Spencer's Milestones

Over the past week or so, Spencer has advanced by leaps and bounds. He grabs onto toys and talks to them. He is cooing like crazy. And yesterday was a big day because he rolled over (from stomach to back), started sucking his thumb and slept an 11 hour stretch (8-7)! Here is a pic of him from today...

My Boys In Their Blues (PJs)

Blinded by Love

Gotta love my sweet 2 year old who thinks I am the most beautiful woman in the world. Yesterday I had a People magazine out and he was looking at the pictures and came across this one of Scarlett Johansson. He exclaimed "Look! It's mommy!" I said "No, that's not mommy." (laughing) And he insisted "Yes it's mommy in the shower!" LOL! Talk about good for your confidence...

#1 Baseball Fan

Ever since baseball season started this year, Wright is dying to go to a game. We are going to a minor league game in June because Brendan says he is too young to appreciate the majors. Here is an example of his passion...

Crazy Days!

To say that our lives have gotten twice as crazy since we have had Spencer is an understatement! A funny (in hind sight) example is our evening last night. We got home from the grocery store way later than expected and both of our boys were grouchy and hungry. I was rushing to get Spencer his bottle while Brendan was getting Wright's dinner together. While running around feeding Spencer and trying to help get the food on the table, I tripped and fell hard onto the dog crate. By some miracle, I lifted Spencer up in the air and managed to keep him from getting hit. However it made a loud noise and was scary to say the least... Anyways, after Spencer quit screaming and I was back on my feet, I walked back toward the table. Wright had been saying "Mommy, mommy" for a few minutes and I was ignoring him in light of everything else going on. Finally I said "Yes Wright, what is it?" and he answered "I spit up." I looked at him and he was sitting in a pile of throw up! All I could do was laugh to myself and think "Lord, what are you teaching me here?" Patience and perseverence I guess, I am going to have a TON of that!

4 Months - Comparison

Wright and Spencer at 4 months. I just noticed that they have the exact same hair and cowlick!

My Baby is 4 Months!

I can't believe Spencer is already 4 months! We had his checkup today and he is now 13.5 lbs! He is in the 23% for weight (up from 5%), 30% for height and 40% for head. We did his ages and stages quiz as well, and he is definitely developmentally behind for a 4 month old which we expected. The dr assured me that he will catch up soon and is actually doing really well considering all he went through and his corrected age.

Here is what he is up to these days... He is very smiley and content all the time. He really only cries when he is hungry or way overtired (been in his car seat ALL day). He coos all the time and loves to talk to his cow that hangs from his carseat. He is out of the swaddle for naps but still needs it at night. He sleeps from 10-7:30 straight - WOOHOO!!!!

Cooing...

What a handsome boy!

Look at those dimples!

Spencer and Amelia are almost the same size now!
