The sweetest thing on this earth!

My baby joy: You laugh and smile all the time. You even laugh when you cryn'! You try so hard to please us, which you always do...and you are learning constantly and your words and actions show us it is true. My favorites are hard to narrow, everything you do makes you my hero! One day you will make the best big brother, how lucky we'll me to have another!!! My sweet little boy, I love you in ways you will never understand, a love you make so easy, I am your #1 FAN. Dear, dear Simon, thank you for giving ME life! I can never repay you and I love you so . Thank you for the blessing of letting me watch you grow!
Some of Simon's latest funnies: He LOVES animals, so naturally he goes around the house saying dog-dog (dog) and woo-woo ( for the doggy noise); duck-duck for duckie; ho-seeeyyy ( for horsey) fissy ( fishy), growls for bears and other large animals.

He loves his "daddy"...he loves to watch him use his tools, and since he loves them so much, we bought Simon a tool set of his own. He takes them EVERYWHERE! And mimics what Spencer does- truly hilarious!
Also, the boy loves to laugh! He laughs at things that you aren't supposed to laugh at in public, like when a woman at Costco was standing in front of us and ( i can't say this delicately) farted...Simon started laughing! And that made all the people standing around us laugh...which is always the case when I am with Simon.

Simon takes a gym class, and it is safe to say, that he has NO fear! Despite my constant "bans" from EVERYTHING because I myself am the biggest scaredy cat ever! So, he learned how to do flips on the bar, and one day I put him in his pack n' play in the kitchen with a plethora of toys while I was making us breakfast. All of a sudden I hear him kind of grunt & giggle and I see him standing on one of his toys so that he is at waist level with the top of the pack & play. And just as I look over- he does his flip exactly as was taught to him in gym! Yep, right onto the wood floor!!! Our kitchen is so long that there is no way that I could have gotten to him in time, but I will tell you what: worst feeling ever! Until that is:

He fell out of the car! Who is the worst mother ever?! We were on our way to a birthday party, and we were loading the car with the presents, Simon and other things. There were 3 adults standing around him and each of us thought the other had him. Well, he was standing in between the seats in the back, and started walking backwards...another thing he learned in gym class! :0 It just so happens that the door was open and he fell right out of the car and hit his poor little head on the corner of the curb!!! Mother's worst nightmare! My sister, father and I were running and swearing and freaking out whilst the neighbors thought we were abusers! Ya...thank the Lord that he is seemingly fine- but after always being TOO cautious and finally not being such a stickler... I learned that you can NEVER be too cautious!

Anyway... I will end on one more cute thing, because the list really could go on forever: but Simon LOVES to dance! He has literally been "dancing" since he was weeks old. He LOVES music!!! If a sign of a beat is within his ears- the boy starts dancing! And- he is right on beat! Whether it be slow or fast, he hears the beat and can dance to it! And the dance moves he comes up with- HYSTERICAL! I will have to post a video sometime, but OH I LOVE HIM!
