A Rainy Afternoon

Simone spent a rainy afternoon with Harrison today. Harrison tried to teach Simone colors and the names of the animals on his bedroom rug. Simone smiled a lot, but she didn't get one answer correct! Keep trying Harrison.

Something new to do!

Simone is just discovering her thumb. On a recent car ride, she spent the entire time working hard to get that thumb in her mouth. As you can see, this is tough work for her.

Bath time fun

Simone loves bath time! Here she is in the tub and cozy in her Pooh Bear wrap following the bath. My, what curls you have little girl!

Hanging out around the house

Simone spent a rainy day dressed up like a duck! How else could she enjoy a day without a trip to the park? She is just learning to hold her favorite rattle from Linda, but she won't hold it for the camera yet. Her favorite place in the house is still her changing table. She spends a lot of time there, most of it laughing.

Ready for the river!

Check this out, Uncle Mike and Uncle Terry. Her very first river hat! Simone is already gearing up for her first annual trip to the Delaware River to become an official River Rat. The Carlton side of the family spends a few days each summer paddling down the river, bringing together uncles and cousins from six states. Simone won't be allowed to paddle until she can swim, but she hopes to join some of her new little cousins on the river's edge. Any takers?
