Spence is 9 months!!

By
I can't believe that it's already been 9 months. This time is flying by. As you may have seen from previous posts, Spence is growing growing growing and picking up all sorts of new skills. It's amazing how quickly he learns new things. Last week, he was starting to pull himself up to standing, but usually needed help to get all the way up to his feet. Well, this week, he's getting up to his feet in his crib, in front of the tv and sofa, on some toys, and his favorite, on my legs. His legs are already so much stronger - I wish I gained muscle like this (of course, if I worked my muscles as much as he does, I probably would...hmm something to think about separately...). Anyway, now he's starting to cruise which is walking along while holding on to something. More surprising, he's reaching for objects that are out of arms length. He's definitely thinking, "ok, how to get there without having to drop to the ground". My bet is that he's walking in the next two months...YIKES!

Pictures from today are below.

Flashing those beautiful blue eyes

Showing off new skills in his crib

Yay - getting more use out of those rail covers and I bet it feels good on those itchy gums. Come on next teeth, where are you!

Another sweet shot in the crib

Standing strong. Now to keep him from chewing on the entertainment center.

Spencer Time

A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).     Learning all the tricks on his first flight. We lucked out and got an extra seat for his carseat (ok, I lucked out, but still...)  Sleepy times with Grandma    Enjoying a new toy!   Such a big boy

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Growing up

By
Jack and Spence "graduated" from their respective preschool programs in the last couple of weeks. While the road along the way wasn't always the smoothest, the outcome couldn't be better. At Spencer's 2s club event, the kids demonstrated all the new skills they had learned in the gym. Lots of forward rolls, big jumps on the trampoline, and amazing core strength. The kids then enjoyed their favorite book of the year: mean soup. Afterward each child received an award. Spencer followed Jack's footsteps on this part by refusing to go up to accept the award. Regardless, we were so proud of Spence. He loved having his independence, being involved in a class, making new friends, and just having fun. Next year Spence starts preschool at the Y. Jack's tender care graduation was last friday. The event was held in the Little Theater at the Y. Jack was so excited to be on the stage. The class sang several songs ending with what has to be the anthem of kids 3...
