Spencer 3.5 months

Comparison Photo - Spencer (L), Wright (R)

Spencer is such a sweet baby, I just fall more in love with him every day. He loves to lay on his play mat and smile at the bumble bees that hang above him. He also loves the animals on his mobile and car seat. But his biggest smiles come when I talk to him - he just looks at me so adoringly which of course melts my heart. Recently he has started blowing bubbles a lot. He also is taking great naps throughout the day and sleeping about 6-7 hours at night. Since he gained 3.5 pounds in less than 2 months, I am pretty confident he will be in a much higher weight percentile at his 4 month checkup in a few weeks. Every once in a while, he will make a face that looks like Wright, but in general he is really just his own person. We are not sure who he looks like exacly...

Bon Jovi

Brendan and I had a great date night Sunday night at the Bon Jovi concert at AAC. We were so lucky to get to sit in an incredible suite. We went with several of Brendan's college friends and their wives/girlfriends. It was a much needed break from the kids and an all around awesome time!

Updates on my boys

Here is Wright feeding his doll just like I feed Spencer - boppy and all. He is such a good big brother. Tonight he wanted to hold Spencer's hands while we were saying bedtime prayers. Then he has to kiss him on the head every night. He has also become the king of temper tantrums and does not like to be told what to do ever. He argues with us and likes to be right no matter what. We can't get too irritated considering that he likely got these traits from both his parents :) We are starting to work on potty training too and did "naked time" today for the first time. Already had some accidents on the carpet - fun times!

Spencer is now big enough to sit in his green seat and watch what's going on around him. He loves it! He has also grown immensely in the last 1.5 months. We had to go to the doctor on Saturday morning because the poor thing has a double ear infection. While we were there, they weighed him and he was 12 pounds 5 ounces - that is alost 3.5 pounds more than at 2 months! He is really the sweetest most mild mannered baby and he loves to be cuddled so much more than Wright ever did. When I hold him up over my shoulder, he grabs on to my arm and lays his head on me. It's so sweet and melts my heart. He is still not sleeping through the night, getting up at 10:30pm and 2:30am. Since he is only 9 weeks by his corrected age, I am still hopeful he will get there in the next 3 weeks or so. I forget what it feels like to not be exhausted!!!

Easter 2010

Luke, Max and Wright in their Easter best. Luke kept tickling Wright to get him to smile.


Our family - Spencer slept ALL Easter morning and then when we were ready for a nap, he was wide awake!

Wright still loves to eat the chocolate out of the eggs immediately.
