So, Simon is doing great. The reality of him being his own person sunk in today. Just the idea that he has his own personality, his own thoughts, that he's someone that didn't exist a short while back. It's exciting to think about what he'll be like. I don't think that either Amy or I have these ideas of "he'll be a great athlete, or musician, or doctor or anything". We're just interested to see who he becomes.
He was so alert and awake for a portion of the day. Amy and I were laying on the bed reading books and Simon was laying between us just looking back and forth. I think he was trying to read my book, but I wouldn't let him because Harry Potter has "sorcery" and "magic" and girls named "Hermoine" in it. But as I said he was alert and awake, so I put down the book and played with him for about an hour. Just like grabbing my fingers and making funny faces and stuff (I figured Hockey might be too advanced for him at the moment). Clearly the best hour of my week though. He's incredible.
He poops, eats, and sleeps. Other than that we took him out for his first trip (outside of hospitals). We took him to Target. Hah. Nothing but the good life for my boy. Adventure awaits at your friendly neighborhood Target.
Last few days were mostly this:
With an occasional this:
