We spent the first day of the new year hanging around the house and relaxing. Simon enjoyed his favorite Christmas present, his new swing...it may actually be Mom and Dad's favorite present, but he seems to like it too.
We have also started using a few of our other great Christmas presents. The new high chair, thanks to Mimi and Papa, and the feeding bowls and utensils, thanks to Steph, Skip, Heidi and Jeff. Simon has seemed still hungry after our last feeding of the evening, before he goes to bed so we decided that a snack after his last nap might help. We started feeding him some rice cereal, very thinned down, along with a bit of milk to help wash it down. He is doing really well grasping the concept of eating from the spoon. Last night, the first night we tried this, he was opening his mouth very well for the spoon, and seemed to be moving some of the food to the back of his mouth with his tongue. Of course a lot of the food ran down his chin, but I was happy with the amount that seemed to stay in the mouth. Tonight he did even better! We have such a quick learner. It has seemed to help with the last feeding as well, as he appears full and not cranky for more food when I put him down for bed. Good Boy Simon! Hope you all had a good New Year's Eve.

We are so proud of you, Simon. Hope you don't end up spitting that food out on mom and dad, ever! We loved seeing you today. We told Zach all about you. Em and Cal want to "watch" you soon.
