The word is in, and that word is.......Mama!!! Yes, he finally said it today, Wednesday, Oct. 14th- looking right at me and grinning! He's been close before, and there were times I thought I heard it, but this time there was NO question. No better feeling in the world!
I just can't believe Simon will turn 1 on Saturday. This year has gone by so fast! He has been such an amazing blessing to our family. I really can't imagine life without him, and I love that I have been here to share every moment with him (for that I am forever grateful to my sweet, wonderful husband for working so hard so that I can care for our son).
Simon has brightened each minute of every day since he came into the world. Hannah and Sarah have discovered that they really ROCK at being big sisters, and Simon worships the ground they walk on. Dave turns into a soft, goofy puddle when his son greets him at the door each day - its the sweetest thing in the world to see. He is cruising the furniture now, but not quite ready to take those first real steps, though I'm sure they're coming soon. "Ba ba" is his word for just about everything, but occasionally says "Uh-oh". He does holler "Ma, ma, ma" when calling me from the crib!
I think I've captured on film just about every look, every smile, every step, and every laugh. I wanted to share them with you.
