"Firsts" for Simon


We love watching Simon grow! He is repeating all kinds of words now, some in Spanish and some in English. He loves calling his friends ("Edy!" "Naza!"), asking for drinks ("agua" or "joos"), commenting on the animals ("wow wow" for dogs, "gato" for cats, and "pio pio" or "tweet" for birds), or pointing out airplanes ("eh-pain") or monsters ("montoos"). He likes to sing the World Cup song "Wave your Flag" and do the funky chicken. He picked out his own clothes for the first time.












He is starting to sit on his special chair (but hasn´t actually used it for its intended purpose yet).

He says "no" in the Nicaraguan style, accompanied by a finger shake.
He likes playing the guitar and piano with us (here he is playing with Uncle Peter).

He also has learned to do a fake smile for the camera. :)

How fun! He is growing up so fast! That's impressive that you are thinking about the potty already, it honestly hasn't crossed my mind yet, haha! I'm thinking only one at a time with that job :) You guys are doing a great job, hope to see you when we return to Nic.

Oh my gosh! I haven't seen Mr. Simon since Brie and Andrew's wedding. He's so big!! And cute! And I'm impressed by his bilingual vocabulary! :) Glad you all are doing well.
