11 months old

First and foremost, we would like to apologize for not blogging more frequently, but there just isn't enough time in the day for everything.  So within the next week we will be catching up and making many back-posts.  

Spencer is no longer a baby, well, he hasn't been for awhile now but it seems to be more noticeable these days.  He's been walking for a few weeks now and just recently moved onto climbing.  He is into everything and I mean everything.  Nothing is safe in our house anymore.  The good thing about Spencer is that he always has a smile on his face so even if he's being naughty it's hard to be upset.  We love him and are so proud of his development.  Here are some of the things he was up to this past week.

 While I was on a conference call he got into the diaper bag and got into the bag of brownies that we were going to bring to a friend.  He was not happy when I took the chocolate away.  He will forever know what a treat is!

 We enrolled Spencer in Little Gym and he loves it.  He loves doing gymnastics and absolutely loves the other kids in the class.  He is such a social butterfly.

 Miss Sarah is always impressed with his strong core and grip.  He hangs on longer than most of the older kids.  

 We are remodeling our bathrooms so we had the new sink lying around.  Before we could move it Spencer was in it and having the time of his life.  Who needs toys when you have a sink basin?

 If Spencer could live outside he would.  On cold days he stands and knocks at the window so we usually cave and take him outside.  The neighbor boys love Spencer and always pull him around in the wagon.  The other day while I was talking to one of the moms they took Spencer to the top of the driveway and let him roll down on his own.  Spencer laughed the whole way down while I prayed the wagon wouldn't tip over.  It was decided after that that someone has to go down with him. 

 After lunch Spencer decided to play with his tray.  He's seriously happy playing with whatever.

 He was so proud of himself for making it to this shelf.  Shortly after this was taken he fell off and bit his tongue.  I could see it coming but Casey wanted more photos.  The additional photos were not worth the blood that came from his mouth.  He's one tough little boy though!
