6 Months Old!

Spencer had his 6 month check up this past week and is growing healthy and strong. He weighed 16 lbs. 9 oz. (about 50%) and is 27 1/4" long (75%). Spencer is completely fascinated with our food and loves baby food, but his body doesn't. I've had to back off of it because he always has a hard night when he has had the cereal and veggies. He loves his sippy with water and gets mad whenever we drink in front of him. He is also rolling more and sitting up on his own. He is very vocal too. Parker calls him a little chatterbox. Spencer also growls as he falls asleep, so we also call him "Growly Bear." The best part is that he reaches out for us now. You can't help but feel loved by that! We are so excited to have our first Christmas with him. Parker suggested we let him open the first gift Christmas morning. Parker also told me that having Spencer around felt "like a dream!" It made me smile. We can't wait for Christmas!
