Spencer David

Spencer is the newest edition to our family and he has been a lot of fun in the short time he has been here.
We just celebrated Spencer's first birthday. I cannot believe how quickly the time goes. He is starting to walk, but it will probably be a little while before he is running with his big brothers. Spencer had no problem figuring out what to do with the cake! He loves food and is pretty good about eating anything we give him. He wasn't very interested in opening the presents and Jake took all his presents away so he really didn't get to play until the next day.
Here is the cake that Spencer got all to himself. I didn't think it would be so big, but oh well. I am sure he liked it. Spencer is kind of our little marshmellow because he is kind of round and soft. He is cute though and I love to hug and kiss him. He is interested in anything his brothers are doing. When the boys are wrestling with Dad, he tries to join right in. He is mellow compared to the other boys right now, but we will see how he is when he starts running around. He is starting to get into things more and being more determined, but he is also very patient, which is good since Jake is always getting into things. Whenever I am in the room Spencer thinks that I need to hold him. He had gotten very clingy, which I hope he outgrows soon. The other boys weren't that way. He likes to play pat-a-cake and blows kisses. He's got 8 teeth right now and is working on getting 4 molars. He likes to snuggle and is such a cuddly baby, even now. He likes to be srapped up in blankets and sung to. He also crawls around on the floor under our kitchen table looking for food that has been dropped on the floor. Who needs a puppy! Bouncing is probably one of his favorites. He has a jumper thing that he can bounce in for hours. He usually bounces until he falls asleep, then wakes up and jumps some more. We love having him in our family and we are looking forward to all the fun times we have ahead.
