I Big

Simone got her first real hair cut this past weekend and suddenly she looks so much older. She did so good that I got her a strawberry smoothie and some new shoes to celebrate afterwards. (It got me a little excited about shopping trips "us girls" will be having in the future).


Simone really seems to be growing by leaps and bounds over the last few weeks. She completely understands everything we say to her (whether she listens or not is variable). She is really good at saying "Hi" and "Bye", love blowing kisses and is mimacking everything we say. She's discovered belly buttons (did you know everyone has one?!?) and adores babies. She loves to gives kisses (some venturing into the akward I-feel-like-I'm-making-out zone) and hugs. She wants to walk everywhere and strollers are almost strictly for pushing at this point. She loves her new pool in the backyard and wants to go in whether she's fully clothed or not.

Mimi and Papa have been here and it's been fun to have them have the opportunity to really bond with Simone in a new way since she's so much more fun and aware and interactive, more so I think then she's been with any of their other visits. We watched the Starlight parade this past weekend and Mimi definitely found her new parade partner, Simone lovveed it! We'll be watching the Grand Floral parade this upcoming weekend I'm sure.



Summer is off to a great start for sure!
