Round 2

Spencer's sick again. This time it didn't quite make it to ear infection status. Instead, just a good 'ol sinus infection. So he's on antibiotics (again). Poor little guy is stuffy beyond belief and pretty miserable. Although, I do manage to get a laugh out of him when I'm suctioning his snot with the booger-sucker. What a weirdo :)

Doc said he should be feeling better in a day or two (phew!).

And...drumroll please...he weighs 15.5 lbs! What a monster!!

I lied...

About the pictures being posted over the weekend. Just couldn't find the time. Spencer, Poppy and I went to a spring training game on Saturday afternoon. We lasted 4 innings, which wasn't bad for Spencer's first baseball game. And on Sunday, we had Ovain's birthday party, which was super fun. I got home and fought the wind (literally, it was 40 MPH gusts) and went for my longest run to date since having Monkey - 6.25 miles. Go me! On that note, I am training for a 1/2 marathon again, on May 2. So wish me luck!

And now...the pics. Enjoy! He's getting cuter everyday!!
Of course, his first baseball game is well documented:


It was just a little too much:


Ready to party:

Monkeys!

Seriously?! A monkey-themed background?! Could this BE any better? For those that don't know us day in and day out, Spencer's other name happens to be Monkey. Don't know why - he sorta resembles a monkey when he hangs onto me. Regardless, that's his name, and we now have a monkey background. It will probably NEVER change again!

New pictures to come over the weekend. As an update, all's good on our front. Monkey's still sleeping awesome. He's also sitting up pretty good and talking up a storm. Ear infection seems to be cleared up. All in all, we got ourselves a good kid ;)

Daddy's in Vegas for the first round of March Madness cheering ASU on to glory. This weekend we're hitting up a Spring Training game on Saturday, and we've got Ovain's birthday party on Sunday at Castles & Coasters. Should be fun!

One Full Week!

Yup, one full week of sleeping from 8:30pm - 6:30am without a peep. He hasn't woken up once during that time. Can you guess how happy we are?! The first night, I woke up about 4 times wondering what was wrong. The second night, I woke up about twice. Since then, I've had some of the best sleep of my life! Spencer seems happier about it too!

Coinciding with this great sleep was also Spencer's first ear infection. Mommy and Daddy just knew something wasn't right with our little guy, so off he went to the doc on Tuesday. Sure enough, ear infection with no fever. Lucky we took him in when we did and they caught it pretty early. So, he's had his first dose of amoxycillin. Yum. Oh, but our trip to the doc did reveal one thing: Spencer weighs 14 lbs. Wow! He's a big 'un.

And, Uncle Doug has been visiting us this past week. We've had great food, and I know he's happy his trip coincides with Spencer's great sleep. We also had cousin Dana out hear yesterday, and she enjoyed holding and meeting Spencer :)

As always, pictures:
Is Daddy copying Spencer or Spencer copying Daddy?

Finally, a shot of me and my kid (even if he's not so happy here, he just woke up):

3 Months!

Spencer just keeps growing! He's 3 months old this week (on the 11th). He's finally moving out of the 0-3 month clothes and into the 3-6 month ones. I guess he's right on target! Yesterday we went to Sears for the 3 month pictures. And here are the highlights:

Daddy's little ASU fan:

Baby Jesus in a manger? Nope, it's Spencer:


And my personal fav. This is the look we get right before he decides he's going to scream bloody murder:

For your viewing pleasure...

I bring you Spencer, smiling, talking and attempting to roll over (I'll ruin the surprise: he didn't do it)

Busy Bees

We have all just been so busy lately, I feel like we don't have time for anything these days. Last weekend was a blur. Spencer got sent home from daycare early on Friday because he wasn't feeling too good (I won't go into details, it's not pretty). Mommy and Daddy had planned on going up to Flagstaff for the night and going skiing the next day, but started to think twice about it. A quick call to the doc reassured us that nothing was wrong with Spencer, and off we went. Spencer stayed with Nana and Poppy, and Mommy and Daddy had a fun night/day away. When we got back, we hit up an early St. Patty's Day party to show off Spencer to the work folk and had a nice family night at home Saturday. Mommy and Spencer then ran errands all day on Sunday while Daddy watched the Suns beat the Lakers (that was a shocker!). Sunday night we had all the local cousins over for Nana's lasagna (yum!) and a meet and greet with Spencer. Everyone was in LOVE with him (how could they not be?!) and we all had a fun time visiting and catching up. Up next weekend - Daddy's out of town and we're having a Spencer-and-Mommy-a-thon!

He's getting better in the Bumpo:


Daddy and Spencer chilling:


I couldn't resist posting this adorable one of Spencer with his super cute cousin Marti:




Oh yeah, he has to wear a bib all the time now. He's drooling like crazy and has taken to snacking on his hands. Both of them. At the same time. Classy.
