Simon has had a big month in February. First he started a new daycare in our neighborhood and got a fun graduation poster from Toddler Town where he has been going since he was 2 months old. We were sad to leave friends, but excited to be in a program right down the block from our house! He has adjusted well despite dealing with other growing pains this month. Simon has been getting teeth, like crazy. It seems that before this month the last tooth that broke through was 8 months ago. This month he has started getting teeth all over his mouth uppers and lowers, and
strangely not right next to the teeth he already has, mostly he is getting molars, way back in his mouth. It has been hard to watch him and now that he is getting better at communicating he tells us
owie about 20 times a day which nearly breaks your heart. The Pacifier has been helpful in getting through this painful time as he seems to like to chew on it, pull it
through his teeth or anything else that might help relieve the pain. On another front, his vocabulary is rapidly growing, we think in part because of the new daycare, and his age, but I would estimate his word count is between 40-50 now, he has started saying his ABC's and has even started putting 2 word phrases together. It is a lot of fun to be able to talk with him and witness him growing.
BIG TRUCKS was the phrase we heard all morning, as we prepared Simon for the annual Mountain Munchkins Touch A Truck Fundraiser, and pretty much the entire time we walked around the event. Simon loved being able to touch, sit in the driver seat, and pretend to drive all of the fun vehicles.

Silly Simon likes books. He did great at the 18 month doctor check up and is a lot of fun (and work) every day. We are getting close to spring, the days are getting longer and Simon enjoys being outside splashing around in the gutter puddles and talking to the birds!
