Lawn work

Simon and Alan did lawn work this weekend. It had gotten a bit crazy since we were out of town last week. Alan got a new thing for the mower that picks up the clippings and is putting that on in the first picture. Simon is picking up the toys that somehow keep getting spread across the lawn.

Look at the neighbor's garage color - copy cats!

What a difference the mowing makes!

Flashback! Grandma and Grandpa Basque Visit - March 22 - April 2

Three months late, here are some pictures and videos from Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Ken's visit to Chicago at the end of March.  Simon was about 9 months old then and had learned lots of new tricks to show off since the last time they saw him back in December.  One of the biggest things he started doing that weekend was initiating games (he would hide behind blankets or the end of the couch and pop out to play peekaboo).  He also started showing that he understood when one action would lead to another, and had fun with that anticipation while dancing with Grandma and being chased around by Grandpa.

More pics and vids after the jump...

So many things going on that we're way behind in posts. But here is a Simon walking/waving video taken today by Jenn to tide you over.

So so tired, good day

These pictures were take a minute or two apart, he didn't move. We will do some full posts later, but I wanted to get a few pictures up for folks to see. 

Party and cake round 1

We made a ball pit out of balloons. Kiki blew all the balloons up! They were a huge hit across the board.

Also a picture of him eating cake. He seemed to like it.
