Seeing Spencer

Eventually the sun will be something to avoid, but for the moment it's still a welcome sign of Spring.  

When you can't say many words but you're being very clear about the fact that you're ready to pack it up.  

When you can't look away, But you also can't watch.  

Exploring his independence.  

Yeah Daddy, here's your banana! Any more customers out there?  

Not a bad seat. Now to do my deep breathing and soak up some rays.  

When Mr. McQueen joins you for breakfast, you share your brownie.  

Storytime with Toby. Big brothers sure come in handy.  

Serious business.  

Door to door delivery.  

Hang on, Toby. I'll be right up as soon as I can get my foot over the side here. Oh darn. He's already down.  

As recent transplants from NYC (which considers itself to have quite a reputation for pizza), it feels a little weird that Spencer's first slice was in Jersey. But here we are. I set down part of a slice on the table and when I turned back around he was happily chowing down. Welcome to pizza, kiddo.  

Chilling. Chilling. Thinking about chilling.  

Getting in a quick workout while the weather is nice.  

Getting warmer (and lighter) but still a bit chilly out there.  

There's nothing so irresistible as a doo-dad.  

When you're listening to a suspenseful bedtime story, so you're biting your whole hand. But then you think someone might be looking at you. Oh hey! Can you believe this story? I can't wait to hear what happens next.  

Not the most death-defying balancing act, but fun none the less.  

It helps to be little, if you want to steal the balloon.  

Cutie! E-I-E-I-O  

Having fun showing me how it's done.  

It seems like the stretching is working.  

Smiling at me. Nothing but Blue Skies do I see.  

Hey there, sunshine.   

Playing with the light wall.  

I knew him well. [If you really commit to the acting, no one notices the props.]  

Gotta find a new ride... This one feels a bit too big.. and what big teeth it has! Thank Toby, but this one feels small... This one is just right. And yellow looks good on me.

Sharing some snacks with Cousin Harry. Suffice to say, this is where the real party is at.  

I don't want to go so far as to say we have the coolest toys, but I'm not sure how many other kiddos get to play with brains.
