Chatterbox
The big news this week is that Simon has crossed crawling off his to-do list. After a few days of tentative rocking back and forth, he’s on the move and can’t be stopped. I used to be able to plop him on the kitchen floor without any worries while I made dinner, but now I can’t take my eyes off him for a minute or else he’s helping himself to a fistful of dry cat food. I wouldn’t mind so much, but it’s light cat food and my baby needs the nutritional benefits of the full fat variety.
Aside from achieving that milestone, we are really enjoying Simon’s talking right now. Our favourite time of the day with him is the morning after we bring him into bed with us (in a desperate and futile attempt to get him to sleep just 30 minutes more). He usually lies on his back and rolls between the two of us, cooing and laughing while pulling his soother out and then popping it back in. Topher and I try to be quiet and lie still so we can enjoy the sounds of our baby talking to himself.
He’s also easy to delight lately. Tickles usually work best, but as you’ll see sometimes all it takes is tossing a toy in the air.

Simon, your laugh made me so happy!!!
QUIT TRYING TO STARVE THE POOR KID - GIVE THE CAT A BETTER GRADE OF FOOD SO THAT SIMON CAN SNACK.
THERE ARE FAMOUS STORIES AROUND MY FAMILY ABOUT ME EATING THE DOG FOOD AT MY GRANDMOTHERS. I OUT SNARLED THE DOG FROM WHAT I HEARD.
SIMON’S LOOKING GREAT. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
Simon is really chatting up a storm and I am sure he is saying some very important things! He has his first tooth so watch out mommy! I met the ladybuds today and Owen, Thomas and Ben are really beautiful babies! Simon is lucky to have so many friends! love Nana.
I wish I could bottle that laugh Simon. Looking forward to seeing you this weekend. We have the “good” cat food here. I’m sure CJ will share!!
woohoo big guy! way to go on the crawling…nothing will stop you now…before you know it you’ll be running!!! and keep that giggling - it’s simply delightful!!!
What contagious laughter. Simon’s joy over a simple, repeated toy toss is a reminder to us all of how wonderful the simple things in life can be. He’s scrumptious, Christopher too. The pleasure daddy is taking in his little baby brings a tear to my eye.
Happy coming up first Father’s Day, my dear nephew Christopher. Love to you, Leila and sweet Simon of course. Holly
