Swim Buddies

Simon and I got to go swimming two days in a row! Well, by swimming I mean I sat in the inflatable pool while Simon splashed and played. Yesterday our friend Ashley came to swim and today Becky and Marley came. I didn't have the camera out while we were in the pool, but I did take some Si and Marley post swim pics:

The boys in their trunks

Marley knows exactly what to do when there's a camera out.

One of Simon's favorite things is climbing under furniture.

Oh, that Marley!

Whatever Marley was into became instantly appealing to Simon.

And whatever Simon was into became instantly appealing to Marley.

Right now Simon likes to share. Hopefully he still likes sharing when Lil' Brudder comes along... in about a month!

Pics from our KY Trips

Finally, what you've been waiting for- pictures (of Simon) from our recent Kentucky trips!

These are from when Simon & I spent almost a week at my parents' house:

This is how Simon plays:

Simon's First Haircut

We said that whenever Simon gets mistaken for a girl, it's time to cut his hair. Recently a waitress called him a "she" so today we cut his hair.

Edited by Chase, here is Simon's First Haircut- The Video:

Corn

The grossest thing just about happened...

This morning Simon had the rolly polly poops. Recently he ate some corn. When I came back from throwing the dirty diaper away and washing my hands, I saw Simon pick something up off the floor and bring it towards his wide-open mouth...

I quickly snatched it from his hand and saw that my suspicions were correct: a piece of predigested corn had escaped from the dirty diaper, had rolled onto the floor and was about to be digested again by one curious baby. To Simon's dismay, I got rid of the poopy corn and then cleaned both his hands and mine.

Beware of the rolly polly poops.

We're Alive... and Even Hit A Milestone!

I haven't updated in quite some time! We've had a lot going on. Simon & I spent almost a week in Kentucky with my parents and sister while Chase was volunteering at a youth camp. We've gone to weddings, weddings and more weddings. Chase is now officially an ordained minister. Lil' Brudder is developing right on track with less than 8 weeks to go!

Oh, and this:

Awesome, right? I've got a bunch of pictures to put up. Hopefully I can get some up this week.
