Spencer's "Firsts"

I do not know the exact phrase but the statement that everyone always quotes about not blinking because you may miss something is so true these days! Spencer is growing more and more everyday and we are getting to experience new things with him daily! Because I am so behind in posting here is a picture montage of some of Spencer's "Firsts" over the past three weeks!

Bundled up for his "First" Doctors Appointment on 3-8-10

After Nurse Laura came to our home on 3-12-10 and we were introduced to the Moms on Call Program we had our "First" bath. Nurse Laura also showed us how and clipped Spencer's nails for the "First" time. It's almost time for us to trim them again but I am so nervous to do it on my own :-)

Daddy did not know who was traumatized more after Bath time, him or Spencer :-) Despite the crying in this picture, he does like bath time. It's getting out that he hates. I don't blame him, I don't like to be cold either!

Spencer's belly button was all healed so we got the go ahead to start some tummy time! This was our very "First" attempt. We are getting so much stronger each day.

We are not Irish but who doesn't like to celebrate St. Patty's Day! Spencer's "First" St. Patty's Day was also the day of his 2 weeks check up at the doctors. We almost reached our birth weight weighing in at 7lb 6 oz. And we grew almost 2 inches to 20 inches! Even though that only puts us in the 23rd percentile we are happy. Mom and Dad are not to tall themselves so as long as Spencer is growing we are happy :-)

"First" Day of Spring and "First" Dinner out with Mom and Dad! We decided to grab a quick bite to eat on Friday night 3-19-10! It was beautiful out so we were hoping to sit on patio somewhere but we were not the only ones with that idea. So, no patio, but we did go to Cinco and got Mexican for our first dinner out! We went in between feedings and even though we were nervous, Spencer slept through dinner like a champ and all was a success!

The past three weeks have been jammed packed with family visits, Spencer's Bris, doctors appointments, and much more but with all the hustle and bustle we have established a feeding and sleeping schedule thanks to Nurse Laura's help and are slowly trying to adjust ourselves to our new lifestyle. There are no words to express how much we love our little boy and are cherishing these precious moments with him.
