driving lessons...

Spencer, listen very carefully to Daddy's instructions....

Always remember to check your mirrors before backing the car up
If you must adjust the radio, make sure to keep your eyes on the road while doing so

And never, not under any circumstance, hang your head and arms out the window like a dog while you are driving. It is just not safe!

Disclaimer: Spencer is not really driving. The car is parked in the garage with no keys in the ignition. We are not like that Canadian family who put video of their young kids driving on YouTube, only to get pressed with charges. Repeat, our son is not really driving.

Homemade walker

A few weeks ago Spencer discovered that he could be proactive when it comes to walking and take himself walking rather than wait for us to grab his hands to cruise around.

And PS, I am in shock that he is 9 months old already!!! (and still toothless...do they make baby dentures?)

I just can't get enough

of this cute little guy that cracks me up!!

He loves to be standing or walking--this can usually instantly cheer him up!

He has discovered that if he wants something, he can let us know by grunting, as demonstrated below.

I was multi-tasking the other day by drinking a smoothie (dinner) and shopping at Walmart with Spencer at the same time. Spencer loves smoothies (I discovered he can now drink out of a straw) and he was grunting so loud for me to share with him. It was making me laugh so hard that I nearly snorted smoothie out my nose all over the place (probably him--that would have shown him!) haha He can get pretty into it; this video is him being very mild when it comes to the grunting.

Note to Grandpa: Spencer wants me to tell you HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
