6 month Check In

Simon went in for his 6 month check up last week. He is a head turner wherever we go...Simon has a way of charming everyone that sees his sweet face. Strangers will stop to say "hi' or to comment on his yummy cheeks. A few weeks back, our family went to a local restaurant for dinner. Simon and I left the table after dinner and left Rob to pay the check. By the time Rob came to meet us in the lobby, 2 ladies knew Simon by name and as we left, they were waving and saying "Goodbye, Simon...It was nice to meet you!" Who cares about his mom or his dad. It's all about Simon.
The doctor's office was no exception. Simon made some new friends, including some patients and some doctors and nurses that day.

Oh yeah, his visit went great. Simon is doing wonderful!
6 month stats: 16 lbs 2 oz, 25 inches tall.

P.S. Simon is continuing to do better with his sleep! He woke up just a couple of times last night, but went right back to sleep! Gooooooooooooo Simon!

To Sleep or Not to Sleep...That is the question

We decided that a three day weekend was as good a time as any to help Simon learn to sleep. He has always done a good job, but in the last few weeks, he's had a bit of a hard time. These days, he will usually take two 30 minute naps a day. This would be great for any adult, but for this little man who is growing so quickly, it's really not enough. We know this because he gets a little fussy and Simon is usually a really chill guy. The poor kid wants so much to NOT miss a thing, that he has a hard time going down for a nap, or to bed for the night for that matter.

We began on Friday night and are continuing our quest to help this little guy get better sleep. So far, so good. You can do it, Simon!
