Holidays

It's been a little while since we've posted...long enough that I was reprimanded by my little sister Jenny for not updating the blog enough. It is getting more difficult to take pictures of Spencer which is probably why our posts are fewer and farther between. He is either walking all over and won't stop long enough for a picture or if he sees the camera he wants it and comes to attack me until I give it to him or put it away.

But we have been doing well and staying pretty busy lately. We stayed in Oklahoma for Thanksgiving. My parents went to Arizona to see my brothers new baby Ewen over the holiday, so we had a Thanksgiving dinner by ourselves. I had a lot of fun cooking everything and we all had fun eating it! Bryce helped "cook" by entertaining Spencer which was very helpful.

Spencer is growing and getting into everything! He is walking all over the place and learning lots of new tricks. Here is his latest:

He loves to put his finger in things...his nose, my nose, his binky, any little hole he can find. He also really likes to poke his eyes and hit himself in the face. I don't like when he does this and so usually try to stop him but apparently that just makes it even funnier.

He also loves to throw his hands up and walk around in circles.

He does lots of funny things. He is a great baby. He is a great sleeper too! He sleeps all night these days and usually just plays in his crib until we come get him in the morning. And he loves to go outside. It has been getting pretty cold here lately. We went on a little walk this afternoon and I bundled him up in his big coat.

Tonight we went to a Christmas party for Bryce's work. It was a lot of fun and Santa even came to celebrate with everyone! Spencer was not too fond of Santa though...he hated him in fact.


I'm sure Spencer will like Santa once he figures out that is who brings him his presents on Christmas!
