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.

Spencer is growing like a weed. What size clothes does he wear now? I'm curious because he's only a pound less than Ella. He looks so happy and healthy. Enjoy the memory making... kids seem to grow up so fast!

Holy moly he is growing so fast!! Shoot! I had some jammies I've been meaning to send down, but they may be too small now. What size is he wearing??
Looks like Ethan's going to be the light-weight for a while of the new cousins. He was only like 19lbs. at his 1 year check-up! We go in at the end of next month so I'm curious to see how he's grown.
Crawling is a fun stage - enjoy it while it lasts!
Also... Happy Belated Birthday!! I'm not sure if Sean has called yet - I know we haven't done a 'family' call to sing to you. It's coming!!

Hi. Amy.I was also supprised when I saw Ella's stats. We just switched to the carseat you left for us. Spencer is pretty much wearing 6-9 months clothes, althought some 6 month stuff is too small for him. He seems to be short for his age.

Sean and Jenn, That's ok for the belated birthday call as we didn't get around to calling Ethan. However, we did think about him.

Hey Todd, what games did you play for your b-day? Do you have a new favorite?

Also, I must say, you look good, as in healthier...not that you looked sick before... you know what I mean... I hope... ok, I'll stop babbling.

Amy,

At my birthday party, I played Backgammon, Race for the Galaxy, Lifeboats, Bohnanza, Crokinole, Ingenious, and others I can't recall at the moment. I didn't get any new games, since I'm waiting to see what the new hits are from the Essen fair later this month, but I've really been enjoying Race for the Galaxy and Agricola lately.

Also, thanks for all the blogging you do! It's nice to still keep up with what you guys are doing even though you're so far away.
