Simon ate his first real food last night and he loved it. Sweet potatoes are great! He had absolutely no problems knowing what to do and got excited when we came to him with another spoonful. He wasn't great about swallowing everything he got since he wanted to still chew on his fingers while he was eating. We gave him the spoon at the end (a soft baby spoon) and he knew just what to do with it - eat it!
A long, sad day with lots of new people. But still lots of laughs.
Folks have been saying he looks bigger in the pictures, so I have one of standing at my normal height looking down on him. He is pretty small still.

| For his 6 month birthday, I hope he learns how to change his own diaper |
Jennifer (Jenn) is Simon's lovely new nanny. Today was their first day together, full of fun and laughs!

| We had a wonderful view of the rowdy neighbors' rooftop party area, the CTA Brown Line platform ("this is Paulina"), and the Eiffel tower. The doorway on the right leads to the dresser/closet/trashcan/changing table area and the bathroom |

| Looking from the living room over the peninsula into the kitchen and the back door. On the left is the little "microwave closet" in the breakfast area. We weren't sure what we were going to use for shelving in there, but Larry found a super inexpensive cabinet to install and used some of the leftover granite for the top |
