Layin' Low

Hello everyone. I apologize for not dropping in sooner, but I've been a little under the weather so I don't have a whole lot to say. Mom has been keeping me home hoping that this "bug" will go away, but I think it bothers her more than me because I've been in a good mood...most of the time!

Since I've been home a lot, I have found some cool things. There are these things that I can stick in my mouth and my nose at the same time! I call them a great deal, Mom and Dad call them fingers. My voice is getting louder, which really get Mom and Dad's attention. We all laugh about it. I can also do this thing with my lips that make me sound like an elephant or a motor...I guess they are called raspberries?!?! My new findings have caused much drooling and another investment in a bagful of bibs.

That's about it for now. I will try to get some pictures next time.

Love to all,
Simon

New Arrival

Well, it's official...I have a cousin. His name is Aiden James (I hope I spelled his name right). He was born 9/11/09 at 6:30pm. He weighed 8lbs. 3oz. and 20 inches long. Aunt Jeni is doing well. She's tired, but I guess that's to be expected. Uncle Adrian is very happy that his boy is finally here.

I'm looking forward to meeting him and Mom says we are going to have lots of fun together, especially when we get bigger. So, for now I get to see pictures and I'm happy to share them.

I'll be sure to share more pictures when I get them.

Week of Firsts

I've had a busy week, but it has been fun! On Sunday Mom and Dad had people over for a Labor Day Weekend grill out, which was my first. I entertained people for awhile, then I decided to sleep.


Tuesday was the big day...first day at daycare. Mrs. Angie is my new babysitter and so far we get along pretty well. I wasn't ready for this picture, but Mom took it anyway!
I've also made more friends. Izzy is my size and she's nice. She shares the swing and saucer with me. I share with her too, but I don't enjoy sharing feeding time. However, this is something I'm dealing with. Now that I've been at daycare a couple days, I've also gotten my first runny nose. I guess this is one of the perks of being at daycare. It doesn't bother me as much as it bothers Mom. I keep getting my nose sucked, but as much as I don't enjoy that it does help me breathe better.

Speaking of Mom, it's her first week back to work. She's pretty clingy when I get home from Mrs. Angie's, but I deal with it for an hour or so, then I need to nap. She doesn't realize it's hard work smiling at Izzy all day! Oh, and play too!

Just when you think I'm out of "firsts", I've got one more. Tomorrow I will have my first cousin. Uncle Adrian and Aunt Jeni are going to the hospital tonight so Jeni can be induced (whatever that means). All I know is that I get a cousin out of the deal and I'm looking forward to seeing him.

I believe that's all for now.

Love to all,

Simon

Summer Fun

Hello family and friends! I'm Simon Leroy Kane and this is my blog. I arrived June 14, 2009, which was 9 days over my expected due date. My mom says that I took up a lot of room in her belly, but overall I was pretty good to her.

In the past 3 months I have met lots of people. Grandmas, Grandpas, Great-grandmas/grandpas, aunts/uncles, cousins...so many! I did meet a few friends that were my size, Cami and Leighton.

Leighton introduced me to an exesaucer, which I loved! I even got one of my own! I've got a few toys figured out. The animal sounds are a hit. I sound the cow and Mom and Dad start clapping at me...I didn't know they liked cows so much!!! In addition to meeting lots of people, I have been many places. I have traveled to Waterloo, WI and Milwaukee, WI. Mom and Dad say I'm a great traveler. I guess I take after my sister, Java, and sleep a lot. Lately, I've been enjoying my new mirror that plays music and has flashing lights. If I'm not traveling distances, I've been going to fairs around the area. Some fairs that I have been to are Lumberjack Days, Pierce County, and the Game Fair. Yesterday I went to the MN State Fair with Grandma Peggy, Mom, and Dad. There were many things to look at which is why I was able to stay awake for most of it. I did take a little nap when Mom and Grandma were looking at animals, otherwise I was told that I was a trooper. I was even awake and happy for a few pictures.




One last accomplishment I would like to share is with my puppy, Java. According to Mom and Dad, Java was hesitant to warm up to me when I first arrived. I guess I made too much noise, always had Mom and Dad's attention and did crazy things with my arms. Well, I'm happy to say that we are pretty good friends. Java cares about me when I cry and likes to give me kisses. She's a great "big sister" to have.

Well that's my last 3 months in a nutshell. Now I'm looking forward to meet my new cousin, who is due to arrive September 13th, and going to daycare. I think I'm more ready for daycare than Mommy is, which takes place next Tuesday. I'll let you know how that goes!!

Love to all,

Simon
