Simon is 6 months and other news

Well, ok, fair enough. Simon was 6 months on the 19th and that is some time ago. In my defense, I have been busy.  Mainly, we have been busy with Evie starting her new school.  She is now a Duchesne girl.  After a slightly clingy start when Nana first dropped her off for "orientation" Evie is now a very enthusiastic participant in all that Duchesne has to offer.  One of her favorite things is singing the "rather happy-clappy considering it is a Catholic school " songs that they learned for Mass. She treated us all with multiple renditions of "alleluia" this past weekend.  All that aside, we are mightily relieved that we appear to have chosen the right school for her. Evie even likes the after school program. This week she started the additional programs that we have paid for - yoga and gymnastics.  She seems to like it all so YIPPEE!! We are less keen on the "car pool" pick up line which is ghastly and makes me feel that I should park my Buick around the corner as it doesn't fit in the line of Lexus and Mercedes SUVs.  It also takes forever which is not to fabulous in the Houston summer.  Nana and I did notice, however, that one may purchase the "first in line" position in the lane should one feel the need to part with what I am speculating to be an enormous amount of money.  Nice as that might be, I think I will buy shoes (or after school activities) instead.

 

And sweet Simon ....six months and full of cuteness.  He weighed in at 16lbs 2.5oz at his appointment but has since blown past the 17lb mark. His slightly slender statistic at the doctor's was probably due to the stomach flu sweeping its way through the Campbell household that particular week. He is 26 inches long. Interestingly, this is almost exactly the same size that Evie was at the same age.  Simon still LOVES his food. He prefers it to have a chunky texture (hates puree) but otherwise is not in the least bit fussy.  Thanks to the organic food revolution that has happened in the time between Evie's arrival (when the organic section was one small basket) and now, there is seemingly no limit to the peculiar taste combos Simon can try.  His favorite so far, if I had to pick, was blueberry, parsnip with buckwheat.  I actually tried this because it sounded vile and I will confess that I'm on Simon's side with this one - TASTY. Anyway, in sum, Simon likes food.  He also likes to talk (Dada, Isla), smile (at everyone, but especially Evie) and cuddle. Emphasis on the latter. He is also getting really close to crawling. I don't think it will be long. This makes me a little sad as it means my baby boy love is not so much a baby boy any more.

 

I know you really want photos. I will put some in a separate post. I promise
