New Stroller!

My life just got simpler!  Simon does not like his car seat, but loves to go on walks (if he can look around).  Now that he can ride in his big kid stroller I don't have to hold him or carry him in the baby bjorn when we go on walks.  Also, this stroller is so light and small making quick trips to the grocery store that much easier.  Can't wait to go more places with my big boy!  (now if we could just use the jogging stroller without the car seat, almost!)  

Baby aerobics!

This is Simon every morning when he wakes up (and the majority of the time when he's laying on the floor). 

I knew when I was pregnant that he was one active boy 

(sorry the video is kinda long and may be boring to watch the whole thing)

Go Cougars!

Ready for the game.

More phone pics

I really need to upload all the pictures off our real camera (like pics from Simon's blessing last Sunday), but until then here are a few more camera phone pics. 

He is obsessed with his tongue.

If you notice his arms and legs are blurry.  This kid never stops moving...ever.

Every morning Simon and I go running.  He usually stares at me weird before eventually falling asleep.  He LOVES to be outside tho.  If he's ever fussy, I walk outside with him and he's instantly calm.  He will try and look at everything, regardless if the sun get into his eyes.

HAHA! So a friend in my ward brought over this costume yesterday.  Her son wore it last year and she didn't want it to go to waste.  I tried it on Simon today just for fun and almost died laughing.  I hope it still fits in a month and a half (it fits perfectly right now, so I dunno).

Phone Pictures

I'm really bad at getting out the camera to take pictures so its a good thing my camera takes half decent shots (at least when Simon isn't moving, then they are a bit blurry).  Here are some pictures I've taken over the last month (not nearly as great as the ones Andrew gets with our nice camera, I need to start using it more).

With Aunt Jessica

The first time Simon smiled at me (not just because he was sleeping or had gas)! 

At nama's (my mom) house.  She could always get Simon to smile.

At the beach!  This wasn't Simon's first time, but it was the first time he actually enjoyed being there.  Next year he's going to love it and I can't wait!

2 Months

Height: 21.5 inches (5th percentile...he needs to grow!)

Weight: 10lbs 8oz. (25th percentile, he went up from 12th)

Head: 40.5cm (70th percentile....we have a bobble-head baby)

We have had an eventful summer with a few trips thrown in.  I will have to post pictures soon (but they are all on Andrew's computer and he usually has it with him all day).  We just got back from spending a week and a half in California and it was a blast.  It was great having my parents help with Simon and oh so nice to get outdoors (we've been stuck inside most of the summer because Utah is just too hot for Simon).  Every time I go home to California I realize how much I miss it.  It was great to see family and all our friends.  Simon got to enjoy some great play dates at the pool and beach (although he slept most of the time).  I hope we move back one day!

Simon is getting bigger.

He is growing fast, should be 10 lbs. in no time.

Happy Birthday Jamie !

Happy birthday babe. Simon is the best gift, (even if he came over a month ago). I tried to convince you to get married on your birthday but you weren't a fan of that idea, (two birds with one stone in my mind) our 4 year anniversary will be Thursday. Hard to believe we've been married that long, and I've know you for over 5 years. Happy birthday, I hope you have a great day. Below is the giant slip & slide from a recent family reunion. The thing went down a huge hill and was at least 75 yards long.

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.
