Wow he's 4 months old already!

My how time flies.  So a lot has happened in the past few weeks.  Spencer made a new friend as the Heck's had Sophia, their second daughter, just after Mother's Day.  Spencer turned 4 months old on the 26th and we have had some major milestones with that.  

We have a bottle holder on our hands!

Here is the first bite of that delicious cereal.

I guess it wasn't that delicious after all.

Spencer usually enjoys playing on his bear skin rug.  Here he is disagreeing with our decision to take the picture.

We had a doctors appointment on Tuesday.  The big 4 month check up and second round of shots.  He now weighs 13 lbs 14oz (55th percentile), measures at 25 1/2 inches (82nd percentile), and has a head circumference of 16 1/8 inches (36th percentile).  The doctor tells us he is on pace to be over 6 feet tall.  Sounds like he is getting some of the Townsend height gene that skipped my dad and I.  

On a side note congrats to Matt, Shelly, and Dane Z as baby deuce arrived today.  We are also excited as Mimi will be making another visit in the middle of next month and will get a bunch of time with Spencer as she will be watching him the days Chrystal and I have to work.

Our First Mother's Day

Being the wonderful husband that I am, I got up early with Spencer, fed him, and changed him so mom could sleep in.  Chrystal then woke up and came down stairs to a fresh bouquet of lillies.  She took over Spencer duty while I made a big breakfast.  She also opened her cards from Spencer(I translated his writing) and me.  Inside was a pair of tickets to see Aerosmith in Denver this August.  The rest of the day was spent relaxing as a family as I was too sore to do much after trying to reclaim my youth on the baseball field on Saturday.

My mom got Spencer a bouncer which he has taken to.  He loves it for about 15 minutes at a time.  After that, he is ready to be out of it and held.  

Woah, get that thing out of my face mom!

Did I stutter?

Oh now dad has the camera, here is my smile!

All in all Mother's Day was a success.  Chrystal has been trying her darndest to get Spencer to say mommy.  He is having none of it, but is very vocal particularly when we are on the phone or trying to pay attention to something other than him.  In fact he dominated Chrystal's Mothers Day conversation with Mimi.
