Happy Faces

One of the lasting memories of Grandma's place is how she tells me what a happy baby I am! So for her, we need to post lots and lots of happy pictures!

More Many Faces...

Indecision is my biggest issue when surrounded by loads and loads of toys. Which one do I try and break first? The butterflies, the birds, the elephants or something else?


Then, there is my "I'm Cute and You Know It" look. Sure, it is a bit of posing for the camera, but hey, for my fans, I'll do anything!

Let Me Out!

Let me Out! Let me Out! It's not fair chaining me into a safety chair!!!

Spencer's

I was in the Mall of America recently. On the third floor, far north side, is a really hip and cool shop called ... "SPENCER'S" -- They must have named it after me! It has all sorts of cool stuff. Funny t-shirts, strange toys and tons of heavy metal stuff! What's heavy metal anyways?

I'm the KING!

Yup. I'm the king. Daddy is just a regular jester!

The Many Faces of Spencer, part N+1

So, for today's installment, a couple of my faces. So, to start with, blissfully asleep!


Mommy will tell you, I don't spend nearly enough time blissfully sleeping. Especially at 2:00 am, which is my favorite time of the morning for a little cry just to verify that that someone else is there.

Then, I have excited! This is me playing with a new toy at Grandma's place...

Clearly, I'm a Super Star!

You can tell -- I have my own personal paparazzi. I had just gotten out of my bath and decided to go for a little crawl. And then, WTF!?! Someone shows up with a camera and takes a picture of me in my birthday suit!


This made me veeery angry. So I tried to grab the camera. But my arms were just too short, and the nefarious photographer once again, got away...

Everything is going Pear Shaped

...including me!

I curl up into this really cute little pear-shaped ball. Mommy thinks it is sooo cute. If she only knew. It is just me trying to moon the camera!

Teeth...

Well, the teething period has officially ended.

Today, my first tooth poked through my lower gums. And, in addition to my first tooth, I also had my SECOND one show up.

I brought this to daddy's attention by biting him. This is going to be fun!

Lost

I'm practically lost in this really big high chair. You can hardly see me at all!

My Favorite Game!

Little Spencers like me absolutely love to play games. My favorite game is when I get to be an airplane! Airplane lets me fly HIGH above the ground and see lots and lots of things that are going on. Then, I get to swoop around!

Going up and down is probably my favorite part of it. I laugh and gurgle very happily with the take-offs and landings...

My Dawg

At Grandma's place, I have this cute little dawg. I call him "Hopper Bopper" ('cos words that rhyme make me laugh) though his real name is Mister Hopps. He really likes it when you scratch behind his ears, and loves hugs!




I love my Hopper Bopper too!

.007

The name is Spencer, just Spencer. I'm secret agent .007. I'm suave and sophisticated. Blowing the smoke from the barrel of my gun, I always strive to be at the height of fashion.

Hummers

...and I mean the *cute* ones. You know, those little birds that flap their wings soooooo mega fast, I can't quite see them move. They are cool -- unlike those small trucks that posers drive that dump out all that pollution and destroy *my* environment. Grandma knows a place to get these hummingbird feeders and has a whole flock of these things that keep visiting, morning, noon and night!

Naptime!

It is also kinda cool to just go spend some lazy time, and my favorite thing to do is go sleep in the garden! On a nice sunny afternoon, I can go kip back and relax and see the flowers. Kipping, as mommy calls it, is one of my favorite past times, as long as I don't have to actually kip in my little crib!

Sleeping in a Big Bed!

Going to Grandma's place means sleeping in an unfamiliar bed. When I wake up early in the morning, I kick and scream a bit and then magically, I'm transported to this biiiiig and comfy bed that I share with Mommy!


Sure, the color is a bit pink and girly, but it is still very comfortable. It sure beats my little prison...er...crib back home!

QUACK!

Mommy quacks like a duck. I think it's funny! She can also go "bawk! bawk! bawk!" like a chicken. It's hilarious!

Daddy roars like a lion. It scares me and I start crying like a little baby. Oh, wait...

Peas?

I've graduated from white mush to what can best be described as green mush. Now, white mush didn't exactly taste like much. Green mush? It does have a cool side effect -- when i spit up, it is now bright green!


Yes, bright green. And I love to target it at daddy! Maybe if I keep it up, then I can add some color to his wardrobe!

Grandma!

Grandma is cool to hang out with too! She cooks all this food, but then they don't let me eat any of it. It is sooooo mean! I end up just sitting at the table staring at things like cinnamon rolls and steak. I just get milk and mushed-up stuff... BLEEH!

Grandpa!

Hanging out with Grandpa is always fun. He has this big fuzzy beard and is kinda like a giant teddy bear!

Over the Interstate...

...and Through Wisconsin
To Grandmother's House I go!

The GPS thingy knew the way
to navigate the car
through the long construction zones...

Funny, I still don't know what this "Wisconsin" thing is. I think mommy and daddy had ice cream there. I might have done a poo somewhere in the middle of it (hence, leaving behind *my* mark!). But otherwise? There doesn't seem to be much there. On the way back, the highlight of Wisconsin appeared to be French Fries.

So now I get to do some "catching up" on my little blog. And on lots of other things!

More of Elmo!

Yup. I love Elmo.

In addition to being really quite tasty, he's fun to play with. I can hang around with him and do all sorts of things. He's great to play catch with, he's an ideal mini-pillow. And I can even cuddle with him from time to time (assuming he's not too wet or dirty!). He is my best friend, well, next to mommy...


...and no matter what, *do not try to take him away from me!!!*

Sleeping on Mommy...

The best place to sleep is now, by far, on Mommy. You see, daddy is too bony. Mommy, meanwhile, is warm and comfy. (She'll even tell you she smells better too!) I've now taken to falling asleep on her whenever possible, as, well, its the best place!

Car Shopping!!

I went looking at new cars yesterday and found this really cool orange one. It was this cool lovely orange that you couldn't help but to notice. It had nice lines. And while I would love to have one, for some reason, I don't think my seat would fit into the thing. So while cool, it's definitely not well designed for a Spencer!

The Many Faces of Spencer, part N

Yes, more faces to get to know me better... Daddy snapped these while I was out playing. The first is simply me being mega happy. You can tell by the Cheshire-cat grin. Sometimes, it even glows in the dark!



And, of course, when I get tired, there is my favorite thing in the whole wide world -- simply, "Hold me!" Here, the sad, puppy-like eyes and the widdle curled up lip give it away.

Cousins ... AGAIN?

Wow. More cousins came to visit me! They ate pizza, which is okay as it isn't ice cream! Rion was the cute one who tried to steal the attention from me, while Evan just simply loves to bear hug me. Bear hugs are fun!

Cute Photos...

Grandparents just eat this sort of stuff right up. And since I'm going to be seeing them over the long weekend, I figure, put up some cute pictures and hey ... maybe they'll give me ICE CREAM!




I can only hope!

What the Cool Kids all have!

Yup. I've got an iPhone! Sure, I had to steal it from mommy. Sure, I did it when she wasn't looking. And ok, maybe I don't know what you can actually *do* with it yet -- but I know all the cool people have one!


First, I looked up a couple of ice cream places on Yelp. Then, I tried to call grandma and grandpa to report the lack of iPhone abuse my parental units have been inflicting on me. Not having an iPhone is definitely the newest version of child abuse. It ranks right up there with not having ice cream!

Happy vs. Unhappy...

Unhappiness is one toy.


Happiness is TWO toys!
