Popcorn Popping

Spencer's new favorite song is "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree." He wants to sing it all of the time, and he is getting better at remembering the actions.

Spencer's Half-Birthday

So we decided to start a new family tradition and go out to ice cream on "half birthdays." Well, this was our first try and we ended up buying ice cream at the store and eating it the day after Spencer's half-birthday at Grandma Gosney's house. So much for the new tradition- but Spencer thought it worked out just fine!

So Spencer has a few new favorite things to do. He loves putting on big people shoes and trying to walk around in them- although he usually falls. He also loves trying to wear anything as a "hat."

Curious George

Spencer was Curious George for Halloween. Devon was the Man with the Yellow Hat. We decided Spencer should be Curious George because he is so much like him! He climbs on everything, and he is always trying to figure things out. He also loves to watch Curious George on PBS- it is one of the only shows he will sit through.
Happy Halloween!

Carving Pumpkins

The day before Halloween we had a pumpkin night with our friends the Whitakers. We carved pumpkins and ate dinner in a pumpkin.
This is Sadie. She is pretty girlie usually, but she dug right into the pumpkin. She cleaned one out all by herself!

This is Spencer, Sadie and Lara with the finished pumpkins.

So someone gave Spencer a sucker the other day. I was not too happy since I think suckers are just cavities on a stick- but I let him try some. Apparently Spencer has no problem with future cavities. We just brushed his teeth extra good!

Produce

Lately Spencer has taken a liking to produce. When he got a pumpkin that was just his size he carried it around all the time. A few weeks ago our friends came back to town with a huge bag of potatoes. Every time we go outside Spencer tries to grab a few to play with.

This is Spencer in Devon's old hat. He is carrying a green tomato in his pocket. I guess we know what he wants for Christmas this year!
