1st Christmas

We had a great first Christmas, enjoying guests to our home for the first time since we have lived in Telluride. Shane's Mom was here on Christmas and the rest of his family arrived today. We have a lot of fun events planned for thier time in T ride






Simon got a lot of great presents from all of the friends and fam>

just chillin

So this week I have been having a lot of down time, relaxing and trying to rest. I hear there are a bunch of people coming to my house and Mom keeps telling me to get ready! She has been busy all week cleaning the house. I've been taking it easy because I have a bit of a sniffly nose...we had to go meet this guy named Santa at the grocery store on Sunday and it was too cold out for me:( But i do like lounging all day in my PJ's

Yes folks he definitely takes after his parents and can be a bit of a couch potato. We noticed him starting to pay a bit too much attention to the TV lately (yes it is a bit hard to miss) so we have started to let him watch some of the Baby Einstein videos we have. I wonder what he thinks of a 24" tall bright yellow bear? He seems to like the bright colors and music though.

Cousins

Good Morning from Telluride. It is a wintery day here and I am really excited because I have a new cousin! Mom's little Brother Jeff and his wife Heidi had a baby boy Josiah Scott a few days ago. They are home from the hospital and doing well. I can't wait until I get to meet him in a few months

Below is a picture of the both of us the one on the right was taken when I was just a few days old...about the same age as Josiah is now.

Christmas is coming

This week I have become a baby super model...mom has been snapping the camera at me a lot! She said something about a card for Christmas, but I have no idea what that means, I just look at the camera and smile. I have been working on my trunk muscles a lot during tummy time and mom has started using my Boppy pillow to prop me up during tummy time, I like this because now I can really look around!





We got all the decorations set up this weekend and Simon seemed to like the lights.

Silly Smiley Simon

Hi there, tomorrow I will be 11 weeks old. I am getting better at some of the things I have been working on for a while like focusing on and swinging/grabbing at things hanging from my play yard. I am starting to do a lot of fun new things too.
Like staying home with Daddy on Fridays. This week I even took a few good naps for Daddy.
Mommy thinks I'm a real catch, I think that is pretty cool, and even funny. I like to show her my smile and even laugh a bit.
I've started holding onto my rattle, I even shake it sometimes.
I like to see what it tastes like too...Mommy says my taste buds will soon be the window to my world. Right now I like to put mostly just my hands in my mouth and sometimes the rattle.
I can put some weight on my legs, but I still like it when Mommy holds me. In addition to these things I still like taking naps in my bouncy seat and I have started to sleep in my crib at night! Mommy says she doesn't sleep as well when I am down in my room, but I sure seem to be sleeping well. That's all for now. Check me out next week when I am sure I will be doing more great things.

Hangin with Henry

The weather on Saturday was really nice in Telluride so we went for a walk to one of daddy's jobsites. That night we got to have Henry and his parents Ryan and Ashley over to repay them for the meal they invited us to a while back. We can't wait till Simon and Henry are old enough to sit on the floor and make faces at each other, but this will happen soon enough.

2 months

It was a big week for Simon. He had his 2 month check up where he weighed in at 10lbs. 12oz and measured a whopping 24 1/4" in length. he got a good report from the doctor, and had his first round of vaccinations. It is tough to watch your baby scream after the scare of his first shots:( Thursday was officially Mommy's first day back at work and Simon's first day of daycare. He did great at daycare, and I think he's going to like the interaction and change of environment for a few days a week. Then on Friday it was Daddy Day, and Shane stayed home with Simon while Mommy logged another day of work.

Sometimes all it takes for a good nap is a vibrating pink bouncy seat! We borrowed this one from our neighbor Melissa.
