Favorite Things

Spencer is quickly leaving the newborn stage as he begins to discover new things he can do. Here are some of his latest feats:

He has found out how to get his hand to his mouth and loves sucking it, as you can see.




Even though he's still wiggly, he likes standing up and stretching out his legs.


And, to our amusement, he loves these cards with the stripes and checkerboard. A nurse gave them to us, telling us that babies like the contrast between the black and white. They really grab his attention for a long time and he gets excited and smiles at them.



Tummy time is getting better all the time.



And, of course, he likes playing with Daddy. His biggest grins are at people, rather than the camera, so that's the reason for the side shot.

Thanksgiving

We are so grateful that we got to go to Michigan for Thanksgiving! It was wonderful to see everyone there and to spend the holiday with family. Spencer certainly got lots of love and attention, and Daniel and I even got to slip out for a date Friday night!

Steven is a pro at being an uncle

Grandma and Grandpa Jensen made sure to get their turns to hold him too!!

Daniel was able to bless Spencer on Sunday, November 25 in the branch that he grew up in. Spencer was so quiet during the blessing and saved all the spit-up for later, during Sunday School, where he nailed Daniel. There was no warning: one moment he was peacefully sleeping and the next he spit up more than I've ever seen before! Daniel's suit is now at the dry cleaners.

With Great-Grandma Rinker, who made the blessing outfit for Daniel and his brothers to use for their blessings.
