Where Did January Go?!?

Well, January has come and gone so fast! We have been super busy with school getting started back up and keeping up with Spencer. I had my 25 birthday and Josh took me out for an adult night. He gave me a wonderful printer for my birthday, which I am enjoyed greatly! Spencer is doing wonderful, as always. He is walking up a storm and trying new words all the time. He is now up to saying DaDa(his favorite), MaMa, Piper, Ball, Pops, Papal, More, Pease( which is supposed to be please), help(or his form of help) and BaBa(bottle). He has also learned sign language for help, milk, thankyou, more, please, and drink. We are currently working on Love! He is the joy of our world! Everything is centered around him. We are almost getting full nights of sleep every night! It will not be long before we have to move him to the toddler bed because he is going to start crawling out of his crib any day now. We have down lots of fun things this month, including The Children's Museum, Carolina basketball game and Bounce U! I am entertaining the notion of going back full time next year, which makes me said but we have to save more money, if we ever want a second baby! We also found out the Jennifer is having a little boy, so we don't have to worry about Spencer being the only boy on girls trips! Enjoy the pics!

Our Wonderful Christmas!

Our Christmas this year was a blast. Josh and I loved playing Santa for Spencer and he really enjoyed opening the presents! However, his favorite was the tissue paper. We were very busy over the holidays traveling from Winston to Yadkinville to Reidsville and to Sanford but we had a great time visiting with our families. Spencer was old enough this year to understand a little about what was going on, instead of just sleeping through the whole thing like he did last year. Spencer received lots of wonderful gifts. He got an alphabet train from Nana and Papa, DVD's from Aunt Amy and Uncle Corey, Thomas the Train ride along from Grandma, along with a portable DVD player. From Grandpa, he received a really cool basketball, football, baseball combo toy.From Santa, he received some Lego's and a sports toy. We gave him a zoo animal toy, a ball popup toy and some DVD's,new pacy's, new lovie and some socks in his stocking!
He is doing so good. He is walking up a storm, starting to try and run a little bit. He has successfully learned 3 signs(more, eat and please) and we are working on "Don't Touch" " Help" and "Thankyou." If anyone out there is contemplating teaching their child sign language I would highly recommend it. We also got Spencer completely off of his morning bottle but are still doing the night one. I mean really, he isn't going to take a bottle for the rest of his life, so what does it matter if he still has one now! As far as New Year's Resolutions go, Spencer's is to sleep through the night consistently! I was so excited when he told me that!
I am not at home right now but will post some pictures as soon as I get home! Happy New Year!
