Update on Spencer

And of course I can't ever post anything without adding in a few pictures of Spencer.

I suppose with being mobile and climbing on everything there are going to be lots of falls and a few injuries. Well, this has been Spencer's first big injury (and it probably isn't really that big, it's just seems big to me, ha). So he fell on the wood floor and bit his tongue! Doesn't it look painful? Every time I see it or think about it, it makes my tongue hurt. But Spencer apparently has a pretty high pain tolerance (or I'm just a huge pansy). So he fell and was bleeding a lot. He was pretty upset at first, as you can imagine, but since it happened he hasn't really acted like it bothers him much. He still eats and chews on anything he gets his hands on. He even sticks his tongue out and grabs it with his hand and pulls on it! I make him stop because it's just too much for me. But he's doing pretty good and hopefully it will heal quickly!

Spencer's pool hair do. I think his hair gets blonder everytime he is outside in the sun!

Swimming in the pool! He really did not like this at all, although he is getting more used to and starting to enjoy the pool.

Spencer in his old man pants. Actually, all his pants can do this. Poor kid is definitely going to be short. These are 9 months pants and they are still too long on him!

And in case anyone wonders why Spencer is so spoiled and gets whatever he wants, this is why. Who can say no to this face??

3 Year Anniversary!

Monday was our three year anniversary! We were able to leave Spencer with my parents and go out to dinner together. It was so nice to just sit and enjoy eating and being together. It has really been a great three years. We have been through and learned a lot together and I am a much better person because of my husbands good example and influence. Anyway, it was a great anniversary!

Our wedding day

After three years of marriage.

Swing!

It has been quite a while since I have posted new pictures of Spencer! He is 10 months old now and such a happy and fun baby. He is so wiggly and loves to crawl around everywhere. You can hardly keep him in your arms sometimes because he just loves the floor. He is into everything too. He loves to open cupboards and drawers and really only likes to get into the ones that he's not supposed to. He isn't very interested in walking or standing on his own. Anytime we try to stand him up or help him walk he just bends his knees so he can get down and crawl away. He has been sleeping really well lately too. We usually put him to bed around 7 or 7:30 and he will wake up usually once around 11, but then he'll sleep until 6:30 or 7 (sometimes even later!). He also takes two naps, usually about 1 or 2 hours each. He doesn't really like his binky anymore. In fact, usually when I give it to him he knows it means nap time or bed time and so he will just scream and spit it out. So I've learned it's better to just not even give it to him because even when he does take it I find it on the floor in his room later. He loves to splash in the bath tub and drink out of any cup I am drinking out of. It is hard to believe how fast he is growing and that he will be having his first birthday pretty soon!


Grandpa put a baby swing in the backyard and Spencer LOVES it! Anytime he gets fussy I just have to take him out to the swing for a little bit and he's all smiles!





Breeny loves to hold Spencer and give him hugs and kisses. She will be such a good big sister. (and don't you just love Spencer's mohawk?)

Playing the piano. This is something he really enjoys as well, just pounding on the keys.

Trying to escape from his pj's.

And in case anyone wanted to see the cutest little baby bum in the world, here it is! Or half of it anyway. I was putting his diaper on after a bath and tried to just pull it over a little because it was a little crooked and ended up ripping it! He didn't seem to mind to much...

So we are all doing great in Oklahoma. Bryce is really enjoying his job and it looks like they'll be able to start up some Athletic Training at some of the schools around which I think he is looking forward to. Spencer and I are just enjoying our time at home during the day with grandma. Lately we've also been able to spend some time with Aunt Jenny, Aunt Chelsea, and Uncle Matt (who are visiting for a little bit from Utah) and Aunt Jessica, Ben, Grace, and Breeny. I think Spencer has really enjoyed all the attention he gets from everyone! Also, I have decided to make a quiet book for Spencer. I am pretty excited about it right now...we'll see if that lasts when I actually start putting it all together. Hopefully it will help to keep his attention during church! He likes to yell and make lots of noise whenever it's really quiet so I'm thinking a quiet book might help us.
