Spencer Christmas video

Clearly he is super advanced putting cardboard into his mouth. (But the video from our camera is obviously much better quality than compressed files from my phone!)

Merry Christmas!

Spencer turned 9 months in December, and had a lot of fun for his first Christmas.  He is officially crawling everywhere and getting into everything now - with a ton of personality of course.

Some recent footage

These videos definitely capture Spencer's personality:  Entertained by Tic Tacs (a strong parenting moment), random shaking of the head, and very excited to play football catch with Dad...

Fully mobile

It's a three-legged motion, dragging his left foot underneath, but Spencer is officially a crawler now!

Some random phone pictures

So much harder than it seems to get all the pictures in one place!

Practicing his standing up:

Gotta love baby photoshoots...

Io, Ami, Elam, Ava, Spencer, and David (not even all the babies at Anna's annual crab bday party --  Russell, Jeevan, Sam, and Lelia not pictured), but almost all these kids had sweet crab outfits to show off):

And back at home, of course Spencer is very fascinated with our Christmas tree, but can't quite pull it down.
