I was keeping a list of all the words that Simon says, up through the beginning of January. I had to stop because he began picking up words so rapidly that the list would get out of control.

Since then, his words have probably doubled, including a bunch more names (Jack, Carol, Maria, kids from school). He also started playing copycat, imitating new words even if he doesn’t know what they mean. I wanted to keep the list just of words where he knew the meanings.

Happy Birthday Simon!

Here we’re admiring the cake, getting ready to blow out the candle and start making a mess.

Blowing out candles can be a lot of work.

And now we can get to the eating. Another blue face, but nowhere near as big a mess as last year.

After the mess is cleaned up, time for prizes.

Don’t bother me, playing.

Anna was sad the she couldn’t have any cake.

These pictures are from a month or so ago, dad’s just been lazy about scanning and posting them up. The photographer came by my swim class and took some pretty pictures. Guess who loves to smile underwater?

Since I like the water so much, they decided to let me start swimming lessons. There’s a lot of other kids there, but they’re not as excited about splashing as I am. They even let me dive totally in the water!

We went over for Easter at Abuelo and Abuela’s house today, and look what I found. Once you get them open, there’s lots of yummies in there. I didn’t really like the peeps, but all the rest was good.

Mama helped me collect all the eggs into my basket.

I also got to play with Enchie for a while. She lets me pet her and she runs around so I can chase her.
