Simon in recovery room
The young man is doing alright. He gave us a little half laugh and has smiled a couple times. The doctors have him on some pretty strong stuff to control the pain that also makes him super sleepy. He should be out of the 'check on him every hour' room mid day tomorrow. Things are going great!

Food, Glorious Food
Simon has been working hard the past month to keep his title of "the best eater". He got off to a great start with the sweet potato and has been pretty solidly plowing through anything we can send his way. For a while he had a rough time with the greens (broccoli, green beans and peas) but with the addition of the food mill to our culinary tools instead of just the food processor we tried peas again and he liked them way better (still with a carrot mixer).
Today we tried avocado for the first time and the little man loved it. He ate an entire half an avocado (just mashed with a fork).
After the jump is a little video of Simon showing us how delicious prunes are (with a guest appearance from Amy's hands). And I've for some reason also included a list of all the foods he's eaten to date and how he liked each one. Way too much detail, obviously I'm getting slap happy and should go to bed.

Christmas in Chicago
We had a lovely Christmas and Simon had a blast. He wore a cute new reindeer outfit from his Aunty Lisa. Simon got a bunch of wonderful presents - toys and clothes and books, along with a food mill we can use to make his baby food and a wipe warmer so we don't freeze his poor bum with cold wet cloth wipes! But his favorite present of all might have been the tissue and wrapping paper things were wrapped in (which we didn't let him eat). We did let him eat the "baby paper" that crunches like tissue paper but was cloth wrapped so it doesn't break away when soaked in drool.
After the jump are some (okay, a whole lot of) pictures.
