Where does the time go?


It has been so long since I've written that I almost forgot my password to update my blog! My Mom always says how "time flies by," which I didn't understand, but I think I'm starting to get it.

Now that the weather is warmer, I've been spending more time outside. I've learned to swing and I really like that! Great grandma Pat bought me my own swing so I don't always have to go to the park. Unfortunately, we don't have the 'perfect' tree to hang it on so Dad is getting something together. I've also spent some time in the grass, but I'm not sure what I think about that yet. I see that Java really enjoys running, rolling and laying in it, but I haven't reach her level of comfort quite yet.


Since the last time I wrote, I had my first Easter and Mother's Day. Easter was great. I found a couple baskets at Grandma Peggy's, which were full of fun toys. I also found eggs in all my favorite spots to get into at Grandma Peggy's. I still have a couple eggs around the house that I enjoy playing with. Mother's Day was fun. I had to keep Mom occupied in house while Dad put our present together outside, which were 2 bird feeders. She was surprised and really liked them. The birds are fun to watch in the morning.

I continue to baby-proof our house everyday. Did you know that the kitchen has many things to open and close? It's amazing! Unfortunately, I wasn't sneaky enough because shortly after I found these cupboards of fun, some white things were put on them and now I cannot get in. Don't worry, though...I found drawers!! One drawer is full of plastic bags, which I like to spread around the floor. Once I think I have them all out, Mom puts them all back in and I start over. It's a pretty fun game. I think Mom enjoys it as well because she's always saying, "At least your staying in 1 spot." I also help Mom with laundry. She puts down the basket and my job is to hand her the clothes to be folded or hung up. I think we've worked out a pretty good system. I try to help unload the dishwasher, but I keep getting taken away from that. I've also learned that "take the trash out" doesn't mean to pull items out of the garbage can...who knew? When it comes to washing windows, I think I have the faster method. Mom uses a spray bottle and paper towel, but I use my tongue...I guess that's my way of saving money.

I have completely mastered the skill of crawling and I have to say...I'm pretty good at it. I've started to walk around, but I'm usually pushing something or Mom and Dad are holding me. There have been times I have been brave and stood without hands, but I usually fall. I think I'm standing a little longer, but I like to hold onto something.

I'm finally over my ear infections, but I also got pink eye last month. I could tell Mom was not happy to be visiting the Dr. again, but we haven't had to go lately. I continue to eat really well and lately I've been sleeping through the night. Sleeping all night has felt good and I can tell it has helped Mom. She seems quicker at getting me ready in the morning!

Well, the next big thing coming is my birthday. To be completely honest with you...I do not know what this means. It must be something fun because that's all Mom and Dad can talk about. I will be sure to let you know how that turns out.

Love to all,

Simon
