Hands Up! Who Likes Simon?

It’s a good thing someone does, because after getting totally overstimulated at his first Halloween party Simon is currently throwing what may be the most intense fit of his short little life. He’s adorable in his cute little Halloween outfit, though (pictured below about five minutes before total meltdown).

The Many Faces of Simon

Just found these pictures from Simon’s last day in the hospital. He’s a week-and-a-half older now and much less yellow, but I thought they were pretty funny and I wanted to post them. Looks a little like Winston Churchill in the rightmost one, doesn’t he? We shall fight on the beaches…we shall nevah surrendah!

A Neonate No More

Simon is two weeks old today. He marked the occasion by losing his cord stump last night, exposing a very cute little belly button in the middle of his equally cute belly. While this will make changing and bathing Simon much easier, I find myself bittersweet about the event because I sense that time is […]

Mom Finally Gets a Photo

From all the recent photos of me and Simon together, you might be tempted to think that I’m the one doing all the work around here. Yeah, right! It’s just that most of Jessica’s time with Simon involves a certain amount of nudity. So today, I’m determined to get some good (non-nude) photos of Simon […]

The Phenomenon with No Name

Matt and I are considering offering a cash reward for anyone who can name the phenomenon I am about to describe. I’ve tried Googling and have come up blank, and the book What to Expect the First Year has no mention of what we’ve experienced. (The book covers just about everything else with an authoritative […]

Simon: I’m Adorable!

In response to the many requests for more photos of Simon, Jessica and I are trying to be a bit less shy with the camera. Simon’s also starting to look a bit less, um, “fresh outta the womb” and growing more baby-like every day.

An Ode to OxiClean and Dreft

Matt and I have now had Simon home for five full days, during which time–despite warnings from friends, siblings, and parents–we have been shocked by the amount of biological waste that our little one emits on a regular basis. As Simon is a boy, we’ve endured several requisite episodes wherein the little darling pishes on […]

Simon Gets a New Third Cousin

Congratulations to my cousin Chuck and his wife Heather on the birth of their new son, Benton Ford, today. I’ve congratulated a lot of my friends on the arrival of their children in the past year, but this is the first congratulations I’ve sent as a dad myself. Kind makes me all sappy, ya know? […]

Today was Simon’s first trip to the doctor since, well, since Friday when he was released from the hospital. Kiddo went two full days without costing my health insurance plan a bundle. Thanks United! Please don’t drop me for being too expensive… Thank goodness, today’s trip was a simple new baby check-in with his pediatrician, […]

Happy 1 Week!

In about two hours, Simon will officially be one week old. In honor of this, Simon decided to keep us up almost all night last night. We’re fried, but we have to take him to his first appointment at the pediatrician (same one I went to thirty-some-odd years ago) this afternoon. There’s a Heine Bros. […]
