Day after eye surgery fun!

Loving the swings still and sitting on the bench feeding himself like such a big boy!!

So tired after an oddly grouchy day. Must be he is teething. (Saw an old friend today who told me to blame anything I can on teething, but it makes sense.)

They call him Limon Simon

I know Emily already did a post on this, but I have one more video I wanted to share.  This one is right when he first started chewing on the limes and really had no idea what to expect.  My favorite part is how he would look up at us after the bites with a little smile, like "this food makes me feel funny!"

Speedy recovery

Just to clarify, the picture in the previous post is of Simon in the morning *before* his surgery.  That was just a mild example of the crusty eye that the surgery will hopefully fix. 

Simon's recovery was actually incredibly easy and fast.  Once he'd had a chance to nurse with Emily a bit after he woke up, you couldn't tell from looking at him that he'd been through anything out of the ordinary that morning at all (aside from the purple marker above his right eye, but what kid doesn't have marker on their face now and then?).  He was his normal happy self almost immediately, charming everyone that came by. 

Here's a picture of Simon taken in the recovery room about 15 minutes after he woke up from the surgery.  He was having a ton of fun waving around two tiny anesthesia masks the nurses let him play with.

See ya later, Eye Goop!

Bye-bye, Auntie Amy. Thanks for the cool new shirt! It says "I Dig Dirt"

I know there is something cool in here,
I just need to figure out how to open...
