3 month smiles

March 13th, 2009 · 5 Comments · spencer

Our little man is 3 months old today! Its crazy how fast he’s growing. He is doing a little bit better on his head control, and he’s full of smiles. He’s an absolute joy. He is a very well mannered baby, easy going, and almost always happy. He sleeps well too. Thanks for being part […]

Tummy [Sleep] Time

March 4th, 2009 · 5 Comments · spencer

Spencer still struggles with holding his head up a little. He’s getting better, but really can’t do it for very long. He’s just a little big wobbly still. The recommendation is tummy time, right… to get them to practice raising their heads. We try that here. He has tummy time daily. The problem is that […]

Baby Shoes

February 26th, 2009 · 2 Comments · family, random, spencer

Dave’s mom has a fun tradition of hanging baby shoes on her Christmas tree as decorations. As such, she gifts each of her grandkids with shoes as an infant. Once they grow out of them, they are returned to her to take their place on the Christmas tree. I think its a pretty neat tradition. […]

Baby Swing(s)

February 23rd, 2009 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, spencer

I setup the baby swing for Spencer in the playroom last week so he could be entertained while I played with Bridget. I didn’t realize that it would change what we were playing… Upon seeing Spencer in the swing, Emma (Bridget’s doll) had to swing too. Bridget spent the next 10 minutes pushing Emma in […]

Blessing Portraits (and 2 month update)

February 16th, 2009 · 5 Comments · bridget, spencer

I finally got Spencer’s blessing portraits finished, and thought I’d share. He was very cooperative (unlike his sister was 3 years ago). He even flashed a smile for one of them. I still haven’t gotten my studio back together yet, so I just used a bean bag chair as a backdrop/baby poser… it worked well […]

Valentine’s Day!

February 14th, 2009 · No Comments · bridget, dave, family, random, spencer, tina

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Valentines Day has never really been a major holiday for me. Sure its nice to celebrate with the people you love, but I’ve never really thought that things needed to be extravagant or overdone. Maybe I’m weird or crazy – I don’t know. I think its a great excuse to celebrate, […]

Blessing Day

Last Sunday we blessed Spencer. It was great to have so many family members join us at church and in our home that day. Thanks to everyone who came, participated, and visited with us. We love you all! Jut for fun, I thought I’d post a picture of our family last Sunday as well as […]

Random

Just a bunch of random things that don’t really have another home… Spencer doesn’t like to be swaddled anymore. He gets mad. Really mad. The kid isn’t even 2 months old yet. I told Bridget that I hate being sick. She told me that I shouldn’t hate. Last week Bridget told us that she didn’t […]

Doctor in the house

February 3rd, 2009 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, spencer

You know those moments when your kids do something that maybe they shouldn’t do, or something that makes you just a little bit nervous, but they are so dang cute doing it that you can’t get mad? Well, we had one such moment a couple of weeks ago… Bridget is excited for the day that […]

Slurpee Run

January 27th, 2009 · 1 Comment · a day in the life, bridget, random, spencer

Its pretty rare to have a warm day in January around here… so when one came we decided to take the opportunity to go for a walk. One of Bridget’s favorite summer activities was to take a walk to the local 7-11 and get slurpees. So when I suggested a walk she immediately requested that […]
