Under that hat, he has a Mark-shaped head and hairline.
I fear that “Simon” will be a popular name in his cohort, and unfortunately it sounds a lot like one of H.’s kids’ names, but when we got a good look at him next to our short list he just looked like a Simon and not like the other names. I think it will sound just right next to his neighboring brother Leo, and I like the “n” sound next to our family name’s beginning “arrrr.” He’ll share that with his sister.
“Felix” because some of us need to be reminded of all the reasons to be happy sometimes. Now I need to decide which one of the sixty-some St. Felixes he should get to find his name day. I suppose I should pick one not so close to Christmas. But now that I think of it, the feast day of Sts. (Simon) Peter and Paul is June 29th, which is pretty darn close to little Simon’s half birthday, so that will do.
I am still calling him “Baby.” He and I will grow into the name.
