Growing up...

and with that comes independence! Spencer can be stubborn at getting his way. When I try to get him from his high chair, he now has to stand up first on his own and then I can lift him out. Or for a more recent turn of events, he wants out of his highchair to sit on the bar stool like us. When he is on our bed, he loves to slide off the side instead of us lifting him.
A few weeks ago, he started saying "more" whenever he wants anything. I guess he picked it up from us feeding him and asking if he wanted more. So now, "more" means "I am telling you what I want, so get it for me!" I thought it wouldn't last long but he is still doing it. (I would upload a video if I had the patience to wait for it to load...) It got easier when he started pointing, but now he gets frustrated when I acknowledge what he wants but don't give it to him.
One other story. He is still saying uh-oh whenever something falls or goes wrong. So yesterday, joy of joys, I got pulled over while doing a good deed, rude. Spencer definitely sensed I was upset and RIGHT as the cop was handing me a ticket, Spener said, "uh-oh". I don't think the cop heard, or maybe he would have let me off for some good comic relief...probably not, just wishful thinking! At the moment, not so funny, but I am laughing now! He really does make our life more fun and interesting!

I don't know where he learned to do this...


Jean and I definitely do not go around the house sliding onto our knees...it pains us to even watch him do it! But we love this new dance move of his because it is just so much fun to watch him do it!! (You can kind of hear him saying uh-oh, which is another favorite of his, especially when he throws food off his high chair. Not sure you can say uh-oh for something you do on purpose...one day he will catch on!)

one way to torment your child....


Holidays!

The Gardens at the Bellagio
Happy Birthday!! Cherilyn, I LOVE this toy!
I don't like the stuffed motionless animals in Bass Pro Shop, but the fish, I am okay with...Do I have to let go of the TV remote while I open my presents???
I hope your Holidays were as great as ours!!!

I like to move it, move it...

Spencer loves to mow the lawn with Daddy!!
He also loves moving our dining chairs and bar stools all over our downstairs. He has upgraded from using toy boxes as walkers.

Don't mind the screaming...he is working on not hitting his head anymore and being patient...two traits I guess he got from me...

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!!!!
