Okay I know that if Idid not record this, years from now both me and Spencer would be peeved.
On November 21st around 2:00 in the afternoon Mr. Spencer Louis Kautt walked across the living room and back with no help from mama OR daddy. We are VERY proud as you might guess. It was a moment of quiet insanity, both of us bordering on squealing out his name. He now allows us a few moments every now and then, and is always up for a little wakka wakka wakka. ( with fingers to hold.. but it's only a little bit and...)
We had a great Thanksgiving, Spencer's favorite dish, yams covered with marshmallows of course.
more later, I have a mountain of dishes.

I FORGOT TO ADD......TODAY...SPENCER LOUIS KAUTT SMITH......
18 MONTHS OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOOOOOOO-HOOOOOO
YOUR MAMA AND DADDY LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU......
you little booger brain.

Well he's not walking...but...
he is grabbing my hands ( and sometimes just my hand) and toddling along very happily.
We have been either singing : "I'm walkin, yes indeed I'm talkin..." or just saying " Walk Walk Walk" while doing it, and Spencer now sounds like a little like Fozzie D. Bear.
By this I mean he chants out "Wakka, Wakka, Wakka" while we do it. So CUTE.
And I of course am very proud.
No is becomming the favorite word ( said more like Newwwwoooo in a very high voice making it hard to be perturbed) and waffles with peanut butter and applesauce the ONLY exceptable dinner.
Lovely.
ahh well. It could be worse I suppose.
we're all fine, busy with school which I must go study for a belated mid term.
more info soon.
