waking up

Spencer makes a funny snorting sound when he is hungry, which usually happens when he wakes up from a nap.

Oh Boys

Thank you Great Aunt Lisa and Great Uncle Dave for my big brother
shirt! I really like being a big brother. Spencer likes having a big
brother too - can you tell from the picture? :)

Grandma, Sawyer and Spencer - Sawyer is excited to be a big brother.

Big Brother, Big Helper

Sawyer really enjoys being a big brother, and he is a very good helper. He likes to hold the bottle, put the bottle in the sink when Spencer is done, pat his back to burp him, and hand me the diaper when we change him.

He was helping me burp him in the top picture and carefully holding the bottle in the bottom picture.

One Week Old

Spencer had his 1 week doctor appointment today. He is up to 7 lbs 5 oz, which is 2 oz over his birth weight! His color and all other vitals were great. He doesn't need to go back to the doctor until his 1 month appointment. Here are some pictures of Spencer and a couple of Sawyer when he was 1 week old.

So Sleepy

Sawyer was so tuckered out that he fell asleep on his step stool. He stayed like that for about 20 minutes. It's a lot of work being a big brother.

Garden

Thank you Beckie for the beautiful plants for our garden!

Brotherly Love

Spencer James

Spencer James Strub born at 9:40 a.m. He weighed 7lbs 3oz and was 20
inches long.

A VERY serious painter

Auntie Ang and Grandma Beckie helped Sawyer dye some Easter eggs yesterday. He was very serious about the whole project switching the eggs all around between the different paint cups.

Often when he pulled the eggs out of the dye he had this surprised look on his face.

Here he is meticulously placing them on the drying rack. Only for them to be picked up again in 30 seconds and thrown back into a cup of dye.

Landscaping

Over the weekend Derrick, Doug, and Beckie worked hard to get the landscaping looking nice. They dug out all the weeds, sprayed many kinds of repelents, covered it with weed barrier and mulch, and put in a row of paver tiles.
