One Year Old!!

What a big day! Simon is a big one year old boy! It's been a roller coaster of a year--in some ways I can't believe it's already been a year but in others it's hard to remember life before the little man joined us.

And this month has been one full of changes. As the previous post mentioned, he is communicating more and more with us. He is also doing fun things like clapping, and he loves joining in with "If you're happy and you know it...". He is a huge fan of peekaboo--when we say "Where's Simon?" he holds something up over his eyes and then pulls it down to peek at us, with a huge grin. And then he does it again...and again...and again :)

We spent his birthday home together having a quiet day, but of course we made him a delicious cake. It's the same one I had every year growing up--a butter cake with penuche frosting. It took him some getting used to, and then he was all in.




So, without further ado, here is Simon's 1 year old picture!!
