Snakes alive!

Our library had a program with the local herpetologist club to visit and touch reptiles. There were mostly snakes, but a few other reptiles were there as well. We weren't sure how Simon would do with the snakes, but he loved them. He kept "hugging" this snake, but we didn't get a good picture of the hugging.



The tortoise was his favorite. We put him up on the table to look at it and he just laid down and watched it for a while.



He didn't really now what to think about the bearded dragon, but he did a great job holding it. Yes that is a barrette in his hair. I wore a barrette one day and Simon decided he needed to wear one as well. It didn't seem worth a fight to tell him that boys don't wear barrettes, plus it looks really cute.


This is Simon saying "cheese" for the camera.


This is a few weeks old and I'm definitely bigger now, but you get the point. We've been really busy lately getting our house ready for an appraisal we had done yesterday, painting Simon's new room and getting everything ready for the new baby. I'm on maternity leave now (sort of, I was at school yesterday and today) so I'm getting lots of stuff done for the baby. Only a little over a week until my due date!


Abuela Bobi got Simon some great place mats that are maps of the US. Simon now knows where lots of people live, including Elvis. Here he shows us where his uncles and aunt live.

He's cute. We never fight over the boy/girl stuff either.
Is new baby a boy or girl?
