Spencer is a very cute boy! I guess those blue eyes are here to stay! He is trying to say a lot more words now. His favorite word is "Look!" His second favorite word is "No!" He also likes to say "kitty," "car," "out," "girl" and, of course, "ma-ma." He likes to take a bath, but he doesn't like to actually sit down while doing so. He loves to eat beans -- green beans, baked beans, kidney beans. He seems very interested in learning how to operate things. For example, in February he ruined the TV by turning it on and off repeatedly. (Our new TV has controls that he cannot reach.) He desperately wants to ride a tricycle, but he is a bit too small yet. When he doesn't get his way, he sometimes takes a little fit where he stamps his feet and cries. Or he may make a little fist in frustration. But he seems easy going most of the time. He thinks it is hilarious when someone sneezes. In fact, he will often take a tissue and pretend to sneeze. He likes to giggle. He doesn't like to hold still to have his diaper changed, but he has absolutely no interest in using a little potty.
Spencer likes to "drive" his Crazy Coupe. This is a photo from Palm Sunday. He has since had a hair cut. He sends his love on Mother's Day to all the women who love him so much. He's a special boy and very happy!
Spencer continues to grow and develop. He is becoming increasingly vocal. He likes to say "nana" for banana at breakfast. His favorite expression is "Yeah!" He throws his hands in the air when he says it, too, with much feeling. He also says "get," "girl," "no," "book" and "Elmo." He enjoys saying "mama" or more likely "ma-ma-ma-ma-ma." And he likes noodles (as you can see) as well as green beans, asparagus, watermelon, cantaloupe and corn. He also likes Girl Scout thin mint cookies! He experienced some snow in January during a visit to Pennsylvania. He seems to have a sweet nature, but if he doesn't get his way, he will throw a little tantrum that consists of stomping his feet and making some angry sounds. And watch out; he just may bite you!
Spencer is getting bigger, more active and curious! He started walking in September and he really has the hang of it now. He enjoyed trick-or-treating at Halloween. Last week he was teething again with a few more chompers coming in on top. His hobbies are: turning the TV off (particularly if someone seems to be enjoying a program), flushing the toilet and removing people's sunglasses. His favorite foods are French bread, mushrooms, asparagus tips and gingerbread. He has moved on to cow's milk and refuses baby food and formula. He uses a "big boy" sippy cup. We are very proud of his progress! But where did our tiny baby go?!
