Simon and Daddy

Up Up and Away

Simon LOVES this... but Mommy still grits her teeth.

Simon Riding on Pop

Pop loves giving Simon rides... but with Simon pushing 21+ lbs, it gets heavy fast.

Hands in the Fountain

All three kids wanted to put their hands in the fountain. I think Kacey (the oldest at 1 year) was the only one who was successful since we had to lean over the lower fountain to touch this one.

October Simon

Here are some pictures of Simon (and family) taken during the early portion of October. His Lollie and Pop (Grandparents Brees) gave him some Halloween socks, shirt and bib... all of which he's put to great use. And Simon is moving around a good bit more in bed... we find him in some crazy positions each morning.

Simon's Fauxhawk

So Eileen, Simon's nanny, had Simon alone one Friday. She got bored so she gave him a bath and decided to give him a little hairstyle to match his personality. It was so cute.

Simon and Mommy

Well... Stacy's head is cut out of this one, but Simon's finally looking at the camera (one of about 25 pictures)

Simon's visit with Brees grandparents

Simon spent 10 days in Rock Hill with his Brees grandparents. Clearly he had a marvelous time! As proof of this, when I picked up Simon to bring him back home, Ray handed me a manila envelope of pictures that he and Laurie took during the visit. Here they are - hope you like them.

Is this what I'll look like when I grow up?? 

Simon on the potty 

Simon eating a Snickers... just kidding! Ray and Laurie set this picture up as a joke. I believed them for a second... Mommy likes Snickers, so why wouldn't baby?? 

Hey guys, I'm not napping anymore!! 

In the jumperoo, playing with the giraffe puppet... a winning combination! 

Simon and Mommy travel to Nebraska

Simon and Mommy went to Nebraska to visit our aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. We got to attend a bridal shower for Heidi, and generally had a good time. Simon was a perfect angel on the plane, and his mommy was so proud of him.

We were probably 1/2 the population of Dwight NE at this point in the day! 

Cousins

Simon all tuckered out after having some QT and a bottle with Great Grandma Gilly.

Great Grandma Gilly eating lunch with most of her great-grandkids (babies Ethan, Simon, and Blake can't yet eat pizza and snort drinks out their nose when they laugh, so are missing from this tableau) 

Hmm... I wonder what this is? 

Beautiful cake decorated by Aunt Dianna and Aunt Donna... and it was yummy too!
