Spencer's 1 Year Pictures...Finally!

We finally got Spencer's 1 year pictures taken this morning...he'll be 14 months in a few days:) He got his haircut last week, so we decided to take the opportunity to do it this weekend. He did pretty well and I think we got some good ones. I just can't believe how fast my kids are growing. Spencer still won't stand on his own and prefers crawling over even attempting to walk (except when he's on his walker-which is rarely and only if we put him on it). I'm enjoying the fact that he's taking his time, but part of me is kind of hoping that he starts doing this stuff soon! It would be much easier to do a lot of things if he could just walk a bit on his own, plus, he's getting pretty darn heavy to lug everywhere! We had a few pictures of the kids taken together and Miss Avery had one pose to herself, but other than that, this was all about Spencer:)

Brother and sister...I think Spencer is going to pass Avery in size pretty soon!

A little kiss from his big sister:) The best part is she loves him this much at home too!

Such a big girl!

I just love this scrunchy nose.

Scrunchy nose again:)

He saw his blanket and started signing for it and whining so we let him have one pose with his beloved possession:)

This picture gives me flash-forwards of what it will be like with school pictures, he looks like such a big boy here!

Probably one of our favorites! He looks so darn good in hats:)

Had to sneak some ND in these pictures somewhere. LOL!! He looks pretty serious here and the funny thing is, he was babbling away while looking at the book.

They had some bells they were using to get him to smile and he was signing to the lady that he wanted them:)

We really enjoyed this experience a lot more than the last-if you remember the horror we had with doing both of their pictures just before Christmas last year! They are both growing so fast and it's nice to capture these moments. When we brought the pictures home today and started switching out the old pictures (from when Spencer was 6 months and Avery had just turned 2) Artie and I couldn't believe how much they had changed in such a short time!! Kids grow fast, I guess that's just the reality of it:)

I will end this post with a BIG congratulations to Beth and Dave who welcomed their son, David III, yesterday! Mom and baby are doing great and hopefully they'll share pictures with us soon:)!!
