Funny Video

There's not much I need to say about this, except for that the noise really is coming from his mouth. And you might want to be careful if you're watching it at work.

I'm Back

Daniel finally found the monitor of his dreams, which went on sale last week, so I now have mine back and am up and running again. I enjoyed seeing what everyone else did for Easter, so I thought I'd share ours. We had a wonderful dinner with my brother and sister, Neil and Jenny, with some of the food even prepared the night before (a great feeling for me since I didn't have to rush anything at the last minute). We had a delicious ham (thanks so much, Kristy, for the suggestion!!), mashed potatoes, green beans, a yummy spinach salad made by Neil, and a yellow cake with orange glaze for dessert. We enjoyed a walk to the temple before the sun went down and then came back and let Spencer entertain us until it was time for his bath. Easter usually sneaks up on me so I don't always fully appreciate it, but I was able to prepare this year, in addition to the food, with quality scripture study the week before as well as a nice Family Home Evening lesson. After having a child of my own my love for our Savior has grown even more as well as my appreciation for his glorious resurrection. I look forward to the blessed day when we will see Him again and am grateful for this wonderful holiday to celebrate His victory over death.

We attempted to get a family picture on Easter but didn't end up with one where we're all looking the right way. Here are the better ones:

Spencer's latest trick is sitting up!! He's still a little tipsy, but he's getting there. I was wondering if he really would sit by 6 months and it looks like he made it. It's amazing how much babies can learn in just a few weeks. Other big milestones he's reached these last few weeks are rolling over, both ways, scooting backwards while on his tummy, and his first teeth! His two front bottom teeth have poked through!

Spencer, Spencer, Spencer

First of all, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. Daniel is currently using my monitor while we're looking for a new one, so I haven't had easy access to my computer.

Second of all, I realize that the majority of this blog is about Spencer, so for those wondering what else we have been up to, you'll just have to keep wondering. Just kidding. Well, at least until I take the time to write something else. But I'm pretty sure that most of you checking this blog are most interested in Spencer anyway. So, without further delay, here are more pictures of our little pride and joy:


Thanks for the new hat, Gramma DeVocht!


Spencer discovered how to scrunch his nose last week, and has been doing it often ever since.

I love my rattle.




Nothing like a good book.


Hooray for bath time!
