The final countdown to becoming a family of 4

We only have a few days until baby girl Lyles will be joining our family, and so I wanted to try to post a few pictures of Spencer as an only child.  Oh, how his life will be drastically changing very soon!  He still seems very excited to have a little sister, and often tells me that he will help rock her to sleep or give her a toy if she's crying -- so let's hope at least one of those promises comes true in real life!

Spencer has been his usual rambunctious and fun-loving self lately.  He is now into a phase of making up events, like telling me this morning that he jumped over a fence at the park and ran away from his daycare provider, or that a wolf made the tiny scratch in his leg the other day.  But the longtime favorite still remains poop jokes -- I see those in my future for many more years to come.

Here are some pictures of his latest adventures!


Easter egg "hunt" at Dolores Park:

Fired up at China Beach with Anika (and Meghan and Alex and Eli during their trip to SF!)

Playing on pregnant mom's back after Izabella's baby naming ceremony:

Dyeing Easter eggs (but never eating the hard-boiled eggs- "That's disgusting!")

Bubble fun:

Can still convince him that homemade popsicles are "treats" - let's hold onto this for a long time, please:

Pool time at Finn's house during a mini heat wave:

Posing on the front steps again, but I think he might have finally forgotten about "saying cheese" in the morning:
