Last Tuesday, Spencer hit double digits...10 months old!! He is going to be 1 before we know it! This kid is still keepin' us on our toes! He is a "getinsky" and will open, get into, tear apart, rummage through ANYTHING he can get his hands on! Some of his favorite toys include a basket full of cookie cutters and a box full of cds.
He is constantly on the move and more often than not is pushing something along with him. Sometimes a car, sometimes a box, or a movie case, or just a toy. He is ALL boy! He loves to play in the dirt (and try to eat it) and pick up rocks and grass and weeds. His newest trick is to find tomatoes in the garden and take big ol' bites! He so badly wants to be a big boy like his older cousins. He will follow them and pester them all day long, and they're usually pretty good sports about it until he gets too close to one of their trucks ;)
don't be fooled, this is dirt not chocolate.
The boy LOVES to eat but isn't such a big fan of baby food, he really just wants to eat whatever the adults around him are eating. He is so smart and if you ask him where you're nose is he gets it right 99% of the time, the other 1% he isn't interested or just isn't paying attention. He loves to climb all over anyone laying on the ground, and he especially likes to try to eat their face!
He is no longer the baby around here and isn't so sure he likes sharing his mom's attention with a new baby and he gets very jealous when I hold the new baby and not him. Spence is still a pretty terrible napper during the day. Usually he thinks two 10 minute naps is sufficient..especially around 5 oclock. I tend to hate that and fight it every single day so dinner time is kind of nightmareish around here :) However it has improved his night sleeping somewhat. He is consistently going to bed around 9pm and sleeps in his own bed until 2-3am and then he comes and sleeps with me until about 8am. Still not great, but improving so I'll take it!
He has 5 teeth, 3 on the bottom and 2 on the top with 2 more up top just days from breaking through. He still hasn't mastered walking, but has taken a few steps here and there. Doesn't seem to interest him as much as it used to. He really likes banging his head on the couch and babbling "baa baa baa" which we all think is pretty hilarious.
He's growing like a weed and we sure love our Spencey!
