Seven!!!

Spencer is now officially seven months old. I think seven is going to be his lucky number. He was born October 7 and weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and yesterday he turned 7 months on May 7!

It is crazy how fast he is growing! Last night I decided to try and put him in some new pajamas that are 9 months size. I was looking at them on the hanger and thought, these are huge! They will probably be so big on him. I decided to put him in them anyway (because all his other ones were dirty) and they fit! They were a little big but not as big as I expected!



In his 9 months pajamas!


Spencer is not only getting bigger but he is also learning a lot of new things. He loves to just sit and play with his toys. He is such a good sitter and hardly ever falls anymore (unless he wants to go after a toy, then he purposely falls down). It was so funny the other day Bryce and I were watching a movie and Spencer was just sitting on the floor playing with his toys. I looked down at him and he was looking behind him at this little piece of paper. And he loves paper! He always wants to play with paper and eat it, probably because any time he gets some I take it right away so he won't eat it. Anyway, so he kept looking behind him at this paper and I could tell he really wanted it but I figured he wouldn't be able to get to it so he'd just keep playing with his toys. So I went back to watching the movie and looked back down a few minutes later and he was on his tummy eating the paper! So apparently if he really wants something he will somehow get to it!


He is also rolling around all over and scooting backwards. He's really started moving around more since we started trying to put him to sleep without being wrapped up. I know! Can you believe we still had to wrap him up at 6 months! I kept picturing him coming to me when he's 2 and being like "Okay mommy I'm ready for bed, wrap me up!" So we decided that even though we would most likely have some bad nights we'd just try it out. He has done pretty good with it too. He can always fall asleep on his own right at bed time. He usually wakes up in the middle of the night slightly hysterical so we eventually wrap him up, but atleast we know that he can fall asleep unwrapped. So since he doesn't spend half of his days with is arms tied down to his sides he has been rolling and scooting around a lot more.


He is just such a great baby and we are so glad we have him. His little smile just makes my day. I'm sure that will come in handy for him when he's older and gets into trouble! He'll just have to smile at me and I won't be able to stay mad. =)


Here is a video of him in his crib. It's so funny because now when he is on his tummy you can see his little head popping up!
