10 Months old!

August 21, 2013

Double digits!  Spencer is 10 months old and I could not be more in love with this squeezable little baby boy.

Maxwell at 10 months old…

mbb 10 months

He’s just so happy and smiley.  I literally cannot wait to walk into his room each morning and see his big grin smiling up at me from his bed.  He’s still a major wiggle worm and always on the go but when he does actually stop and snuggle with you, it’s just the best thing ever.

Showing off his teeth – 2 on the bottom and 1 on the top with another one right behind it!

Spencer is a crawling machine.  He can get anywhere he wants to be…and he can get there fast!  His favorite places to go are straight for the air vents in the floor and into the bathroom where he loves to pull up on the tub and almost fall in.  Not good!  He can also get to any of Maxwell’s toys in a split second which leads to numerous cries of “No no ya-ya!” from big brother!

He’s nursing/taking a bottle 3 times a day – in the morning, around 12:00 and then before bed.  He’s also eating 3 meals a day.  We’re still doing baby foods mixed with oatmeal or rice cereal but I’m also experimenting with all sorts of finger foods.  So far watermelon and peaches have been the big hits!  Broccoli and peas not so much.  We also think he might have a little allergy to spinach.  He had a spinach pancake one night and broke out into hives all over his face…more investigation needed there.

He’s a good sleeper and is still taking 2 naps a day around 9:00 am and around 2:00 pm.  He starts school next week so we’ll see what happens to that morning nap!

Spencer is definitely tall and starting to “lean out” a bit…but he’s still my chubby baby!

He’s mastered drinking from a straw and is learning new tricks every day.  He can pull up on everything and is slowly starting to figure out how to move his feet once he’s up.  Walking is coming!

Spencer still continues to love Maxwell best.  He just cracks up at his big brother.  The louder Maxwell is, the harder Spencer laughs!

Weekend recap

August 19, 2013

First, Happy Birthday Jen! Hope it’s a GREAT one!

Second, hope you all had a good weekend. Ours was nice with fantastic temps in the 70s on Saturday! We had tons of rain on Sunday which is no fun but I’ll take that over the heat. Our weekend went a little something like this…

Spencer looked cute…

and then got to wear shoes for the first time! I used to put shoes on Maxwell all the time when he was a baby but I’ve literally never put them on Spencer’s feet until Friday. But, I think I want him to wear shoes to school so he needs to get used to them!

He wasn’t quite sure about them at first but then got used to them. I think his little fat legs look so cute in them! 🙂

Speaking of shoes, Maxwell got some new shoes for school! Zappos delivered 3 new pair on Friday…

Maxwell loved them all and kept running circles in the house saying “these make me fast!”

Unfortunately, his new shoes didn’t keep him from falling Saturday morning while helping Dad in the yard. He bit it on the concrete and we had to patch up a scraped leg and elbow with some band-aids. It wasn’t all that bad though but he was a *bit* dramatic about it! Skinned elbow = traumatic I guess! By that afternoon he had fortunately made a full recovery and we took a field trip to Bass Pro. Robert needed to get something and it’s always a fun place for Maxwell to explore…

That night we grabbed some pizza and Spencer got to sit in this retro high chair…funny.

Sunday morning things were looking good and we headed to church…

And then, when leaving church, Maxwell once again bit it on the concrete and ended up with knees that looked like this…

skinned knees

Ouch! Can’t blame his new shoes on this though because he had on some old ones. Poor, poor buddy! And, once again, he was quite dramatic about the whole thing…

He’s now all bandaged up and will hopefully stay scrape free for the next week! Goodness gracious.

Hope you all had a good and injury-free weekend!

Sick of soccer yet?  Sorry, you’re in trouble then!

What if I mix in a little airplane throwing to keep it exciting?

Robert and Maxwell have had airplane fun before…

and, like last time, Maxwell wanted Robert to make the plane go really, really high…and it did…all the way into the tree!  See it?

But, Robert threw up the soccer ball and rescued the plane…

and Maxwell thought that was pretty neat!
