Weeks 16 and 17

Spencer seems to have taken over this blog :)   Remember when we used to write about Korea, Australia, or the wild beast called a chipmunk?  Ha!  Now our world revolves around our cute wee boy.  We did however manage to sneak out on a real date!  We went to see The Full Monty, a play put on by our local community theatre starring a friend of ours.  Grandma and Grandpa babysat while we enjoyed a few hours spit-up free!  Woot woot!

During week 16, Spencer began to use his exersaucer.  He sometimes gets a bit frustrated that the toys don't come off.  He also got the cutest bear hat from his friend Melissa.  When I take him for a walk in that hat we always attract a crowd of kids who want to tell him he's cute.  I think it's giving him a big ego. When we pair it with the sunglasses he's just soooooo adorable.  

Spencer also started using his Jolly Jumper more often during week 17.   It took a little getting used to, but eventually he got the hang of it.  It makes me laugh so hard I cry.  It is absolutely one of the funniest things I've seen.  Snoopy came over to visit him while he was in the Jolly Jumper.  Spencer is starting to notice animals now.  This was the first time he actually reached out to pet a dog.  Snoopy reached out right back :)

With the nicer weather, Spencer helped his Daddy to mow the lawn.  Brett loves to take Spencer out to garden or mow the lawn.   Spencer likes his bjorn now so it opens up a whole new bunch of activities we can do with him.  Spencer also started to use the regular seat on his stroller!  Gosh!  He's growing so fast!
