Simon is one month old!

Time has gone WAAAAY too fast!

Here is little boy on his one month day. He was a right pickle all morning long and would not pose for any nice photos so this was as good as I could get. Monster. He looks like he's thinking very hard about messing up Mummy's photo ideas!

 

The rest of the photos are just a selection from the last month. In no particular order!

Still just a little boy in this one. He's since grown out of this outfit. A sad moment for Mummy and Daddy when we put away the newborn clothes.

 

 Purely to show the red hair. It is magnificent.

Hanging out in his boppy which is inevitably covered in elephants.  I don't think Simon was so sure that the boppy is such a good thing. I think he will get used to is. In fact, he will have to get used to it as Mummy has things to be getting on with!

 Evie silliness. She's snuggling up to Daddy in La Madeleine. I don't want Evie to feel left out if she ever goes back and reads this blog. So here she is on a horsey at Memorial City Mall. Lots of fun.

 Totally out of order as promised . . . This one is from the NNGH Ladies Lunch at Royal Oaks Country club on Simon's one month day. He looks nice and peaceful which he was NOT for most of the event.  He had to be removed during the Scottish Country dancing for screaming too loudly. 

 And cuddling Daddy also on his month day.

Showing his personality on these two.  He was actually mid conversation with Auntie Christine and I finally managed to get some good shots of him. Common belief is that Simon sleeps ALL the time. This proves that occasionally he shows us his pretty blue eyes.

 Another one where is his just a little boy. We love this outfit too bit it is also too small now :-( sniff sniff.

 

Wearing some cute clothes that Auntie Jana bought. She has excellent taste.

 And finally, one more from his month day.  He looks like he might be conducting Shostakovich in his dreams. Probably his 5th symphony.  Even if he's not quite that advanced yet, it is still cute.

So, what has baby boy been up to? Last time we weighted him he was 9lbs 5oz which is exactly 2 pounds over his birth weight. Well done chunky.  He likes to watch you which you talk to him, and is especially fascinated by singing.  He eats a LOT and honestly, could poo for England and the US combined. We can barely keep up with his pooing. He does, however, allow us (usually - touch wood) to sleep fairly well at night as he will sleep (generally) 3-4 hours between feeds and a couple of times has done 5 hours.  Now that I have expressed that in writing he will be up every hour tonight . .  .
Simon spends a lot more time awake now and is enjoying his bouncer - especially the toys on it that he can grab at. Simon is very cuddly and pukes way less than his sister so far thank goodness.  He is an expert at weeing and pooing on his parents.

And what's going on with Evie? Sweet girl got into Duchesne Academy and will start there in August. We are really chuffed with her as it is a very competitive entry and she must have done very well on her interview and play date.  I can't wait to see her in her cute school uniform.  She is also doing very well with her writing - her favorite thing to write is a food shopping list. Perhaps she's trying to tell us something?

That's it for now. I will try to be better about posting more photos of the babies!!
