Sprinkle, Sprinkle

Sprinkle, sprinkle little rose, this is how my garden grows. Avery loves to "sprinkle" courtesy of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse's Minnie. Minnie sings a "Sprinkle, Sprinkle" song while watering her flowers and now we have our very own little sprinkler:)

Helping daddy plant the flower Aunt Beth and Aunt Cindy sent us...Spencer wasn't so much interested in the planting as he was in exploring his boundaries outside and honing his crawling skills on the new terrain.

Avery decided she needed to add more dirt herself.

One little man that is very proud of his accomplishments outdoors!

Finally, time for some sprinkling:)

This morning when I went in Avery's room to get her up for breakfast (yes, often we have to wake Avery up in the morning...my Spencer, on the other hand, is always up before 8 a.m.!), she reminded me that she needed to sprinkle the flowers outside-so we headed out during Spencer's morning nap to make sure all the plants got lots of sprinkles.

And this weekend...
Spencer fed himself yogurt for the first time:) He didn't really know what to think and since he's really trying to cut his top teeth, he was more interested in chewing on the spoon! We have officially stopped buying baby food around here. Spencer just will not eat it anymore. I've started that worrying, transition stage that I remember going through with Avery. Now, he's testing everything and isn't really that good of an eater unless he's just nibbling on snacks. Pretty soon he'll find his groove with table food, I'm sure...and milk is just around the corner-next month!

His face is a little blurry and Avery's looking down, but I still love this smile. Spencer just lights up whenever he sees or hears his big sister. I see many fights about Spencer never leaving Avery alone in my future, but for now these two are nearly inseparable and I can't get enough of the two of them playing together!

Have a great week:)

LOVE the pictures! Spencer is so big! I let Jakes crawl around at the library storyhour today for the first time- he has gotten so big so quickly. I can't get over how Spencer is almost a year old.
Elizabeth loves watering flowers too:)
Hey, I saw on Megs' comments that you are moving? Where to? If I missed that info somewhere, I'm sorry!

So many beautiful pictures! I can't believe how well Spencer is moving. Good luck with the potty training! I'll be asking for advice in a couple years. :)
