My First Joke!

I played a joke on Mommy and Daddy over the weekend!

They've been pestering me to walk now for weeks. So, I stand up...toddle along a little ways (which is about 2 steps unless daddy tricks me!). Then I realize that crawling is faster and I stop to go back to crawling. It is practical and it works.

Saturday night, they were going on about me walking again. I had been toddling around holding onto daddy's hand. I got bored of that so I sat down. Mommy came into the room and they were talking about my walking. Daddy said, "Rise, Spencer!" and I stood up. Daddy said, "Walk, Spencer!" And I took a step. And then another. And another! I went about 20 steps around the living room -- laughing and clapping the whole way to the sheer amazement of my parental units!

Like they know what a Spencer can do!

Daddy got the camera. I sat down. I looked at him like, "What? You want a repeat performance?" He didn't have any cheesecake, so I just smiled.
