Simon's First Birthday!

Party with Friends

Monday, March 22, 2010

We held it at the church building, because our apartment is too small for the number of people we wanted to invite, and our community center was booked.

Simon's first birthday cake was carrot with cream cheese frosting.

Party with Family

Date of his birth! Tuesday, March 23, 2010


He was happy to have more cake.

Sharing with Mommy.

Excited about his card.

Putting his teeth to good use.

"Wow! All the way from Washington?!"

Thanks everyone for all the phone calls, cards, e-cards, and gifts!

Simon loved his birthday!

Basket Case

Sometimes it's difficult to decide which picture in a sequence is the best for display. Let us know which one of the basket pics you like the best?

#1 - Cute with a half-smile

#2 - Gleeful with a big smile

#3 - Symmetrically surprised face

#4 - Sheepish look

#5 - Yar, matey!

This is from early December when Simon started chewing on his top crib rail.

He's actually pretty upset in this picture, though it looks like he's laughing.

Here's the close-up that reveals the crumbs of finish on his face and shirt. We had to make him sleep in his Pak-n-Play after this until we were able to get a cover for his crib rail. This is not his most flattering moment.

Simon is still working on harnessing the power of the Vulcan mind meld. Daddy doesn't mind playing along.

Of course he's happy, he just claimed the inside corner of the couch for himself!
