Spencer is Toddling!

I haven’t posted much about Spencer lately because I’ve been waiting to make the big “he’s walking” announcement. Man that boy is stubborn and only wants to do things on his own terms! We thought he’d be running around months ago! I guess having a big brother that likes to “help” you walk, which really involves crashing you at some point, probably helped Spencer decide crawling was safer. Well, he’s finally walking about 90% of the time, and that has only happened in the past week.

Spencer is also quite the talker. He loves to chat and be a part of the conversation. He sings along whenever there is music or if Alex and I are singing. He even starts singing and “asks” Tim to sing along at night when he’s putting Spencer to bed. He loves books and loves to read. I got lucky and got a video of him reading one of his truck books the other day.

We are having so much fun watching Spencer develop his own personality. He is definitely more mischievous than Alex was, but he’s so darn cute about it! He knows he’s not supposed to do something and will look at us to see if we’re watching … and do it anyway! He is in to everything and keeps me on my toes.. Thank goodness Alex helps me watch out for him. Alex loves that he and Spencer can really play together and even told Spencer the other day, “I love playing with you.” How lucky am I to see these moments first hand every day?

Spencer is such a Daddy’s boy! We finally got to the point where we could just lay him in the crib, so he starts cuddling up to Daddy and falling asleep on him. Daddy can’t say no to that!

Monkey see, monkey do … Spencer thinks all of Alex’s ideas are the best ideas.

A quick video of Spencer reading, bouncing, and walking!
