Rainy Days

It's been cold and rainy for nearly a week. Simon's got a mild cold, just a runny nose so far, but he still wants to run around and dance. He also wants to spend a lot of time outside. Yesterday it rained fairly steadily throughout the day, so he didn't get to go outside much. At 9:30 in the evening Simon walked over to his Baby Bjorn carrier which was in a heap at the foot of the couch. He picked it up by one of the straps and held onto to me with his other hand. He walked me to the front door and tapped the carrier against it. He looked up at me with hopeful eyes. He wanted to go for a walk in his carrier. It was so sweet and so sad. It was super cold out, so I had to say no.

Simon's newest word is "car," or as he says, "gah." When do babies start putting the ends on words? Simon's main words:

Moh (more)
Bah (ball)
Dah (dog)
Duh (duck)
Gah (car)
Moo (moon)
Bah bah (bye-bye)
Bee bee (belly button)
No
Dada
Mama
Baby

He says other words now and then--like "mow" (mouse)--but these are the ones he uses the most.

The sun is starting to come out. Maybe it'll be warm enough (and dry enough) for Simon to play outside.

At there own pace I suppose :)
Max just started saying "Baoool" for ball instead of Bah.

Max says More, and bye-bye just like Simon. He won't say the names of animals yet, just the sounds they make.

I love how Simon says belly button ;)
