The hitchhikers thumb lives on
We recently discovered that Simon has double jointed thumbs - just like Grammy Lisa and Uncle Neil. It’s so neat to see family traits passed on to our brand new baby.
Overdue babies often have dry skin, so our midwives suggested we rub some oil on Simon. I’ve given him two massages so far and he seems to enjoy them. He stretches and yawns and makes all kinds of funny faces while being massaged. This is his “I’m a tough body builder” face.
Our lovely friend Sarah knit this bunny hat for Simon. We’re going to put it on him for Halloween while we hand out candy.

What can I say? That thumb is so cool!!!! I just love the bunny hat! The photo of Simon when Topher is rubbing olive oil on him, he really looks like a tough dude!! love you mom.
Topher’s nails aren’t that nice! I’m the one massaging Simon.
AHAHAHAHA!!!!
hey - think i could commission a couple of those olive oil baby rubs in the new year?!!
those are amazing pictures. hope for your sake his stump falls off soon
Ooooh. I think I made the bunny hat a bit big. But he’ll grow into it. If you could find a little yellow jumper and put a fluffy tail on it (with a cotton ball or something) that would complete the outfit.
