Our Little Man (05/05/14)

He just keeps amazing me.  He is discovering his toes which is fun.  Although he had tried to roll over a couple of weeks ago, (from his back to his side) that has come to a stop.  I’m sure it will start again soon enough.  He is loving the exersaucer (s).  He can now operate more of the toys on them; which started at his god parents’ house.  They had got an extravagant one, but was a bit more user friendly than the one we had.  And this past weekend we did garage sales galore for new baby items for him, which included a Tigger Jolly Jumper, a suspension exersaucer, age appropriate toys, and a few that are a little ahead of him, a portable high chair that is smaller to be his size for now, but expands for later, short answer, we bought a LOT of stuff.  All the new toys are tuckering him out.  As he learns new things he seems to look at everything else differently, learning about objects a little more.  He is getting ready to take over the world, lol.

After his nap.....fell asleep in the kitchen exersaucer.

We did a long road trip to the coast for Easter to see his god parents.  The drive went surprisingly well.  He is a great traveller.  I sat in the back with him to be able to aid him as needed, ie feed, turn on the fish mobile for entertainment to get a few more miles, hold his hand while he fell asleep, etc.  The trip was a great one.  We had a minor vehicle mishap in Kamploops.  The battery had died, but because the dash was doing some funky things we took it to a dealer to have a look at it.  That cost a fortune for one car battery that Deb could have installed.  Alas, at least we didn’t break down in a town that didn’t have an open shop, or on the side of the highway.  We do have AMA, but the wait times would have been horrible. 

This was on the BC Ferry on the way home.

While there, it seemed the ocean air was a sedative for Spencer.  He slept most of the time.  We were lucky if he was awake for an hour at a time, then down for a 3 hour nap.  On the way back we also swung down to the south of BC to visit my sister and her family, and stop by Fort Steel.  It is still in winter season, but it was a nice stop to see the changes there from when I was there last, years ago.  As soon as we hit the Alberta boarder though, Spencer was AWAKE.  He still travelled well which was great. 

Of course we continue with the smiles card photos.  Here are some of the latest and greatest. 

PS: He chats up a storm when in the mood, which seems to be fairly frequent lately.  He makes a myriad of different sounds and noises, ma when upset, ra when chatting, and the usual baby noises.  He is starting agoo lately, and his new one is razzing.  When I read about listening for babies making the razz noise, I didn’t know what they were talking about, as soon as I heard it, I knew it.
