I. love. this. baby. This squeezable, huggable, kissable baby. Spencer is stealing my heart, big time. I know people always told me that you will love the second baby just as much as the first but, I’ll be honest, I was concerned because I love Maxwell a LOT. Spencer had some big shoes to fill because Maxwell was and is pretty much the best. Well, consider those shoes filled because Spencer is also the best…in all the same and different ways. His chubby cheeks, belly laughs, his happy smile…how in the world did I get so lucky to have him?
Here’s Maxwell at 7 months…
They totally don’t look anything alike.
Spencer just looks like himself and I love those chubby thighs and those cheeks…oh those cheeks.
I can’t kiss them enough!
And this one? This one is a snuggle bug. He lays his head on my shoulder and wraps his arm around my neck or snuggles his little body up on my chest and I just melt.
He’s at the most fun age. He laughs a lot and talks and babbles constantly. He’s sitting up like a champ but is still my roly poly little guy on the floor. He jumps higher and faster and stronger in the jumperoo than Maxwell ever did. He loves his bendy bunny and any sort of ring toy. He’ll even suck on a paci every now and then, mostly when he’s going to sleep.
He’s taking two naps a day around 9:00 and around 1:00 and is a great crib napper. If we get him before he’s too tired, we just put him in the crib and he’ll play for a bit and then go on to sleep. He goes to bed at night around 7:30 and wakes up around 6:30 in the morning. He wakes up happy and just plays in his bed until we come get him. There’s nothing better than walking in and seeing that little head peek over the bumper! He then gives you the biggest smile you’ve ever seen and, well, it’s impossible not to be happy when you see that!
He’s still nursing 4 times a day. We started food about a month ago and he’s loving all kinds of fruit and veggies mixed with oatmeal.
There were so many funny “outtakes” from the photos this month that I have to share…
This kid makes me laugh. and Maxwell makes him laugh like no other! And, whether Spencer likes it or not, the playful wrestling has already begun! brothers!
My happy, laid back, friendly, little guy. Happy 7 months sweet Spencer!!
We love you!

Happy Birthday, Spencer!
How did ‘I’ get so lucky to care for him while Mom’s working ??
Precious boy! Gonna be a heartbreaker for sure!
Great photos indeed. That is one beautiful round noggin if I do say so myself. Spencer, you are just as sweet and lovable as your brother. Mom and I are very lucky to have you both! Can’t wait to coax A LOT more belly laughs from you. We love you.
