Simon Smiling

Caught a quick video of Simon smiling today. Its not high quality filmed with a cell phone. Cute nonetheless.

Shirtless Simon

Such a cute boy. The 2nd photo is exactly what he looks like to us, so hard to catch it in a photo.

Life with Simon

I know all anyone cares to see is pictures (especially for all our family and friends that lives far away), but I thought I'd give an update of the past two weeks. Its been crazy! I'm just starting to feel like I'm waking up from a fog. The past two weeks have been a blur. Simon is the greatest blessing in our life, but has completely turned our lives upside down. Andrew and I have been so lucky to have my parents here to help us out since Simon was born (especially my mom!). My mom has been great and has cooked dinner for us, cleaned our apt, done laundry, watched Simon in the middle of the night and basically has taken care of our every need. She leaves Sunday night and although I know I can handle things without her (cause she has taught me well), I don't want to.

We have had fun and have ran some errands, gone out for lunch and visited with family over the past two weeks. Its nice having so much of Andrew's family close by (our apartment can get small after being cooped up day after day). Its been really hot so we haven't been able to spend as much time outside as I would've liked. Simon is great in the car so taking drives in the middle of the hot day has been a great way to get out.

Life has been hard but worth it. Simon seems to think its a good idea to have his "fussy period" during the hours of 11pm and 3am (although last night it started a little earlier and only lasted until 1!). He also got thrush at only a few days old and he's been fighting it ever since; hopefully it clears up soon.

Overall though we've been lazily adjusting to our new life. Thanks to all those who have stopped by and called to check in. I promise many more updates and pictures to come. Maybe now I'll finally start blogging more than a few times a year. Hopefully.

Nap Time

Awake and Asleep

Here is Simon, awake and asleep. If only he was asleep longer at NIGHT.
