Feet!

Simon has started grabbing at his feet, especially on the changing table. It has made diaper time lots more interesting.



Note to Bostonians: As you'll see above, Simon has given the Minnesota Twins his allegiance. He doesn't know much else though, as he owns no Red Sox gear. :)

Christmas!

We've been slowly but surely getting ready for Christmas around here. Simon seems relatively unimpressed by the Christmas tree - I thought he might think the colored lights were pretty cool. But he's happy to pose in front of it!




He also got a fun Christmas onesie from his Auntie Sonnie:

The Christmas photos we took of Simon weren't ALL bad. Here are a few we liked but didn't ultimately make the cut! :) (For that, you'll have to wait and see...)

Oooh, so soft....

We've been seriously delinquent in posting some photos of Simon on his beautiful sheepskin rug from his Great-Uncle Craig and Great-Aunt Lynn. They gave it to us as a gift last Christmas! Now that he is good enough at holding himself up, he can have tummy time on it - before he used to end up with his face buried in it and it wasn't a good thing.

As you can see, he loves how nice and soft it is!

Merry Christmas!

After we saw one of these on Langdon & Anna's blog, we had to do one ourselves. :)

Christmas card outtakes

It took quite a few tries to finally get a good Christmas card photo. Here are a few of the rejects. Enjoy. :)

Boo. Kitty!

Simon has taken quite an interest in the cats lately. If they walk through a room, he'll watch them and follow them until they leave. He also likes "petting" them, if they allow him to get close. So far only Nasha has obliged, and doing so requires that either Troy or I be petting her also. Sangi remains wary as always and flees the scene if Simon gets too close. "Constant vigilance." (Two points to the first person to comment with the correct movie and literary references in this post!)
