June

Boy, have I been bad about blogging lately. Life is just busy, busy, busy when you are chasing a 13/14 month old around everywhere. Nana Stonehocker came and stayed with us for a whole week, but somehow, we managed to not take a single picture! This is becoming a fun summer tradition for both Spencer and Nana. She came up for a week last year when I went back to work and she couldn't wait to get some of that one on one bonding time again.

Spencer cracks us up each and every day. He loves to make people laugh. Example: here he is with Fergie's toy bucket on his head while he plays...just for fun!

He also thought sitting in his race track would be a good idea. Not sure if he was expecting/hoping that it would spin around with him in it too.

Cousin Gage had a birthday this month.

And we got to play with Grampa Scott and the Coke Balloon...although he wasn't that thrilled. Last summer he was fine with balloons, this year, he is a bit more tentative.

Other Stuff in May

I am really behind on blogging and I can't even really remember what happened and when with all of these pictures I have staring before me. But in the big scheme of things, it doesn't really matter. Just that we had fun! We were lucky enough to have my step-sister Lisa and Uncle Kurt visit us in May (although unfortunately not at the same time). Neither had met Spencer in person yet, so it was very exciting for me. I wish I had a picture of when Spencer met Kurtie, because it was pretty much the sweetest thing ever. Went right into his arms and nestled in on his shoulder like, ahhhhh, here's my uncle.

It was pretty much the same with Auntie Lisa, who he has skyped with, but never met "for real." I think the adoration was mutual, as he didn't leave her lap most of the time.
Cousin Jonah is hanging out too. We are so lucky this branch of the Marshall Family moved back to town so the boys can spend so much time together. Jonah let me know that: spencer is a good baby. We agree!

And then there was the great oatmeal incident. As we've entered the 13th month, a certain toddler is starting to get an independent streak. Mommy feeding him oatmeal was UNACCEPTABLE, so rather than pick a fight about it, I just let him go at it. So dainty at first.
But it didn't last long.

We also had Memorial Day in May...but we did a big, fat NOTHING because the weather sucked so bad. I was pretty upset about it too...seriously, this rainy, gloomy weather has got to stop! The first few days of June have actually been pretty nice, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed we might actually get to go camping, or swimming, or many other fun warm weather activities.
