Cousins

Cousins minus Judah (1 years old) who was sleeping.
I just noticed that we now have a 5,4,3,2, and 1 year old!

Lunch with Simon




Two weekends ago I had a great lunch with Simon. We made funny faces at each other and giggled a lot. Yes he is still in his pajamas, but it was Saturday and he loves Elmo! Moments like this make the tantrums and fits all worth it.
I love you Simon!


Motorcycle


One of my "bucket" list items was to ride on a back of a motorcycle.

I got to complete this item on Saturday with my brother-in-law Aaron. It was Awesome, doesn't even begin to describe how much I enjoyed it.

He is learning


Simon has been talking a lot more lately saying three word sentences, repeating what Janna says, etc. His favorite phrase...me too mama!

His newest phrase...where mama go? Mama! Where dada go? Dada! He is so cute.

This past weekend he said his name for the first time. Usually when you ask his name, he says me. He now says "Sime" every now and then you here " Simon" but since Janna calls him Simee it is so fitting and so adorable. He smiled and clapped and was so proud of himself.

He is also saying two when you ask how old he is. He will sometimes try and show you two fingers.

It is so much fun watching him learn and grow.
