Dear Bump,

We have officially found out what you are! The funny thing is that both Daddy and I seemed to know without them telling us. I can't say for me that it was because you have been totally different than your brother, it was more than that...it was a true feeling that you were indeed a girl.

We are teaching Spencer to say sister and he has quickly caught on to saying doctor and baby. He also was pretty amused to see your tiny foot on the ultrasound screen and reminds us that he did see it. It's all so very sweet. I can't wait to see the two of you interacting together. He is going to be such a great big brother!

Daddy's girl and Mommy's partner in crime...we can't wait to meet you!

Love,
Mommy

You're A Mom

Was on the web looking for something else and stumbled upon this video. I don't know who these guys are but Spencer began dancing as soon as he heard the music. He even gave me his hands and danced a long with me for a few moments. I think I need to find more kid music? I try to have music on after we watch Sesame Street but I don't think he's fond of my 90's on 9 station...

Anyway, here is a great video for all mom's out there:



If anyone has more info about this group, please email me and give me the 411.

Why Crawl?

I really thought Spencer would possibly be crawling by now, though I know for me it will mean trouble as I will no longer be able to just put him down and leave him for just a second. Imagine my surprise as he has thumbed his nose at crawling and instead began pulling up in the crib and now on anything or anyone he can get his hands on! But even better (not for me!) is that he has no fear and will let go in order to stand on his own!! Yes, I think I may have a walker before he crawls even a little! Here's a little video of him in action. And yes, you can hear the shock and awe in my voice!




Amazing, isn't it?

Feet, feet, feet.

Someone discovered he has feet and that if he tries really hard...that they can go in his mouth! Don't believe me? See for yourselves:



Last week he also went 4-wheelin' with his Daddy:

Time? What time?

So I really thought I was going to get better at updating this blog, but as the title says, what time? It seems the time I do have is only enough to maybe get a meal made or a floor swept or mopped. Or I have a few minutes to just decompress! The house is in need of some serious spring cleaning. And yes, I know the mess won't go anywhere and so I need to enjoy Spencer...but I hate seeing the mess. Maybe I should try and talk Hubby into a once a month maid? At least until Spence is on a better schedule!

Speaking of, I thought we were headed to sleeping all night but he's regressed. He still wakes up every couple of hours to drink a bit and pass gas. Who knew passing gas could wake a person up?? Poor guy will kick and scream if the gas don't come out just so! Which is amusing during the day but frustrating at 3 in the morning!

Let's talk about what Spencer is up to as he comes up to the 4 month mark:
He is desperate to sit up and also loves if you stand him up.
He's still rolling but not all the time.
He's super curious and cautious around new faces.
He can grab things that are in front of him with accuracy!
Everything he grabs goes straight to his mouth!
He loves TV, which I don't usually have on for him! I will have it on for me and he will twist his head to watch! Need to break him of that!!
He's slowly growing out of 6 month clothing and fitting into some 9 month items!
And lastly we think he may be teething but just can't see any teeth nubs...maybe the ped will have better luck!

Here is some video of him very upset but rolling over none the less:



And a video I like to call No-no:
