Morning Surprise

♬ I looked into Baby's mouth and what did I see?

A toothy grin smiling back at me! ♩

♫ This morning's brought such a nice surprise,

Toothy smiles right before my eyes! ♪

Baby Spoon has cut a tooth! I'm so happy I can't describe it. Our Tiny Wonder is more and more wonderful each day! Oh, how we love her. Each milestone that she reaches is a joy for us to observe and be a part of. What a lovely morning surprise. -Daddy Spoon.

Two-thirds full

Our Baby Spoon is eight months old today! I'm so blessed to be her father, and Mama Spoon feels the same about being a mother. Our Babykins definitely brings a lot of joy to our lives. Here are some photos of the great and fun things that she does. Moments we are more than happy to share with her. What a wonderful little girl. :D -Daddy Spoon.

A Dubious Milestone

Well, it finally happened. This morning I was playing on the floor with our adorable Baby Spoon and realized that I needed to add some more logs to the fireplace. In the span of five minutes while I stoked the fire, Babykins managed to roll herself away from the books we had been playing with and over to one of the cat's food bowls. When I looked back, I found her on her tummy with both hands in the bowl and stuffing her face with dry cat food.

As amusing as the sight was, my worst nightmares have finally come true. I've always been uneasy about Miss O finding her way to the cat's things and today was the day she just had to go and do it. Not too thrilled about that. I had to fish out three pieces of kibble from her mouth. She wasn't too thrilled about that either. Her protests rang loud and clear. I hope Baby Spoon doesn't expect the cat and dog food bowls to be an all-you-can-eat buffet. She's going to be disappointed if she does! I just hope for now we can keep Babykins away from the food she isn't supposed to eat. She's much cuter when her face is covered in baby food. Much, much cuter! -Daddy Spoon

Singing in the Mirror

It's taken me awhile to find time to post new videos of the Spoon family onto youtube, but this is one of my favorites. The other day, Babykins discovered the mirror on her Einstein jumper and spent half an hour singing to herself. I was pleased to get some of it caught on video. Take a look! -Daddy Spoon.

Can't Hold No One Back

There are times where I wish that I could post audio onto this blog, because this Daddy Spoon was lucky enough to record his precious daughter singing to her heart's content yesterday. I made sure to add it to a photo text (below) that I sent to my entire family. They loved it.

Here are a few of the pics from my camera phone since yesterday. Using it is a little easier than my actual camera because Babykins has started blinking in response to the camera flash. And that has ruined scores and scores of photos within the past two weeks. But I'm patient. I know to snap away until I can get the photo I want!

Even though the resolution isn't that great, you can see two new developments in the realm of the Spoons. One is that our Punkins can now hold her bottle on her own (we love it!) and Two is that when lunchtime has carrots on the menu, it can be a dangerous experience for her poor bib! But like I said, we love it. We're very happy and pleased for all the ways our Baby Spoon is growing and developing. We work hard to take good care of her! -Daddy Spoon.

Deconstructivism

Ophelia has now entered her deconstructionist phase. She's become very good at wardrobe decontruction and is also a strong critic of graphic design print ads. Which means she crumples up the ones she dislikes. And also the ones she likes too. It's super cute! We love watching her grow and explore and learn. Too much fun! -Daddy Spoon.

A Day of Thanks

Wow, I had such a great time yesterday for Thanksgiving. Mommy and Daddy Spoon took me over to cousin Sheryll's house to celebrate the holiday. I had a great time and got to eat some turkey dinner too! I didn't like it as much as my sweet potatoes or carrots, but I ate it up and had a good time taking a nap in Mommy's arms. I love falling asleep there. Mommy is the best! I am thankful for my Mommy and Daddy. They take good care of me. I am thankful for all of my family. I love them, and I know they love me!
