Oh my, how is he already 5 months?! Spencer is a happy, lovable, squeezable little guy and what did I ever do without him? I am officially in love with this chubby little baby. He loves to snuggle into my shoulder when I’m holding him and I could just eat him up. He’s such an easy smiler and a GREAT belly laugher! His little blue eyes just sparkle and he’s getting those long Brown eyelashes which makes him just irresistible to me! 🙂
For comparison, Maxwell at 5 months…
They look nothing alike in my opinion. I always thought Maxwell looked just like Robert as a baby but I totally see Robert in Spencer too, especially his nose and eyes. But I’m still holding out hope that Spencer has got some shades of red in that hair! 🙂
He’s becoming quite the good little sleeper now. We’re not longer swaddling him and just putting him in a sleep sack. He sleeps all night on his belly and, hooray!, actually does sleep all night. He’ll rarely let me rock him asleep anymore. He’s usually just too wiggly and awake to calm down in my arms so I’ll just put him in his bed awake and he’ll play for a bit and then go to sleep…sometimes with a little crying, sometimes with none. He’s sleeping from about 8pm to around 7am (which occasional earlier wakeups!) He naps in the morning in his crib from about 9 to 11:00 and then takes an afternoon nap in the swing from around 1 to 3:00. Depending on when he wakes up from that nap, sometimes he’ll get a 3rd little nap in.
He’s eating 4 times a day and clearly loves his milk! 🙂 He’s smiley and giggly and just about perfect.
He’s not the best at sitting up on his own yet…I think that belly gets in the way! 🙂 He can balance for a minute but then…whoa!
off to one side!
or off to the other!
He loves being outside but I’m afraid outside doesn’t love him as much. He’s had some major congestion in his nose since the spring weather hit and I’m thinking it’s all allergy related.
Look at his little feet crossed…too cute!
One thing Spencer definitely loves? Maxwell. If Maxwell is in the room, he’s got Spencer’s attention! 🙂

Growing like a weed buddy. We love you!
Anna says
Spencer is just a super cutie!! And he definitely trumps his “big” brother in size at the same age. I see good wrestling matches ahead….

How have 5 months flown by so fast? I’m such a sucker for blue eyes- you can ask great uncle John, Spencer!
