The Spencer Twins

September 29th, 2008. Today is the kids’ 4th month birthday. Seems like yesterday they were born and we’d never get sleep again. But times have changed….for the better.

Happy 4th month birthday kids!!

I just got a call on my drive from a very ecstatic Mommy that the new trick that’s been consuming Brady over the weekend has been accomplished. Brady has successfully rolled once from his back to his stomach. Unfortunately a loud noise scared him afterwards so we don’t know yet if he’ll roll back.

Week Ending September 28th, 2008. Here are pictures for this week. Such big changes are occurring. Brady is trying to roll from his back to his stomach, even while sleeping at night. Corryn is more talkative than ever. She is also eating the faster, which is good to know when you’re feeding late at night, and she discovered her feet. Mommy and I have seperately taken one kid at a time on various errands with great success. Things are really coming together. Both kids are laughing and so interactive.

Corryn, Bella Neill, and Brady.

Corryn feeds herself. i guess thinks she can do it better.

The weekend of September 18th – 21st, we took the kids out for their FIRST overnighter. We took them for 4 days to our Annual friend El Capitan State Beach trip. We had, between kids and adults, over 35 people this year. We rented a motorhome to accommodate all their needs, as well as ours. The weekend was a success due in part with all the help from our friends…usually during meal preparation time.

Week end September 21st, 2008. Various family on Mommy’s side come for a visit. Great Aunt Jan and her friend help out while Grandma Spencer is in Italy. Cousin Jeannie, who has twin teenage boys of her own, stops in with her youngest son, Hunter.

Corryn was telling Mommy how she wanted to be photographed.

This is the final result from the previous picture.

Brady spits up on Mommy. He usually keeps it down....but not today.
