Simon's Christmas

Simon met Santa for the first time--he was so happy to see him, it was like he knew him already... And then the next morning he got more gifts than we had battery-power to record.

Christmas!

Here comes Santa Claus! (Really Uncle Robert but shhhhh- don't tell.)




















Simon and Santa- this was a pretty near perfect moment.



















And snuggling with Aunt Lisi. What a great Christmas!
 

Christmas started early!

We had a great time at Rockefeller Center with Grandpa Don and Grandma Jean.




























Simon is pretty popular everywhere he goes. One of Julia's 4th grade classes collected presents for him- you see them all arrayed here. Simon thought the whole things was a ton of fun!

 

Simon Meets a Christmas Tree

Daddy helps Simon meet his very first Christmas Tree!














Simon decided he liked it!













While getting Simon all bundled up to take him outside is a major project
- the result is worth it!
 

The First Christmas Party

Simon takes his piano playing very seriously.

















Santa? Where are you?













The fabulous Kwiatkowski's (Ken, Sue, & Gary)
always throw a great Christmas party.
 

A Great Hike

Grandpa Steve sure was proud to carry this backpack!




























The hiking crew: Jesse, Sarah El., Sarah E., Will, Peter, Erica, Steve, Simon, and Julia.
Sue hiked a little and shuttles cars.
Simon was the only person who managed to hike and nap at the same time.


 

Simon's First Thanksgiving

Simon and Daddy looking fine.














Cuddling with Mama.




















Very cute!




















With the Sarahs, you can tell he loved them both!

 

Question: What do we keep under the living room tables?

Answer: A baby!














Simon loves Mama's hair.














Simon meets fall for the first time.


 

Putting Fear Into the Hearts of Yankee Fans Everywhere

Simon's halloween costume...


















the Green Monster! (If you need to be clued in, the Green Monster is the huge wall at the back of Fenway Park where the Red Sox play.)














Too cute!




















Getting cozy with Uncle Robert.

 

A longer movie of Simon, with hair and without

Let us know if this longer video gives you any problems.

Mostly Pumpkins

Simon held his own bottle for the first time.





















We had fun carving pumpkins with the Snarr Family.
Hannah and Megan liked their pumpkins a lot.














Simon looked a lot like his pumkin.














He liked it too.

Simon and the Giraffe

We're a little behind with our video posts. Here is one from August 21. When he still had hair.

Stats

Just in case anyone wants to know-
Simon is now 21 lbs 14 oz and 28 inches long.

The First Parental Regret

Simon and Mama at the Making Strides for Breats Cancer walk.















Simon loves his hat from Aunt Sarah- but it does create vision problems occaisionally.















And now the regret... Simon needed another hair-cut, we had clippers...

Now he looks like a bowling ball.


 

Testing out a movie

No matter what he was doing Simon was the center of attention.
