Big Brother is almost crawling!

Spencer is getting so close to crawling... but lately, it seems he wants to avoid being on his knees as much as possible. He seems to like to crawl on his shin and his foot, which is pretty normal so far as I have ever witnessed. Though, he also likes to stretch his legs straight out and try to "crawl" flat footed. He's not so great at it, and falls on his face a lot!

He loves to walk along furniture. He loves to push toys across the floor, walking. At daycare, there's a walking/push toy in the basement, and the other day, he walked the entire length of the basement and back at least 10 times! What a goofball. He LOVES it though. He also likes to push dad's milk crates around the living room.

I really need to get planning his first birthday party, scheduled for November 5. I can hardly believe he's going to be 1 so soon!

Spencer is going to be a big brother!

It sounds so crazy to think of our baby, who turns 10 months tomorrow, as being the older sibling already, but really, that's what we wanted!


This morning, he got to see Sprout via ultrasound, with mommy and daddy, of course! Baby is scheduled to arrive around April 18, 2011.

Fun at the Fair








On Wednesday this week, Spencer, Daddy, Mommy, Uncle Jesse, and "Auntie" (Best Friend) Sam went to the Turner County Fair!

It was a lot of fun!

The week before, he went to the Sioux Empire Fair with Daddy, Auntie Sam, Auntie Allie, Mommy, and some of mommy's friends. In Sioux Falls, we watched a band, walked around and looked at animals, pet a miniature horse, napped, and enjoyed watching carnival rides.

This week, Spencer participated in a few more activities. He got to see more animals, and try to pet them (including pastel chickens (he didn't try to pet those) and a camel).

Daddy and Uncle Jesse played a fast-pitch game, and won SJ and Sam matching twin elephants! Yay!

Spencer also played the duck game and won himself a toy monkey!

He enjoyed some homemade ice cream, "played" Bingo, watched the rides, and laughed a bunch at daddy and Uncle Jesse.

Sam took a bunch of pictures! Here's a few to share!

Adventures with my Aunties

Last week I went to the Butterfly House with: My Mommy, Daddy, Auntie Sam, and Auntie Allie. It was lots of fun! Mommy and Daddy each had a butterfly land on them!
Every night other than some Auntie Allie has been giving me bathes! she makes them so fun. Last night I decided that I needed to take the pink starfish out of the Tub and play with it because it tasted so good. other nights daddy has been giving me bathes. He likes to play guitar when I'm in there!I have been saying 'Uh oh' a lot lately... almost for everything. Next week Papa Web is going to take us to the zoo! I cannot wait I love it there! It is probably one of my favorite places because there are lots of animals!
I have 4 teeth now and one is named 'Howie' according to Auntie Allie. Howie is my biggest tooth.
I went to Cherry Berry with Mommy, Sam, Auntie Sam, and Auntie Allie. It was fun I got 4 plastic spoons and had 2 samples of frozen yogurt. Yummy. I had vanilla and strawberry because mom said no chocolate. They we very tasty. So today I had fun and tomorrow Auntie Allie is coming to work with Mommy and I!
Tonight we are watching "Fox and the Hound" so I can attempt to fall asleep. I had a bath before bed (as usual) and it was fun! Auntie Allie sang 'Oo-De-Lolly' to me. Except instead of 'Robin Hood and Little John' it was 'Spencer Jacob and his Mom'.
Tomorrow will be fun and I am looking forward to it... so goodbye for now.... keep reading my posts to see what I am up to.
