Simon got some more shots Thursday, and along with him teething, eating solids, getting more adept at rolling all over, and learning about the world, it's been a busy couple of weeks! He doesn't want to nap--just play instead. I often catch him on the other end of his crib playing with his musical toy. He's been a little fussy recently and I am not sure what it's due to--teething? Lack of sleep? Shots? Separation anxiety? Oy. He is growing well-in the 98th percentile but doc says he is big, not FAT (ahem). Simon is very grabby right now and is always pushing away from me wanting to grab things and throw them on the floor. Fun times. New pics to come soon!

Five Months

Sorry I have not posted anything in so long. Some days it was a struggle to find even a few moments to myself without Simon crying, let alone find the time to get my thoughts together to blog. But crying is the rarity now, and more often than not he is just playing away happily and I am actually bored! It's been a lot of fun along the way--Simon is five months old now and is changing so much. He is exploring everything, wanting to show off how strong he is by trying to stand and bounce, and learning about textures, light, and sounds. It's fun to watch him stare at something and see him learn about something for the first time, like watching his shadow on a door and trying to put his forehead against it so his head is up against the shadow of his head. Of course I think he is so smart, and even though I know he doesn't have a clue what he is saying, I still swell with pride when he says "ma-ma." Of course, "ba" is his other favorite "word," so maybe I shouldn't get too excited.

I know you are wondering, so we weighed him yesterday and he is 19 pounds. Yes, you heard me right.

Well, he is calling for me ("ma-ma!"), haha, so I need to go. Thanks for checking up on us. We will have new pics up soon.

Yes, I know you check it often and it never changes..
