Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

Wendell Spencer Wagstaff


i

I was just thinking about my darling little boy. He is so cute, and the fact that he is now sleeping triples his cuteness (at least). So just a little about my little buddy that follows me around wherever I go.

He was named Wendell Spencer, he is the 5th Generation to use the first name of Wendell, which I think is way awesome.

Spencer never stops moving unless he is asleep, and he usually just goes and goes and goes until he is ready for "nap." Lately our routine is go and do a morning playgroup, have lunch, which he eats about 1/2 of, he announces "nap" while rubbing his cute eyes, I then pick him up and he slumps over my shoulder to be carried off to dreamland. It is so cute.

He is also a talker, he talks constantly, from the time he wakes up until he goes to sleep, and sometimes even in his sleep. He is starting to say 2-4 word sentences, but mostly just one word phrases he will repeat anything you ask him to.

Another thing that is fun about him is his associations. He associates everything with someone. IE: his black car with flames is Grandpa Smith's car (because my dad always wanted a car with fire on it. Everytime we see a green car he says "Katies Car" (because Katie owns a green car. If we say should we call Nana he says "ooeey gooeey" because nana says that, Grandma = Oopsidaisy, Grandpa= Yummo, Uncle Peter= Mission (because he is going on a mission this month). He is a very smart kid and just loves to have someting to say about everything.

He is lately becoming a two year old and his favorite phrase is "I do it!" My only problem with this is when he is trying to do something that is impossible, like putting his own shoes on, changing his own diaper, or opening the door.

Spencer is our giggly, laughing, jumping, wonderful little boy that we as his parents think is a genius, and the cutest boy in the whole world. We will frequently mention this to each other. Doesn't every parent think this about there kids? I hope so. Everything he does is art!

But on a serious note he is a loving, happy little boy that we are so blessed to have in our family. We hope baby number 2 gets some of her brother's temperment and personality! We are excited to have them meet and become a family of four!

Spencer IS a very fun child. It is especially fun to hear all the things he is saying! I'm sure his sister will love him and he will love her.
