BIRTHDAY!

Today is April 1st.  And all Spencer-efficinados out there should know... TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!  And yes, this means, I'm officially TWO!

And do you know what birthdays mean?  Ooooohhhh  yea!  BALLOONS!

And Mommy and Daddy just happened to supply them!

They are lots of fun.  Daddy got me an Elmo balloon.  Mommy got me Elmo, Big Bird and Cookie Monster!  ...or was it the other way around?  Hmm...

They always try to float away.  Then mommy and daddy have to go get them.  Then they float away again...

Ideally, since Mommy and Daddy gets them for me, I can just cuddle up with Mommy and save me the time...

Kiss the balloon or kiss Mommy?  That is the question...  Of course, I'm kissing the BALLOONS!

Now on to the rest of my prezzies!   What did YOU send me?!?

Green Day?!?

Corned Beef, cabbage and silly hats.  Is that what St. Patrick's Day is all about?  I can kind of understand the silly hats, but corned beef and cabbage?  Here I thought he was from the Land of the Potato -- which is mommy's favorite food!

 

Personally, I love chips -- and those are made from Potatoes.  Give me a good Fish'n'Chips any day -- and since I share, mommy and daddy can have the fish part!

At least I can tip my hat to the occasion!

Oh, and where is *my* Guinness?

Raiding Mom's Purse

If you're going to go out for a night on the town, it's very important to bring with you fashionable accessories.  And when it comes to fashion, I always turn to Mommy!

...and in this case, steal her purse!

I'm not sure how she carries it everywhere.  It's big and kinda bulky.  It's awkward to move with.  I have to walk funny just to keep it from falling off my shoulder!

Then there is the problem of what to do with it once you get somewhere.  You can't just leave it on a chair as someone is likely to come along and mistake it for a plaything!

But that's ok, as long as you're me.   After all, it is supposed to be a plaything now, isn't it?  If it wasn't, there wouldn't be all these cool things inside of it!

Like, my favorite -- Lipstick!
 

Yummy!

Cuteness Study #1

It's time for another mention of cuteness, and hence, a brief study in ME!  After all, when it comes to cute, who better then to demonstrate it!  Just ask Grandma!!

The traditional "I didn't do it." look.  How can you not trust a face THIS cute?

This is my "Please, it's too early!" face.  I'm not happy.  My hair hasn't been done up.  And I'm still in the same pajamas -- shouldn't I have more and different pajamas, you know, like a different pair for every day of the week?

Yes, I'm even Cute Without Pants!  Ha ha.

Riding in the Car

Riding in the car is fun -- I get to see all sorts of things outside going past at a high rate of speed!

That said, sometimes daddy's driving scares me!

Bathtime

Now, I like baths.  It gives me great pleasure to splash around, chase bubbles and in general, get my parents soaking wet!  But now?  They've combined one of my favorite things with one of my least favorite activities -- BRUSHING MY TEETH!

Talk about ruining a little guy's fun!!!

Milk!

Ok, so I'll admit it -- I still drink milk out of a little bottle.  It's not that I don't drink out of cups, or cartons, or that I don't know how to use a straw -- there is just something so downright niiice about a good bottle of milk!  

Think of it as a little Spencer-Tradition!

Personally, drinking milk with mommy is my favorite!

I just wish she'd do something about her hair.  I really don't like it when it gets in my way!  Though, that said, I think I might look good with dark hair...

 In any case, I do love milk!

Yum yum!  It's almost as good as chocolate!

Typical Saturdays!

People often wonder what I do early on a Saturday morning.  The truth is, I'm exceptionally busy most days, and Saturday is certainly no exception.  I love starting my Saturday Mornings with a quick game of catch!

That is usually followed by "Where is my breakfast!  Huh?"

After breakfast, I highly recommend a bit of Elmo while I digest!

Then a brisk constitutional with a giant ball.

Then, it's off to explore.  Oooh!  Look what my latest exploration found -- something that has a picture of Santa Claus on it!  Sure, it was in the recycling bin, but who knows -- it could be for me!

...or, it could be empty...

The tag definitely does say "To Spencer" on it!  What'd you do with it!?!

Oh well, might as well go read a book!

Upsidedown World

I've decided that I like looking at the world upside down!

It gives you a much different perspective.   You feel more down-to-earth.  You feel more in touch with the planet.  The fact that you are mooning the camera -- well, that's just an added bonus!

Daddy showed me a picture of uncle Bruce doing the same thing when he was 2 when he was in California.  I hate to say this, but I'm much, much cuter!

Shoes

Anytime you want to go outside the first thing you must do is put on your shoes!  I've seen mommy and daddy do it a million times.  You just stick this thing on your foot and presto!  You have on a shoe!

Hmm....maybe this isn't quite right...

And even with the shoe on, how do I take off my pajamas?
