Spencer 9 months

Times is flying by. I want it to slow down. Spencer has been such a joy. He is usually pretty happy (except when teething or if we take paper out of his mouth)

He says "Dada", "mama" He said Hailey (hay-ee) twice, "Papa" once and "more" once. He has also started signing "more"

About a month ago he started doing a sort of swimming/army crawling thing. He has gotten up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth, but then he flops down onto his tummy.

He loves to crawl over and knock down block towers. He loves it when we sing "itsy-bitsy" spider and "head bumper". Spencer also loves it when daddy tickles him. He loves his sisters and he loves to give kisses.

On March 6 Spencer's first tooth popped through. He was pretty cranky, (cranky for Spencer that is)

7 months old

I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. Spencer is so happy and smiley all the time. He is such a JOY. He's sitting up and getting up on his hands. He can roll all over and turn himself around. He LOVES to eat, especially the occasional cookie crumb that daddy sneaks to him.

Buzz Cut

Spencer had some crazy long hairs, so we gave him a hair cut this morning. It turned out a little shorter than we expected, but he's still cute.

Mexican Baby

The first time I put this shirt on Spencer Hailey walked up to him and in a high pitched voice she said "look at my little Mexican baby!" I said, "Hailey why did you call him a Mexican baby?" She said "because of his shirt." To which I replied, "are you sure you don't mean a Hawaiian baby?" and she said "Oh yeah that's what I mean!"

Spencer's Many Names

The other morning I was talking to the family about the many different names we call Spencer. Here are most of them:

Spence
Broody
buba
Spencer Boy
Spencer Dency
Little Man
Big Boy
The Dispencer of ______ (usually we say Happiness)
Little Buddy
Smiley

There probably are a few more, but this is all I can think of at the moment. Whatever name we call him doesn't really matter, he is the sweetest, happiest, most content baby I have ever seen.
