Getting so big

If we are in the kitchen cooking something Symeon wants to know what is happening. As long as he can see he is fine so today we decided to pull up a chair and let him stand which was easier on both our backs. He just stood there watching and eating his apple it was so sweet.

As you can see he has become a pack rat when it comes to storing food in his cheeks.



Helping Daddy with his breakfast sandwich and Mommy with her crepes.


He stirred and mixed and copied just about everything I did. It was such a great morning together.


Another milestone in a small guys life is his first ice cream cone. Well it was a nice day yesterday and the first nice day usually sends me running to one of my favorite ice cream places. So we did not get Symeon his own cone but he ate off of Shawn's which was quite a treat since he gets little or no sugar hardly ever. He loved it and although we forgot our camera here is what he looked like when he got home.

We found sprinkles stuck to his shirt and of course since there was ice cream on his hands and a dirt play area to say his hands were dirty was an understatment. Here he is trying to figure out what is all over him. I am beginning to realize that for most of the summer Symeon will be very dirty but gosh will he have fun!!! After this experience I put a package of wipes in the car so we are prepared for all his adventures this summer.
