Trimming the Tree

We were invited to a tree trimming party at Dana's house. We met Dana at Kristina and Adrian's wedding in the Dominican Republic.

First Snow

I prepared for the possibility of snow by wearing my snowflake pajamas and Christmas bib. Do you think it worked?

My first taste of snow. It is cold but I think it might be fun. My funky hat keeps me warm along with my footed pj's!

Mama and me enjoying the snow. Don't worry, Daddy is taking the picture!

My Red Wings bundle me keeps me warm and safe from the falling snow. Thanks for the warm gift, Uncle Andrew and Aunt Ulana!

Happy Thanksgiving

I like chilling with Aunt Julie on Thanksgiving Day!

My first taste of food. I think I like sweet potatoes!

My Daddy is My Twin!

We wore almost matching sweater's for Spencer's best friend, Drew's, christening today. Spencer was such a good boy during his first visit to church. He enjoyed the party afterwards too at a real Irish pub. He was flirting with all of Drew's relatives and enjoying himself very much.

I Like Rice Cereal!

Spencer's first taste of rice cereal two weeks ago. He likes it so much, he grabbed the spoon and wanted to feed himself!


Daddy takes a turn at feeding him too. The bowl is almost empty just minutes later!



Spencer got the hang of eating very quickly. Here he is this week...recognizing the box already!


And here he is...eating the box before the cereal is prepared.

New Toy

Spencer really likes his new exersaucer. There are so many toys to play with, not to mention all the things he can put in his mouth. Make sure to call him on his cell phone which is just out of range of the picture. He likes to talk on the phone by eating it :-)

Our Vacation

We enjoyed our vacation to the Dominican Republic at the end of October. Kristina and Adrian's wedding was so beautiful. We were honored to be invited to attend. It was great catching up with them as well as Dianna and Chuck, not to mention all the new friends we made. It was hard being away from Spencer, but we managed. We just went to the poolside bar more often. :-)

We were lucky to leave the day that Tropical Storm Noal was approaching. It was raining, but it was still warm. We were happy to get home and see Spencer that night.
