Day 182

Drooling Simon on our bed. The bed is a good place for him the practice crawling, it’s soft so he can push down on it and it is soft for when he falls.

Simon is biting his lower lip here and he seems like he might be starting to teeth. He was biting on Ron’s finger which we switched out with a teething toy and he kept on gnawing on it.

It’s amazing how much stronger Simon is just in a few days. Here he is pivoting on his knees. He also cries when he is frustrated and kind of struggles on his stomach. It is like he is hoping that by wriggling his arms and legs that he can propel himself forward on his stomach.

Simon went to bed early tonight and I was in a baking mood so I baked these chocolate chip oatmeal walnut cookies. The recipe is on the bag of Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chips. We bought this huge bag the last time we were at Costco so I thought I’d try to use some of them. The recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies. I only have one cookie sheet so it took me a while to bake up all the cookie dough. But they were yummy if I do say so myself. A bit crispy on the outside and edges, chewy and gooey on the inside.
