Catching Up

Well, we're all feeling better now. We enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL weekend. It was quite warm, but it was nice to be outside.


This was our anniversary gift to each other, a new storm door. It was a pain in the butt to put together, but the end product is great.

Watching Daddy mow the lawn.

Mason's "lucky lasso" aka dog leash.

Spencer is doing great. He loves everything that we have introduced to him: green beans, carrots, squash, peas, sweet potatoes, applesauce, bananas, and even the little Gerber puffs. He has his two bottom middle teeth. He is sitting up by himself. He loves to play with his toys: especially his Leapfrog drum, the star stacker, and the Leapfrog basketball hoop. He is sleeping well at night and taking a great morning nap and two shorter naps in the afternoon and early evening. He has also started having a little stranger anxiety. He doesn't like when Mommy leaves the room or if someone else is holding him (except for Daddy and Mason).

Drinking water from a sippy cup. Eating some Gerber Sweet Potato Puffs.

Mason has been working really hard on staying in his bed all night. We finally bribed him with more GeoTrax if he can stay in his bed for 7 nights in a row. He's doing good, only 2 more nights to go. He is also loving being outside. It was so hot on Sunday that we let him run through the sprinkler. He had a ball (and that water was freezing). He continues to make us laugh with the things he says. Here are a few of our favorites:
"It smells aweful."
"It's sweltering."
"It's all in the wrist."
"You're killing me."
"What in the heck?"
The things kids say.

We've had enough of these cute little bunnies eating all of our new bushes and flowers, so we purchased a HAVAHART cage and caught one the first night. Mason was sad that we had to take it away. I think he was hoping he could keep it as a pet.

It's going to be a busy month. We have a lot going on.
