I had my check up with the doctor this morning. I am 37 weeks today so there are only 3 weeks left. Not much news as of yet, but the past 2 visits they said I'm measuring a little small, but I'm carrying him pretty low so I'm not quite sure what all this means. I'm hoping I'm not going to be late and that the baby is just low and smaller and ready to come by June 1st. Only time will tell.
I still have a long to do list that needs to be done before the baby comes. I'm slowly making progress, but my little spurts of energy lately are better than the non-existent energy of the past several weeks! Now it's a race against the clock...

Sunglasses in the...SNOW!
On April 29th I turned around to find Simon had found my sunglasses! He has his own pair but doesn't get to wear them very often because he takes them off and plays with them too much. He looked too cute so I let him keep them on for a few pictures. Simon found these glasses in my purse at church 2 weeks ago and sadly, they no longer exist in one piece. Good thing they were only $5 Walmart glasses.
What a stud!
I'm pretty sure the sunglasses helped him watch the snow falling outside...I was not ready for snow on April 29th.

Easter
Simon didn't sleep well after a day full of Easter egg hunts and it didn't even have anything to do with candy, because he didn't eat any. So the Easter bunny had to wait and come to our house while we were at church. So after church Simon got to see his Easter basket (which was overstuffed with random things we pulled out from our Easter decorations box and the stuff he got from daycare in a little tin. Then Simon went outside and found all the eggs that were hidden in the backyard. He had so much fun finding them all and he actually found almost all of them without any help. Daddy helped him reach the high ones though!
Exploring the basket
Not even staged. Brian was showing Simon the different things in his basket and as he held up this chocolate bunny, Simon just went in to try and eat it! It was hilarious and I was so glad I had the camera ready even if it is blurry!
The egg hunt begins
Oh, I see another one...
He knocked it backwards as he was trying to get it down.
So pleased with his basket full of eggs
Simon got these ears from daycare and ran around that night trying to put them on his head. They're pretty cute (and yes, that is his very own (dead) cell phone - but he prefers mine because it lights up...)
Opening an Easter package from Grandma & Grandpa Chapman
It had a little stuffed bunny rabbit and a plastic monkey oven mitt. He LOVES the monkey!!
Even though Easter didn't start off as well as we would have liked, it ended up being a very nice day and ended with a lamb and potato dinner that evening. Most of the eggs that were hidden for Simon were empty and he didn't care at all. He just loved finding them and putting them in his basket. After all the eggs were found we opened them inside and he was delighted to find goldfish crackers and puffs in some of them...that's his kind of treat!

The Day Before Easter
The Saturday before Easter we took Simon to some Easter egg hunts. The first one we went to was done by Spanish Fork City. We were running a little late and still walking from the parking lot when the horn sounded for the hunt to begin. Luckily, Simon's age group was the 2 and under so they were slower so by the time we got over there Simon was still able to pick up several eggs. It took him just a minute to realize what was going on but he picked up on the concept really quickly. I was impressed at how well he did with picking them up and putting them in his basket and going for the next one.
Look at how well he did all by himself!
So proud of his bucket of eggs
He has the best smiles ever!! So happy!
Our next stop was the Provo City egg hunt. This was even more packed than the Spanish Fork one. We were a little early to this one so we got to watch them throw all the eggs around the grass. This is a picture of just the 2 and under group waiting. It was pretty crazy honestly.
I think Simon was tired by this point and about ready for his nap so he was a little slower during this one. Daddy luckily fended off the crazy parents and guarded Simon's little patch of grass so he could pick them up by himself. He really loved the whole process.
(Daddy's hand protecting Simon's eggs)
I think he wanted to do it again!
We got to meet Zippy the Provo Parks & Recreation mascot. Simon was so excited when he first saw him but when he got close to him, he wasn't so sure anymore and wanted nothing to do with him.
Me and my little man having so much fun!
This huge pixi-stick was his favorite prize. He kept whipping it around so we had to hold it still and shield our faces most of the time!
Just some funny/cute pictures of Simon on our way back to the car. He has the best facial expressions ever!!
We sure had a fun day hunting for eggs! His smile tells it all!!
Easter egg hunts require a lot of concentration and sticking out the tongue really helps!

Creativity
Simon is a little copy cat! He loves to mimic the things he sees us do. Which is cute, yet keeps us on our toes to not do things we don't want him to copy. He has put on my extra apron before when he's pulled it out of the kitchen drawer but on April 14th he wanted to wear Mommy's nice apron after I took it off. Yes, it's frilly and girly, but he was adorably handsome in it regardless! He walked around the house with his big spoon for quite some time with it on.
Then I showed him the pockets and he was in heaven! I think this means he's ready for a tool belt soon!! Much more manly but still can be adorable.
The weekend of April 16th, Simon got really sick. He woke up from his afternoon nap with throw up in his crib. He threw up several more times that evening and into the night. It is so sad to see him that sick. I can't tell you how much laundry I did that weekend trying to keep up with all the dirty sheets and clothes he went through. Sunday he stopped throwing up but had bad diarrhea which also produced lots of laundry. He wasn't perfectly better by Sunday night so I enlisted my sister, Maria, to watch him on Monday during her spring break. She is such a great help to us and so willing to watch Simon any time. She watched him in the morning and I took the afternoon off work after I finished with meetings. He sure was super cuddly, smiley, and fun to play with even with not feeling well. When I was with him that afternoon he decided he wanted to wear his hats...yes, two hats at the same time. It was too funny and cute so I had to document it. Even with a runny nose he looks adorable!! I was so glad I was able to spend the afternoon with him and help him get better.
He loves to cheese for the camera!
Then he wants to see his picture right after.

Time flies when you're having fun...
So I have lots to blog about this past month but I'm trying to narrow down all the pictures. I will try to do my best and be brief so I can get caught up before we have a new baby which will leave me with TONS more to post about and less time to do it!
Here are a few pictures of Simon back on March 19th playing in the park that were overlooked. It was still cold outside but we wanted to let him out to enjoy the somewhat nicer weather. He LOVES the outdoors. He gets distracted during the short walk from the car to the house almost every single day. That means he refuses to come inside until forced inside and then a tantrum follows. Oh how I wish I could just let him play outside all the time.

Pure joy over and over again on the slide!!
