Word to Your Mother(s)
Laurie and I took Simon on his first two-night trek away from home on this Mother's Day weekend. Not only that, but the little guy did the double-overnighter with infections in both ears. He was a trooper. He is doing better now--just a few brief screams here and there with some ear-tugging, but they pass pretty quickly.
This big weekend saw:
Friday
--Mom get her hair cut short
--a power outage during packing for the trip (Ever try wrapping presents in the dark?)
--a late arrival and excellent ravioli dinner with Nana B. and Granddaddy
Saturday
--Simon's first carrots (LOVES 'em!)
--visits to Great-Papa Kenneth and Granny Great
--lunch at El Mazatlan
--drive up to Breck County
--dinner with PaPa, Yaya, Uncle Dooney, Aunt Nikki, and Great-Papaw and Great-Mamaw Basham
Sunday
--Simon's first trip to Custer First Church of God
--lunch with most of the Preston family (25+ folks) at Great-Mamaw Preston's house
--meeting Abby face to face (PaPa and YaYa's dog)
--lots of near-rolling over
It was an eventful weekend. Pics:
Nana B. holds Simon while mom introduces the carrots.
Simon hangin' out with Granny-Great.
Simon with newborn cousin Aaden Tucker. I know, Simon looks like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. But, Aaden is a little guy: 5 lb, 9 oz, when he left the hospital. Simon is likely pushing 17 lbs these days.
Simon and YaYa after a marathon session of trying to get Simon to roll over. He almost did it a few times, and he got even closer tonight at home. Soon...
This summarized the weekend. LOTS of fun, but mom and Simon were worn out on Sunday afternoon.

I love the hairdo, Laurie!! You're a cute mom for a cute boy!! :)
That sleepy-time picture is precious!
We need a picture of the new 'do, Laurie!
I love Simon's bear outfit! ;)
How does he manage to keep getting cuter??
I seriously thought that other baby was a doll, given his size. I thought, "what a strange facial expression to fashion for a doll."
Luckily Simon's not eating many solids yet or that other baby would have been consumed.
Glad he's getting over the ear infection.
Oh, just give little Cousin Aaden some time. He'll be holding his own in just a few months.
I don't know about Simon, but YaYa had a few sore arm muscles from teasing Simon with the rattle in our attempt to get him to roll over! I love the "sleepytime" picture.
great pictures :)
Laurie your new do is beautiful :)
