Shower Fun

34 week belly

Mom Gerow threw me a fabulous baby shower last weekend. Lots of frieds and family were able to come (about 30). Everyone had a great time thanks to mom's hard work.

Everyone got to guess the size of my belly by cutting a piece of yarn (grandma Gerow won - she was within a 1/4 inch!). We also played the candy bar game - always well received.

One of the activities that greeted guests as they walked in was to pick a letter of the alphabet and then draw a picture to correspond with the letter. The pictured pages are going into plastic sleeves in a binder for baby's first alphabet book. It's such a cute idea and I found out that I have a lot of talented friends and family.

Here's grandma Gerow working on her contribution.

My favorite activity was having the guests create pictures of what our child will look like (as an adult). There were three different face pictures each of me and Daniel cut up into foreheads, noses, mouths, chins and ears. Each group of people grabbed one of each face part at random and then put them together to create our child's face. It was oh so hilarious. Some of them looked normal and some of them were down-right frightening. I will have to posts pictures of them later.

Corrin and Amber drove up from AZ and NV. It was so much fun to have them here - even if it was just for a very short while. And of course getting to play with this little guy was a highlight of the weekend. Spencer is the cutest, happiest baby who loves to smile and giggle.

Here he is looking like a cool dude in his shades.
