Mothers Day 2010

Tulip Time 2010

TWO visits in a row from Tia Megs

19 months and HAPPY!

Not much to post, just this cute pic of Simon. 19 months old and full of energy and spunk! Talks all the time and love to play outside, epscially with bubbles! 31 weeks down, 9 to go, getting uncomfortable. This one move A LOT more than Simon ever did!

Simon got another hair cut today! This time we went really short! I already miss his crazy hair, but I know it will grow back fast. And with all the playing in the sand box, now that the weather is so nice, I just couldn't stand to dig sand out of his matted curls!

He is 18 months now! WOW! He LOVES LOVES LOVES being outside, it is the first this he says when you go to get him out of his crib in the morning. He would probably walk around out there with a stinky diaper and no breakfast if I let him! His Gra (grandpa Kruse) has been here a lot painting his big boy room, and he REALLY enjoys that.

Life is great! Oh, and baby 2 is kicking and poking and joining in the fun already!

While we are on food, here is a cute one of Simon and his cupcake! He LOVES to eat!!

Simon loves smoothies and had the mustache to prove it!

I am in East Lansing for the week and missing my baby like crazy. It is nice to have 'me' time, but I really wish I could give him a kiss goodnight! My dad was visiting this week and caught this picture of him. He just sent it to me tonight, and it made me smile and I had to share it! Thanks Dad, for the pick-me-up!

Baby book moment

Since I don't do the baby book thing, I thought I should put this on here, in hopes to preserve this memory!

Simon is using more and more words everyday, he even knows some animal sounds. When he 'reads' by himself, he makes the sounds of the animals he sees in the books, simply amazing to Benji and I! At 16 months, these are all his words:

ball
momma
dadda
nana
night night
annie
down

phone
hot
uh oh
eyes - points to eyes
nose - points to noes
mouth - points to mouth
ears - point to ears

Animal sounds

I think we got them all!
