birthday photo shoot

Simon turned ONE on April 17! He is a happy, busy boy and keeps everyone around here smiling and laughing constantly. He took his first real steps right around his birthday and is now cruising around everywhere, trying to keep up with himself. He still puts everything in his mouth (including a frog his siblings handed him the other day) and makes messes everywhere he goes. He prefers to be outside and learned very quickly how to climb up the ladder to the trampoline. He loves to play catch with any sort of ball, play in the water, and try to do anything the big kids are doing. I'm pretty lucky to spend my days with this little cutie.
