The Baby Swing

Okay, so with me being at home so much and Cortney working, I asked Cort to teach me the basics to "blogging." This is my first go at it, so hopefully all will go well.

During the last week or so, Simon had some visitors -- Nana B and Grandaddy, Uncle David and Kelly, and YaYa. He also experienced his first Valentine's Day and had his first ride in the Snugli carrier. He continues to be playful in the mornings -- we've gotten a smile or two from him during those times. He's also started talking to us. It is so fun to hear him cooing, whether it be during playtime or in the middle of the night!

The most remarkable thing that's happened this past week is that we have discovered the beauty of a baby swing, thanks to our friends Brice, Julie, and Grace Boyer. They have graciously let us borrow their swing to see if Simon would even like it. And like it he does! No matter how fussy he is, once he's in the swing, he is as happy as he can be. Thank you, Boyer family!
