What's cooking good looking?

Simon got to visit with Uncle James shortly before he left for prom on Friday night. Later that night when Simon was getting ready for bed he said: "Mommy, when I grow up I want to be just like my uncles. They are so cool!"

Things I Love...

I love my building blocks. My favorite thing to do is to knock down the towers that my mom builds.


I also love crawling. This has changed my life. I am so speedy and good at it. I don't like the gates that have started to appear around the house... they really hold me up.

Food... food... glorious food. Watermelon is at the tippy top of my favorite list. With 6 teeth I am now ready to take on most of everything. Thank God for teeth.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy birthday to the most wonderful mother around! We have learned so much from your generous and loving ways! What a special treat to have such a dear friendship with such a dear mother.

We are all praying for you in such a special way today on your birthday! Mother of Fair Love help your children. Amen.

What a sweetheart!

Birthday Fun

Simon turned 6 months on Friday!

Daddy got Simon a very special birthday present...a drum! You can see how happy Simon is to play with it. Mommy thinks he is going to be a rock star.

He also had cereal for the first time. He wasn't the biggest fan...

and found it much more entertainng to feed himself.

Shock!

I just found out today that my mom and dad haven't posted anything in over three months! So much has happened! I can now sit up on my own, babble & lecture (especially durring homilies at mass), reach for anything in arm's length and roll over. Sometimes I get into such a rolling over mode that I make myself dizzy. Apparently I have become quite the scooter at night too. Mom and Dad will wake to find me on the opposite end of the crib...what they haven't realized yet is that I actually climb out of the crib and watch late night tv...shhhh.

I am very excited for Friday- it is my 6 month birthday and mommy has promised me my very first bowl of cereal! Woo Hoo! From the looks of it, it is no chocolate cake- but all in good time.

Now, if you'll excuse me...I have a lot of bouncing to do!

This is so fun!

I have two bottom teeth AND a little brother!!!

Life is good.
