Bath Times Are More Fun

It has been a while I know.  As we near 8 months, I know 8 months, Spencer has realized he loves bath time.  He can't get enough of the splashing and squirting toys.  

Look at that toothless grin!


He loves to lay back and kick his feet.

Love that post bath hair do!

As you can see there is a nice skidmark on his nose.  Our little man has become quite the daredevil and isn't afraid to take things on head on, literally.  He is faster than we could imagine and gets into anything he can get his hands on.  We are also to the pull up stage.  Anything that will support his weight becomes something to help him stand...this includes poor Winnie.

Cheesing it up.

A face of innocence.

Not a lot of news.  We have purchased the plane tickets for Christmas in Kentucky this year.  We are there the 23rd - 27th.  Not as long as we would like, but we are really excited to take the little man back to meet the family.  We have gotten our first snowfalls the past couple of days.  It seems crazy this happened in September!  I am getting excited as hunting season is only a couple of weeks away.  I won't be up as long as I like thanks to the new job, but fun will be had.  We hope all is well with everyone and will be back to post more soon.

We've got a crawler!!!!

The time we have been awaiting and at the same time dreading is upon us.  The kid is mobile.  We have baby proofed the place as he likes to get into anything he can shimmy over to.  It has been a bit and we have had some fun things happen.  
A couple of weekends ago we all went to Jisun's house for an end of summer party.  It involved games, food (lots of food), beverages, and not a lot of sleep.  The Roschs, Hecks, Brauns (yes Sarah you are included in that), and Townsends all crashed Jisun's house.


Spencer and I enjoying some shade from the scorching sun.  Hottest weekend of the summer.


This was Sarah's game.  It involved walking, water, balancing, and hand eye coordination.  Some the group lacked some of these skills.



This is pretty much photo evidence of Murph being assaulted by Joe, but she had it coming to her.  No one left the yard without being water ballooned.


The morning after the morning after.  Spencer was the best looking of the bunch enjoying his Baby Mum Mum.  A great invention, the dissolving cracker.

We did take advantage of the long weekend and got a trip to the zoo in.  Spencer was very good with the animals being a healthy distance away.

As you can see when the petting zoo was an option he didn't seem to enjoy it as much.


Mimi's Jeep as been a huge hit with him lately.  He loves standing up and honking the horn.

In other news, I started a new job recently.  A company hunted me down and made me an offer I couldn't refuse.  Other than that Spencer has passed the 7 month mark.  Month #8 will be right around the corner.  Talk to you all later.
