I cannot believe Spencer is 1 month old! He has been such a sweet baby and we are totally in love. Sure, he can cry with the best of babies, but we can always get him calmed down pretty quickly. He really only cries when he’s hungry…or needs to poop! 🙂 He’s eating every 3 hours like a clock during the day. At night, he has gone some 4 and 5 hour stretches which is really nice. He seems to sleep best when he’s laying on me or in my arms so that’s where he spends most of the night. If he’s not there, he’s propped up on the boppy right beside me. I can’t help but spoil him a little like that! 🙂
I actually left him for the first time on Friday and Susan watched both boys for a few hours. Thankfully everything went great and Spencer even took a bottle with absolutely no issue at all! Go Spencer!
We’re so ready for the holiday this weekend and can’t wait for so much of the family to meet our new baby boy!
Being 1 month old means one very important thing around here – monthly photo shoot! You can see all the pics I took of Maxwell here. I debated about whether to use the same chair for Spencer or find a different one. I really want to use the other green chair we have so the pictures will match but not be exactly the same. Unfortunately, this chair isn’t quite as padded as the one I used for Maxwell’s photos so not sure how that will work out with a baby that can’t sit up! We got some cute ones this month with no injuries but I also took some in the other chair in case I change my mind next month!
Spencer at one month…
and here is Maxwell at one month!
I think they look a little similar but not too much alike.
Spencer was a pretty good – albeit slightly somber – model…
But then he started to get a little pouty…
and then really upset!
I think he was just lonely though. As soon as I brought out his bear friend, he was in much better spirits!
Two buddies just staring at the ceiling…
Sweet boy loving on his bear…or just unable to sit up! 🙂
Love this little guy!
And now for a few in the other chair, just in case…
Happy 1 month Spencer!! We love you!
tell me – which chair do you like best? also – mr. bear needs a name! suggestions?
GJ says
Oh that sweet little boy – can’t wait to see him in a couple of days! Great pictures – looking at the baby and not the chair – so either is fine!!!!!
Aunt Jen says
Oh! He is so cute! Either chair works. I’m kind of prefer the first one cause I love the pattern. But you may need to use Winston?, Roscoe?, William? as padding each time. I think teddy needs a dapper name like Sir Winston Banks Bartholomew Brown. :-).
Dad says
Either chair is fine, but I’d like to us the other one just for some variety. Don’t worry, I’ll stand guard like the photo shoot this weekend to make sure he doesn’t bump his head if he falls over.
I think we need to name the bear “Baylor” in honor of the Baylor Bears who dethroned #1 Kansas State this weekend. With an Oregon loss to Stanford, the door is open for Bama to win their 14th National Championship. Very exciting stuff for dad.
More exciting is Spencer’s first month celebration. What an amazing little guy, he’ cute, great sleeper and even giggles sometimes. We can’t wait for you to grow up and share many great moments with us!
Granddad says
I think Spencer is a tad larger than Maxwell or just a better eater! Both boys look great.
A name for the bear could be Brown Bear…or Bear Bryant?
Great Pics, we loved the card.
