More Spencer Cuteness

Yesterday Spencer and I went running/walking. During the run/walk, I let him get out and walk around at a little park. He saw a piece of rotting fruit and started walking towards it saying "appm" (apple). After I kicked it a few times to keep him away from it, he started calling it a ball. I'm not quite sure what Spencer defines as a ball or an apple. I guess if it's round and you eat it it's an apple and if it's round and you kick it it's a ball. We were at the store the other day and I bought a water melon and he started calling that a ball.

Spencer is quite the talker and is building his vocabulary. He likes lights and will point them out, so the other day I was teaching him the concept of lights on and lights off. For a while when we walked into a room where the lights were off, he would say, "light on", so I would turn the light on for him. Other words he says are:ca (cat), ba (bath), mil (milk), wa wa (water), mama, dada, mynana (banana), cracker, kixi (Kix Cereal-That's what I call it and he's picked it up), pancake, dog (It's so cute, even if he doesn't see the dog, but hears it bark, he will say dog), meemee (Meema, that's what we call my grandma). When asked what the following animals say, he says their sound: cat, dog, horse, cow.

He also loves water, dirt, and books. Sometimes he'll have a book or pamphlet and he'll sit there and hold it up and talk to himself as if he's reading the book.

It has been so fun to watch him grow over the past year. I look foward to continuing watching him grow.

Still going through the backlog... these are from Spencer's first haircut last month. His hair was getting long even though there's still not much of it. LynMarie cut his hair in the kitchen.

Appms

Spencer calls apples appms. Today when I went to visit my parents, my dad, Spencer and I were out in the front yard. Spencer was playing with a ball when he noticed some small green apricots that had fallen off the tree. He picked one up and said, "appm". I thought it was cute. I was suprised he didn't call it a ball. Usually that's what he calls things that are round. He also found a brown nut that fell off a tree and called it an appm. I love this little guy and am thankful I get to spend my days with him and be there to see all the cute things he does.
