There's so much to report, it's a little overwhelming, so I'll just write a little bit...
We just got back from a visit to CA for a cousin's wedding. Simon was absolutely wonderful the entire time. Seriously. I attribute most of this to the fact that I successfully nursed him while riding in the car. He was in his car seat and I was buckled in and I just leaned over and nursed him. It was nothing short of amazing in my eyes. We had two long car rides to and from the airport and they would have been horrible if I wasn't able to nurse him, so yeah! Other than that he was mostly smiley and happy and content to be held by his Nana, Nana Great, and Aunty Cath when not being held by Erik or myself. We also did a bit of EC on the trip too - which was very nice and kind of unexpected. I wasn't sure if he would be into it, but there were many times when he very clearly had to go and would rather not have to go in his diaper. It was sunny and nice so he even had some outdoor naked time! The trip was too short to get in some good visiting time (you know, with a baby around and wedding things to attend to), but it was a long enough time to be away from my bed. I slept pretty good last night and I needed it.

Nan and Cathy came to visit this past weekend. It was a lot of fun, despite the fact that I lost every single cribbage game to Nan...ah well. We went to the EMP/SFM, the Museum of Glass, and the Conservatory. We also enjoyed Simon's first car ride without crying!

Sue and Yvonne were here to visit this past weekend. It was really fun - they oohed and ahhed over cute baby Simon and generally basked in his sweetness. We went to the Arboretum, Pike Place Market, and the Space Needle in between hanging out and playing card games. It was such a nice visit and I'm very glad they could come!

My Mom, sister, and nephew were all here visiting. Kiki is much better at taking photos than I have been, and she got some cute ones of Simon! You can see them here: http://kikifitz.livejournal.com/178301.html#cutid1

Here's one of the few I managed to take:
