really well. He is always pleased with himself when he stands on his own. He loves to go around our table while holding on to the edges. He is getting really good at it too. He can go so fast that if Mom, Dad or お兄ちゃん　are not watching his hands are in the food on the table.

He loves to sit in his japanese "highchair" which is not high and eat yogurt. He is such an opinionated child. He knows what he wants and will complain until someone pays attention to him. About a week ago Mom put him in his chair and went to get the yogurt out of the fridge. He is a STRONG little boy. Sometimes he scares us! He decided to rock back and forth in his chair. Not smart! He ended up tipping his chair over with him in it and hitting his face and upper lip on the edge of the table. He tore the inside of his upper lip and was bleeding like crazy. It immediately began to swell up and お兄ちゃん(Hos) was worried. Hos began to cry telling Mom and Dad that he did not want Holden to die. We explained to him that Holden was not going to die. But he continued to cry. Holden saw Hos crying and cried even harder. This made Hos cry even harder. This was an escalating situation which we finally were able to dissipate. We took Holden to the Doctor and he gave us some medication to put in his mouth. He cautioned us to be careful and that from this point on Holden will be even more curious and crazy. His mouth is completely healed now and he is doing much better. We have to laugh because we both think he will be the tougher of the two boys.

Dre says he is going to be our football player. I would have to agree. He has enjoyed throwing a ball for the last 2 months. Who ever heard of a 7 month old throwing a ball.
