what is wrong with this picture?

My grandfather always used to say that nobody learned geography anymore. I didn't think it would come to this....

(thank you, Maya, for pointing this out to me.)

Thank goodness Simon has a map in his room...let the education begin!

the usual evening conversation

Simon loves these pjs. or maybe Noel and I just love them.

In case you couldn't get a good look at them...

Noof: Simon, is Snugglestown in Virginia? I am just wondering, because there is an arrow on your shirt, and it makes me think it is nearby.

Noel: It is in between Crankyville and Happytown.

Noof: NO. You are wrong. It is near Stinkybuttville.

Noel: It is pointing east. It is near the coast.

Noof: Like close to VA beach?

Noel: Yea, probably.

Noof: Let's just say it's near Cutebabytown. or Babysarethebombville.

Noel: Alright. Whatever. (Walks off to make salad for dinner).

simon's new crib (not literally)

Simon has graduated to his very own nook of the living room. Due to our limited space, the play mat only goes to the letter P.

I figure once he learns the alphabet, we will rotate the other letters in.

It seems though that he would rather eat his fist than play with his toys anyways.

trendy baby

someone is sporting some new vans.

(i know, i know, we are working on his facial expressions...he has a perma shocked/deer in headlights look. I believe he is just shocked by how awesome his life is. )

he is actually going to skateboard to daycare today.

thanks corinne. simon has never been so trendy.

it's not over till it's over

My hair is falling out! Though I was warned about this symptom of pregnancy that occurs 3 MONTHS after giving birth, nothing could have prepared me for this. My prenatal vitamins have finally turned against me and can no longer provide me with that luscious pregnancy hair that I have gotten used to.

I have found hair in these places around the house:

1- in the dryer

2-in Simon's diaper

3- in our dinner (sorry. bet you don't want to come over anymore)

4- in the cd player

When Noel was complaining about having to clean up the hair that is currently ALL OVER the bathroom, I cleverly accused him of mistaking our hairs. Yes, short red hair can be confused with long black curly hair.

As my previous roommates know, I hate cleaning out the drain in the shower. (sorry Julia!) Sorry, Noel, it is going to be an ugly winter.

The good news is that this kid doesn't care ONE BIT.

Oh, and he can roll over. Boo ya.

and....let's not forget...

Happy Birthday, Noelpac! You are the bomb. Love, Noofpac and Simpac

Yes, Simon and I had a lot of fun with the camera this morning...I think I had WAY more fun than he did.

belated partying

Happy New Year!

Simon's new years resolution is to wear all the clothes in his closet, including his happy new year tux (thanks Marianne!) Good luck, Simon...
