Lights!

Gazing at lights tops the list of Spencer's favorite activities so we went with our good friends Kerry and David and their two adorable girls Sydney and Isabel to the zoo lights. Even though we arrived at a time when Spencer usually falls asleep, he had a great time looking at the lights. Mom enjoyed playing around with her camera to get these nighttime pics of the gang! We thought you would also enjoy a few shots of Spency in his new snowsuit. We figured you can't be a hip four-month old in Colorado without a snowsuit and mittens!

The Best Holiday Gift Ever!

Happy holidays!

We have had such a great long weekend hanging out with Spencer. We pretty much didn't leave our house (other than to buy Jon a new 3-wood for Xmas!) and while we missed spending the holidya with all of our oiur-of-state families we enjoyed the rare time together.

Spencer had a month of many firsts - he now laughs the most adorable little giggle (sounds a bit like a dolphin), he rolls over, sits up (almost), holds onto a rattle and other toys, and he has just seemed to grow from a newborn to an interactive baby. We also took Spencer swimming twice - and he's a natural!

We received our first holiday gifts from Spencer. At his daycare he made us a handprint on a star cutout, and he also made a snowman portrait using his feet (on a blue piece of paper his teachers put white paint on his little tootsies and the upside down footprint are two snowmen!). What talent!

Happy December!

We are enjoying a snowy and cold Saturday morning with Spencer. It was a big week of firsts here. Spencer had his first cold and fever and we had to keep him home from daycare on Wednesday. I stayed home with him in the morning and Jon stayed home in the afternoon. By Wednesday night he was feeling much better, although he still has a little cough. We felt so bad for the little guy - he especially hated having his nose suctioned by daddy!

Yesterday we also had for the first time a babysitter for Spencer. Jon and I went out to dinner and then stopped at a local coffee shop where we watched local music. Even though we go out to dinner every Friday, it was different having time with just two of us - we really enjoyed the time together. I had just driven back from a meeting Colorado Springs and it snowed the whole way back - I didn't get back to Denver until about 6:00 and Jon was showing our babysitter Tiffany around the house. By the time we got to dinner I was ready for a glass of wine and a fun date with Jon!

I am off to a personal training session at the gym (need a little boost to lose those last few pregnancy lbs!) and then we're going to enjoy the afternoon together as a family. We're meeting up with friends tonight who have a little girl 5 days younger than Spencer...future prom date?

Have a great weekend.
