A lot to catch up on...

Not too terribly long ago we had a good snow that stuck around for a bit.  We took the opportunity to bundle Spence up in his snowsuit and let him have it.  There wasn't a lot of mobility but he enjoyed playing for a few minutes.

Sort of a snow angel

OK I think I have had enough of this!

We have been introducing the little man to all kinds of new foods.  We have found only one he isn't a fan of, green beans.  He tries each one, makes a funny face, and then puts it down.  Fruit on the other hand is his favorite.

MMMMM bananas

Now that crawling is too easy, Spence has taken to the stairs.  Chrystal and I learned very quickly not to turn our backs on him as he can really motor up the stairs.

Busted!

We went over to my parent's house for Thanksgiving.  It was a packed house with my siblings, Christina and her two daughters, a friend of Kristen's, and a coworker of my dad and his son.  Christina bought Spencer an outfit and demanded he wear it for everyone.  She has good taste.

Ladies man

The kid is clearly about to fall into a food coma.

Helping with the Christmas decorations

We are headed to Omaha to meet Spencer's best friend Landon Troy this weekend.  We are also attending the yearly Christmas party and celebrating a 30th birthday.  We will squeeze in some time with Chrystal's family out there as well to make it a well rounded, busy weekend.  Pictures will follow.

Haircuts and Halloween

Chrystal set up our family picture shoot for the Christmas cards this year so that meant we needed to cut this kid's mane.  We went to Kiddie Kutters, a place my mom use to take us, for the big day.

We also had our first family Halloween.  Spencer is seen here in his lion costume which was complemented by Chrystal's witch costume and my wardrobe costume.  There are pictures of the three of us floating around on Erin's blog, we just forgot to get one on our camera.  The rocking horse Spencer is on was hand painted by Great Grandpa Johnny.  My mom found it and shipped it to him to have his touch added to it.  Spencer loves it.  Thank you for the gift.


He really loves it when grandpa makes the horsey sound.
