Basketball

Lately, Spencer has had a special love for basketball. He loves to go to the games and watch them "shoot the ball." He is getting pretty good at dribbling to!

counting

Spencer is getting better at counting. Whenever he sees a clock he likes to count the numbers. He can almost get to 10 on his own. He says a word for 7- but I have to say seven again and then he can finish to ten. If you listen really close hopefully you can hear it!

Hair at Last

So now that Spencer is almost 2 his hair is finally growing in. You usually can't see it because it is very blonde. We took these pictures just after bath so we could actually see the hair coming in. Hopefully soon it won't look like we shave his head anymore!

Devon's Birthday

Devon's birthday was a few weeks ago. I know I am way behind on our blog. Anyway, here are some pictures of the festivities.
Here is Spencer painting Daddy's birthday sign. Spencer loves any kind of art, coloring, chalk and of course painting. This was a great masterpiece.

Here are Devon and Spencer opening presents. Devon couldn't do it by himself, of course. Here they are opening "The Office" desk calendar and "Settlers of Catan." Devon will be teaching Spencer to play that game soon since I'm not a big fan!



This is Devon's "cake." It's actually "Scotcheroos" which are Devon's favorite dessert. We ate them and plenty of other junk food while watching the Super-bowl with our neighbors. It was a great day!

Nephi

We got a "Book of Mormon Reader" for Spencer for Christmas. We have been reading from it before bed. He learned to say "Nephi." It's pretty cute!

100% boy

Spencer loves balls. The first thing he does every morning is take every ball from his room to the living room. He plays with them all day long, and usually sleeps with one at night. He likes to gather all of the balls to the couch to watch "Curious George." I am sure they enjoy it as much as he does!

Christmas

We went to temple square over the Christmas holiday. It was so pretty. Spencer loved the lights, but mostly he just wanted to go "up" on the temple. The second picture with the temple reflection was taken by my sister. She is a better photographer than me!



I cannot believe that Spencer actually sat on Santa's lap. He was so stranger shy during our whole trip- but he was fascinated by Santa, he just stood in front of him with his mouth wide open for like 30 seconds. It was really cute!

Here are the traditional Christmas Eve pj's. Spencer was pretty excited about his "puppies", even though they were huge on him.

This is Christmas morning. Spencer loved his presents and was actually happier than I expected him to be. By the end he was pretty much done with the excitement. Next year I think he will be really excited!

These are some funny pictures of things Spencer did on our trip. Spencer loved listening to my sister's MP3 player. He was dancing around and singing "la la la" to "Kiss the Girl." It was so funny!

This is him lounging on Charlie and Aurora's new couch watching George- now this is the life! Spencer got to spend a lot of time with the Clift crew because we were looking for a car and trying to sell our car while we were in Provo. We ended up staying a few extra days, but we got everything worked out. Thanks for all who helped us so much!
