Spencer and Monkey

Spencer received a super soft stuffed animal Monkey from Santa at Christmas (Santa knew that Jellycat stuffed animals are the best). (In true MacFarlane style, the stuffed animal is called "Monkey" kind of like Jack's Lovey is called, well, "Lovey".) At first Monkey was mainly used for teething. He took it in stride even though one of his front arms is much crunchier than the other. Now Spencer shows him a bit more love - talking to him as he goes to sleep and as he wakes, swinging him from side to side as he goes to sleep, and still using him for teething though now focused on Monkey's nose.

In the last week, Spencer has taught Monkey a new trick: flying. Spencer picks him up and bravely sends him soaring like an eagle...and out of the crib. Unfortunately, Monkey hasn't learned how to jump back into the crib. Silly Monkey, don't you know that this makes Spencer very sad? Justin or I end up rescuing Monkey and calming Spencer. Perhaps Spencer has taught us a new trick...

Monkey kind of resembles Spence

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade

Skinny....

Talking to Spence this evening, I said one of these days you'll fill out (because he's so skinny) His response: "Yea, when I'm a Daddy."
