Metamorphosis

It sounds like such a cliche, but Simon seems to be changing by the hour lately.  He’s sitting up on his own, rolling with ease and grabbing at everything in reach.  If I put him on his hands and knees he rocks back and forth and occasionally scoots his butt forward.  Today he reached an arm out while in this postion and reached for a toy.  I think crawling is imminent, which means no more leaving him out of sight while I wander into the kitchen to put the kettle on.  It also means Topher and I have to baby-proof this place soon to prevent Simon from trying to injure/maim/kill himself in new and interesting ways.

We’re also fairly certain that Simon is cutting a tooth.  He has been drooling like a tap for a week or so (resulting in a rash over his cheeks and chin), and today he was fussy, warm and very clingy.  Simon is usually too busy to cuddle so it was nice just to sit with him snuggled into me.  Thank you baby Tylenol!

  1. It is phenomenal how much an infant learns and develops in the first year of life, and Simon is of course remarkable! I’m intrigued to know what Simon is looking at on the lap top? He certainly finds it interesting!! Hugs and kisses, Nana.
