"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Spencer

Spencer is growing up.  Obviously.  Now he crawls, pulls up to things, has temper tantrums, and chooses outlets over toys when it comes to having a good time.  I had to take the picture below because it reminded me of one we have of Ellie.  I've included the original of her also.



Justin doesn't get a chance to play his guitar much, but the kids sure love it when he does play.  Below is our blond-haired, brown-eyed cutie.  I think his hair is getting darker again.  Maybe someday he'll pick an actual hair color.



This is what Spencer does when he's mad:


Yes, he bangs his head on the ground.  I suppose he'll someday realize that does him more harm than it does me.  He also rolls around in anger and wacks himself against the wall.  He has zero listening ability and I am thinking he may turn out to be trickier than Meg.  She at least listens, and then decides to ignore.  Spencer skips to step two.

Such a cutie. Can't wait to get Grades and him together again at Christmas.

Luke loved slamming his head into things when he was mad. I was seriously concerned. If there was nothing around to slam it into (I was holding him) he would slam his hands against his head. Funny little kids!

I was thinking on it some more, and decided with all that passion inside that little body, his hair will probably decide to be red.

Worse than Meg? Good luck to you...

He is the cutest little thing, head-banging and all. I can't believe how blond he is!

I cannot IMAGINE that cute little angel boy having a fit!! But, then, I remember JESSICA...OH MY!!! Maybe Spencer will turn out to be as sweet as SHE is, because SHE SURE HAD THE MOST FITS WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE!!!
