Beach Trip!






Spencer, Josh and myself have enjoyed some wonderful time at the beach these past two weeks! We have had great weather, spent some great time with family and friends, went shopping and played on the beach! Spencer has really taken to the beach and loves to catch baby crabs and seashells! We are very blessed to be able to spend our summers with our family and so much time with Spencer! Here are a few pictures. I will post the rest on our shutterly share site. If you are not a member and would like to be, just leave a post and I can add you!

18 month checkup!

It's hard to believe that our little man is 18 months old! Time has gone by so fast. Spencer is talking up a storm. He says so many things including "I'm busy, I'm eating, please, thankyou, he knows all of his close family members name. Although Corey is officially Doo Doo!!! He communicates so well that even his doctor today commented on his great vocabulary and said that he could tell we have have been working with him. As far as his stats go, he weighed 29.96(90%), his head was 19.75(95%) and his height was 32 inches( 65%). He did great with his shots as well. We are looking forward to spending some time at the beach together. I will post some pictures up as soon as I get a chance. I have realized that with a 18 month old there is not alot of personal time!!! But I am loving every minute of it!

Summer is Coming!

I know it has been way to long since I have posted but I have been super busy with the end of school, Spencer, cheerleading started back up and of course, spending time with Josh. We had a wonderful Memorial Day spending it with friends and family and we also have celebrated Josh's 28th birthday! Spencer is nearly 18 months old and we cannot believe it! We are about to move him into a toddler bed and maybe thinking about potty training him. He is going through a mommy phase, which I love but it can be very frustrating, when Josh is doing nothing and I am busy but yet, Josh won't do. It has to be me. Only me. Always me. I know one of these days I will look back and cherish every moment of Spencer being a mommy's boy but right now, I wish he would spend more time with Josh and I know Josh does too. We are looking forward to summer. This year we get to spend two weeks at the beach and we are hoping for some better sleeping patterns. Spencer has really gotten alot taller in the past few months and is staying around 29 pounds. We still have our little line backer. It is kinda funny. Every week that Spencer gets older, the more times people ask us when we are having another one. We have talked about it but right now we are so happy and so content with our family, that we are not wanting to change that. And to be a little honest and selfish, I am not ready to share Spencer at all!!!

Are Cribs for Mommy's Too?

This is a glimpse into my life the past few days...


Spencer had to be put in steriods for his breathing problems. The only problem is is that he hasn't been sleeping good. We have had nights where he has been awake until 1130 and he wakes up very early . Steriods do tend to cause sleeplessness and insomnia, which we have been seeing full force. So Tuesday night, Spencer decides to go to bed at eight, which was great! However, he woke up at 10 ready to play. Therefore we had to stay up with him, mainly me, so Josh could get some sleep for work and plus he only wanted me and not his daddy, until 230, when he finally feel asleep. Good, right? NOPE! He wanted me to hold him the entire time. So we ended up sleeping on the couch and eventually I moved to the floor. So all in all, I got about two hours worth of sleep. Can it get much worse, YES!!

Last night, started out the exact same way, except now Josh and I are argueing because we are frustrated and tired and again Spencer only will let me put him to sleep. So I deal with the fact that it is probably going to be another sleepless night. I get Spencer to sleep on the recliner and that works for a little while but then my neck starts hurting so I move to the couch, which goes fairly well. He is so asleep that I decide to try to put him in his crib. As soon as he is laid down he wakes up crying, so what do I do? I jump in the crib with him. Cuddle up in a fetal position and put him back to sleep. So there I am, stuck in his crib. Everytime I try to get out, he wakes up looking for me. So I decide to sleep there and have Josh bring me a pillow. After about an hour, I am still awake because cribs are not made for mommies. I slowly work my way out and it works! So I get into bed with my husband after about an hour and a half! Spencer sleeps until 430 and then Josh takes him to the living room and sleeps until the alarm goes off at 6:00. So to answer my question, no cribs are not for Mommies. Hopefully tonight will be better. Yesterday was his last day on the roids(funny sounding), so maybe things will get back to normal soon! I hope I am not the only mom who has done this!
