Beeyow!

Simon has been making this weird noise for a couple weeks now.  I don't think it means anything, it's probably just a fun noise for him to make.  I managed to get it on video the other day, along with him singing Itsy Bitsy Spider to me on his own.

18 Month Photo Shoot Christmas Present from Jenn

Jenn's amazing Christmas present to us was a photo shoot of Simon in the same place she took the 6 month shoot so you can really see how much he has grown in the past year. Below are my 15 favorites (ha!) but she took a bunch of pictures. I also added a couple of the 6 month photos that are really similar so you can see how much difference a year makes!

Playing with Trainset

Simon is playing with the train set he got for Christmas. And yes, we did get him a couple of Chicago CTA trains.

Grandpa Swinging Simon

Some morning fun with Simon. Thanks to Kiki for taking the video!

Snowing!

It was snowing yesterday so Simon and I went to the park and then across the street into the garden at the school to play in the snow a bit. Simon is wearing new boots that he's not great at walking in yet.
