Not as little as he used to be

I recently took Simon's old Bumbo chair out of the closet for an afternoon while looking for something else, he managed to wedge himself into it. Then he got stuck. I dug up a pic from this time last year, our little dude is getting so big!

Starting "school"

Last week was Simon's first week of part-time daycare, with his friend and neighbor Abby and his trusty towel for security. He went 3 days last week, the pictures they sent us tell the story.

Anger

Acceptance

Cautious Optimism

Oh Joy!

15 months and feeling good...

That's the SWEAT... of the Blues Explosion!

Simon had his 15 month checkup yesterday, apparently the shots he had to get weren't bothering him none last night as he rocked out with his newest dance move, the "sprinkler".

The best milestone he has reached is the silliness he has now. He loves clowning around for us and performing. Here he is doing some of that, and trying out one of his new words, "hi!".



So far it's just that and "uh-oh" for speech, but he is using 5 signs on a regular basis, so he's communicating pretty well. He'll have a full evaluation by a Speech Language Pathologist as part of his cleft team well visit next month, but so far so good.
