Good Morning! Spencer slept in till 730! I sure hope that becomes the norm! Rachel was awake at 630, which is late for her too! Then she went back to sleep at 7, and I snoozed till Spencer woke up. Groovy! I went to bed really early, and slept like a log. Mike said he was feeling better too.

Spencer used all his signs this morning, including the new sign for more. He also responded immediately when I said "Spencer, look". Rockin!!! I know I say it everyday, but he's made so much progress, it's amazing. To go from no communication at all, not listening (possibly not understanding) anything I said, to being normal except for talking now. Wow!!! And now we've hit the temper tantrum stage. Everytime I say no, he gets upset and usually bangs his head on something. He ran into the couch today and fell backwards on his butt while he was trying it. If he's really upset he'll buckle his legs and go down to the ground. It only last for a second, though. I know I should be upset and frustrated and I am, but I'm also relieved that we are hitting this stage. A few months ago, I thought we might never be here.

Going to talk up Daddy's arrival home today again, hopefully he'll be more enthused. He is who he is though...
