Be Mine

Dave and I are sentimental today because it was last Valentine's Day that we had our first doctor's appointment to confirm that there was indeed a baby on the way. What a year this has been. Spencer wishes you all a very happy V-Day!

Four Months Old...Already?

Spencer turned four months old on the 6th. He saw Dr. Bayer this week for two vaccinations (these were the easy ones—not the ones that made him feel so bad last month). He weighed in at 17 lbs, 10 oz and was 27.25 inches tall. His weight is in the 95th percentile, and his height is greater than 95th. Somebody notify Mack Brown of his future recruit! Spencer really showed off for the doctor—demonstrating "tummy time" and holding his head up like we had never seen before. (Do I sound like an obnoxious mom??) Not to state the obvious, but he's getting so big!

I know last week I said things were getting more predictable, but I should've known better. The only predictable thing in Newborn Land is that once you think you have something figured out, it changes. Spencer has gone back to waking up to eat twice between 7 p.m. and 4 a.m. Considering his stats, maybe it's just a growth spurt. I miss that extra stretch of sleep, but I cherish our quiet time together in the middle of the night, too.

We went to Pine Fork last weekend to see Pop's new tractor. Dave had a blast working on the land. I had a blast taking a long, much-needed nap! And Spencer had a blast hanging with Geep and Pop...and sitting on the tractor with Daddy.

Oh yeah—I uploaded a new Picasa web album. Well, that's it for now. I just wanted to get something out there. Blogging is tough for a perfectionist...
