Growing Up

Spencer just continues to grow! Here's a little update on him:
About 2 weeks ago he came down with a croupy cough. I ended up taking him to Good Night Pediatrics after Jon came home from work. No antibiotics, but we had to do breathing treatments with him for about 4 days. He finally got both of his bottom teeth in. He's a much happier baby now that they're here (and I'm a happier mom)! He's also got to try rice cereal, which he really likes. This was his first time trying it and you can tell that he's pretty excited about it.
And I just gave him sweet potatoes today. He didn't like them so much, but I think that he may like them more if I warm them up a little bit. He tends to like things on the warm (if not hot) side.
(I thought he was still cute, even when he was crying.) He can't quite crawl, but he wiggles and squirms all over the place. He can slowly, but surely, get to where ever he wants to go. He does get up on all 4 and rock, but he hasn't quite figured out how to move his hands yet. He can finally consistently sit up by himself.His most recent trick is sitting himself back up from crawling position. I took him to the doctor yesterday for his 6 month check-up. He weighs 17 lbs and is 28 in long. The poor little guy had to get 4 shots, but he got over it quite quickly. (I'll be taking the girls in for their flu shots tomorrow and I'm sure that it won't go so easily!)
We all love having this happy little guy in our home!

So cute! We had to do breathing treatments with Kenna. She was a bit older so she got to have a dum dum at the same time...hehe. Congrats on the move! Let us know, well, Kev if you need anything.

I'm so happy for you! I will miss you guys though. I have enjoyed getting to know you. I can't wait for the day when we can be in our own home! Not too much longer hopefully! Lucky!!! :) Let me know if you need any help. We will be back in town the week after Christmas-if you're still here we'd be glad to help out.
