Spencer's New Crib

It's been a couple of weeks, so it's time to post something here. First, a quick update on me and LynMarie. In the past couple of weeks, we've had fun knocking on doors for Proposition 8, my first annual Game Day Birthday Party, and our ward's Primary program. Here's the old man with his cake:


Now on to what everyone really wants -- a Spencer update. Spencer is seven months old, and we're going to have to switch car seats really soon, because he weighs 21 pounds. He eats oatmeal, barley and rice cereals, carrots, peas, squash, and seems to especially like green beans and sweet potatoes. Here he is eating a Farley's Rusk. They basically melt when they get wet, so he can eat them even though he doesn't have any teeth yet.


He sits up on his own, stands if he's holding on to something, and rolls wherever he wants to go. He can also turn around on his stomach so he's pointed the way he wants to be. The past few days he's been pushing up onto his knees, so crawling probably isn't too far away. He can move around a bit in his walker on the kitchen floor.


This bassinet is what he used to sleep in, but now it's much too small.


This cradle is what he's been sleeping in for the past couple of months -- still too small.


Sometimes he takes a nap in mommy and daddy's bed, but it's too big.


But now that it's done, he sleeps in his own room in his own crib, and it's just right.

L.A. County Fair

Here are some pictures from the fair -- we went about three weeks ago on the first day of the fair, so we got in for a dollar apiece. We took Spencer and our nephew Lincoln, who is 21 months old.

Lake San Antonio 2008

Introducing......


Spencer=) So as many of you know Todd and I were blessed with a beautiful baby boy in March. However, we were told to wait until the adoption process progressed until we posted pictures of him on our blog. So, some of you haven't seen pictures of him and are probably wondering if we really have a baby. Well, we recieved good news on Friday that we will probably be able to finalize the adoption sometime around the end of October or the beginning of November. This came as a huge shock to us as we were initially told it would take 1-2 years. As a result of this good news, Todd and I felt it was time to share pictures of our beautiful baby boy with our friends. We will also open his blog up to the public if any of you would like to go back and look at pictures from the beginning. When Todd can get around to it he will post a link to his blog. Any further posts of Spencer will be on our blog.
