Happy 5 Months Spencie!

Spencer turned 5 Months old on August 3rd! Can you believe it? I can't :-) He is growing up so fast and I still cherish every day with him. He amazes more each day and there is not a day I don't look at him and think what a miracle he is! He is growing like a weed and is now well over 17lbs. What a fun age! Spencer is so inquisitive now, he looks at everything and wants to touch or grab anything he can reach! He is also starting to sit on his own for longer periods of time which makes playing with his toys even more fun these days. He loves to laugh and now that he has found his voice he is blabbering much more! Spencer still has no teeth (which I am okay with), and we hope to start solids next week. Bill and I like to call Spencer a turtle these days because he does NOT roll! Again, totally okay with this but find it so strange since he was rolling months ago and now chooses not to do it at all.


Poor little guy has been fighting a stomach bug since we got back from our trip to FL. Another reason we have postponed solids for the time being. He has been such a trooper though it all and I am happy to report he is now back to eating a full 6-7 ounce bottle at every feeding! I think we almost have this darn virus beat! I have cleaned and re-cleaned all his toys. Washed his car seat cover, all his blankets, changed his crib sheet, you name it, I have cleaned it!

We have been keeping busy with playgroups, lunch dates, and even tried our first music class. Unfortunately, I don't have too many pictures to share from these activities because our camera broke! Actually it broke a few weeks back and we bought a camera for our trip to FL but it proved to be horrible once we loaded our pics to the computer. So, after a few weeks with very little pictures, we are back and making up for lost time! Here are a few pics from the past few days. Still getting use to this new camera so no judgements :-) I have a lot to learn!
