OK, Dec. 25 to Jan. 25 is a pretty boring time of year. After Christmas is over and your football team doesn't go to a bowl game, there's not much keeping you going. It's the doldrums of winter when you're stuck inside places like Jungle Java and, God forbid, Chuck E. Cheese! But, for Simon, this month was the month he pretty much decided being upright was the new and cool way to go! Although he has been standing and cruising a lot, his primary way around was still crawling. Well, he now is standing on his own - for the first time at my parents' hardwood floor on Saturday, Jan. 9 - and I can tell he's thinking about taking steps. We're in trouble!
Also, this month, I made wear the hell out of this hat!
