Half a year! Spencer is a happy/busy boy.  He is sitting up like a champ and is getting into full crawl position! He is starting to scootch himself around! He is getting more curious about the world around him.  He loves Nixon and "keets" 

He loves to eat (anything and everything.. Like his dad!) especially likes to do it himself with finger foods and is starting to figure out how to work a spoon!

he got his first tooth and his second a couple days later! He is fun to play with, and it is easy to get him to giggle.  The girls love to make him laugh!

This month Grandma Tami took us to dizney on ice "Frozen" it was awesome! The girls had so much fun, they got all dressed up and even asked me to paint their faces! We loved it! Spencer really liked watching all the lights and music too! He loves to be a part of anything that's going on! He never wants to miss out on the fun! 

We got to watch our niece Jordyn a few times this month! The girls love getting to play with her!  She is such a cutie pie! Spencer is starting to recognize her and smiles when he see's her! It is so fun to watch them play together! 

I was brave one day and took all 4 kids to the zoo! They did great and we all had a good time! (I may have looked a little bit like a crazy person at times with all of those little people)!

It has been a fun month full of growth for all of us! Having 3 kids is overwhelming at times.  I do my best to balance it all, and am constantly reminding myself to "slow down" and try to see things through their eyes.  After all kids' main goal in life is to have fun! Who couldn't use more fun in their life?  Love all 3 of my littles! 

MONTH V

Spencer is growing up right before my eyes! This was a big month, he started sitting up by himself (for short amounts of time) and "baby talking" to everyone.  The girls love to make him laugh.  He is loving baby food (especially squash/sweet potatoes/applesauce and bananas) he has also been taking bottles of formula when I'm not around which has been nice for me (longer get aways!) 

We got to babysit my cute niece Jordyn one afternoon (she is 2 months older than Spencer) and it was so much fun to watch them together, they look at each other and try to eat each other as they roll around and wiggle right past each other.  So entertaining (for a stay at home mom at least.. Ha ha) 

Me and my mom got brave one day and bundled all the kids up and took a trip to the zoo and I'm sure glad we did because we were the only ones there and the animals were awesome! 

So here is 1 downside to growing up with 2 older sisters.. Sorry Spencer we had to do it, you make such a darling mermaid! Ha ha.. 

Nixon isn't usually allowed upstairs but we were having a big hail/thunderstorm and he was so nervous grandma let him come up for a while (he kept running and hiding in grandpa's closet, poor thing) anyways I noticed how well he camouflaged in grandma's kitchen.. He is in his natural habitat.. Ha ha

It has been a cold and gloomy month but Eliza wasn't going to let that stop her from looking like a rockstar! 

So when grandma asked us (me and the kiddos) if we wanted to come down to st George with her at the end of the month we were more than excited! Yay for the sunshine!.. And Jeff ended up being able to come down for a couple days as well! We love St.George!

I am so lucky to get to be their mom! I'm looking forward to watching them grow up.. Love love love my family! 

Nothing cuter than a freshly washed baby!!!
