Simons 1st Birthday

Simon Turned 1 Year Last Saturday. Thank you to all those that could come and for all the fun stuff you gave to Simon. We hope you had a good time. We left all his new toys on the floor this whole week for him to play with. It kind of drove me nuts to see the mess and not pick it up, but he had a blast. He would get so excited about them, but he couldn't decide which one to play with. He would drag them all around the house and so wherever I went he had a toy to play with. His big animal balloons deflated fast but he had fun trying to reach them and carry them around the house too. It has been fun to see him play hard. We brought over the popcorn machine from my office at the apartments for the big day and it is still here because Simon loves it so much!! We discovered his love for popcorn on his birthday. Apparently he went around to everyone begging for it. Now every day Georges pops some popcorn in the machine and Simon eats it, but mostly he just makes a mess all over the floor.

Now for the big news update. For a birthday gift we bought Simon a new shitzu puppy!! Yep, we have a new addition to the family. It is a boy. black and white. 11 weeks old. Georges named him Mickey. He is a little bit older, but mostly potty trained. Very sweet and well- mannered. He will follow us everywhere we go. After Simon wakes up in the morning we take three go out for a walk and Mickey stays by our side the whole time. Its in there nature, but he did it right from the start. It was a quick adjustment for him and for us. Last night he didn't whine at all before bed. It is like having two kids. (but a lot easier). No second baby for us for awhile. But at least Simon has a new friend at home. They are soooo cute together. Simon will egg him on. He crawls on the floor after Mickey until Mickey gets excited and attacks him. Simon will put his head to the floor to take cover and Mickey will lick and chew on his ears. It makes Simon giggle histerically.
