Simon

I was looking back through my journal and realized i hadn't written about simon lately. 17 months at the end of january and he is big - almost as big as penny. a few weeks ago i bought them both vans. 5.5 for simon and a 6 for penny.

right now all he wants to do is climb and lean. from the benches in the kitchen nook to the counter. toilet to the sink, benches to the bookshelf cubbies on the other side of the kitchen table. its all crazy and dangerous. he is a good boy.

he has lots and LOTS of words right now.

MINE is the funniest one.

he says WHAT when someone calls his name

STUCK when he can't do something.

so many more. i'll have to write down and i remember them. BATH, BOTTLE. really trying to communicate. he is a funny kid.

He LOVES to sing. all the maggy haves songs are his favorite. he loves doing hand motions.
