Well before Simon is 10 months old and I'm officially way behind schedule, I thought I'd add a new post. Time is FLYING by this year. Somehow we have made it to December 11. Madness. After about three cold days in Houston we are back to mild weather. The picture below was taken on a cold day. Simon has a snowman on his head. Evie is just silly.
Nice pink cup!
Evie has a lot of new friends at Duchesne and has been invited to many play dates. We went to Maddie's house a few weeks ago and Evie drew this on the chalk board. I think it is a self portrait.
We also went to the mother daughter luncheon at the Royal Sonesta. This was quite the "do". The lunch was rubbish for the huge cost but the experience was fun. There were probably 500 or more people there in a the big ballroom. The seniors and two girls from each other grade did a fashion show on a HUGE catwalk. Evie was mesmerized by the whole thing and wants to be in it next year! They draw lots for participation so I guess we need to cross our fingers.
Simon is still my cuddly boy. Evie liked to get attention but had nothing on this one. He still likes just to eat and cuddle. He has also started quivering with excitement if he thinks it is time for either a cuddle or dinner! It is very cute. I think I'm his favorite person but that is probably because I am still associated with food.
8 and 9 month pictures!! Despite not having much to report of the movement front, the doctor was very pleased with Si at his 9 month appointment. Doc says he has excellent fine motor skills and speech. Si says "Mama" "Dada" "up" "that" "yes" and "Nana". we are also pretty sure he said "Grandad" while my Daddy was here. Good boy. He's definitely chatty and thinks he's having conversations with me when we drive to school.
This week Simon has FINALLY started pulling up and can sit himself up. We realize this is nothing all that special for his age but we are glad he is finally making an effort! He still hasn't done it for us but school assures us he has done each more than once.
Yum. Food. Simon's favorite place to be!!
Snazzy pink jumper!
Not sure I have too much else to add. We had a really nice Thanksgiving. Simon was very good in the car and Evie sang lots of songs to us, mainly about Hallelujah. She is also practicing for the Christmas program at school which takes place next week. She has claimed to be performing as a sheep but school sent home a message asking us to dress them in sparkly dresses so I suspect she is having us on! I will try to post photos from that after the main event.
Until next time...
