Catching up...from Halloween to Hanukkah (and a few holidays in between)

Thanks to everyone for Spencer's wonderful new gifts.

He loves all of his new toys and clothes.

Here we are before my firm's holiday party

Hanging around...and hanging cords (high on the list of Spencer's favorites)

Visit from Grandma Carole and Papa Kenny

Halloween...it seems like so long ago now!

Where has the time gone? Spencer just enjoyed his second Hanukkah and Christmas and thanks to our wonderful families he has wonderful new toys and new clothes.

Spencer turns 16 months in a few days and moved into full blown toddler mode several months ago. He quickly passed from walking to running and now gets himself into everything. He particularly enjoys cell phones (only the real phones - toy phones don't cut it with him) and pretending to talk on the phone. He loves his toddler class at daycare. The teachers treat Spencer and his friends like little adults and he really has grown into a very interactive and extremely playful kid. We love taking him out on the town and now that he toddles around he has a new appreciation for activities.

We are spending the holidays at home in Denver and cannot remember a more relaxing and fun few days with just the four of us. Life gets a little hectic with Jon and I both working full time and our time with Spencer seems limited. We finally have a few days together without a long list of errands and activities to pack into a short weekend. Yesterday we went for a long walk in the park and played with Spencer in the playground. he loves the slide and the swings and running around chasing after other kids. Last night we took him to zoo lights and we all had such a fun time together.
