Update on Spencer

I thought it was about time for an update on Spencer. He will be 18 months in a few weeks! Can you believe it? That means nursery! Which we are really looking forward to. So instead of roaming the hallways he will get to play with toys and eat snacks. I can hardly believe he is getting so big.


Spencer loves bath time. And he has started drinking the bath water! He thinks it's so hilarious, especially when I try to get him to stop. He also loves to throw things. Which can get pretty messy at dinner. His favorite word is ball and loves to go outside and play with the soccer ball, football, baseball, basketball, and tennis ball. He has quite the arm and is also pretty good at kicking. He also likes drawing on the driveway with chalk. Really he just likes doing anything outside. He is such a great helper too. He loves to clean up and will usually put something away when I tell him to. My parents got Olivia and Aislee (Spencer's cousins) a little toy vacuum for Christmas that they forgot to take home..and Spencer loves it! He has always liked vacuums though. Even when he first started crawling I would have to put him in his crib because he would follow me around and usually get in the way while I tried to vacuum. And now he has his own. He must get his vacuum obsession from his grandma. :)


Spence is also learning a few new words. He "talks" quite a bit and can really only say a few words. But he has started copying a lot and will sometimes try to copy what I say. I took him into the bathroom to get a tissue (because he has a major runny nose) and decided to introduce him to what a toilet is. He of course is familiar with them, but just thinks it's a big sink with water already in it to play with. But when I said toilet he started trying to say it. It probably sounds nothing like it to anyone else, but I could tell he was trying to say it. So since he was so interested, I showed him how to sit on the toilet and how to flush it. He seemed really into it so he'll probably be ready to start potty training soon. :) ha, just joking. I'm sure we have quite a while for that. But at least he knows what a toilet is now so hopefully he won't ever play in the water whenever he sneaks his way into a bathroom.


Now onto some new pics of our cute little baby.

Spencer enjoys turning the TV off. Especially when daddy is trying to watch ESPN or something. Sometimes we can stop him by trying to block it...but he usually can find a way past it.

Knocking down daddy's tower.


He found an old bottle we had and so I decided to fill it with some water and let him drink from it. Let's just say it's probably good we went straight to a sippy cup.

Look at those eyelashes!

Such a cute baby.
