{Spence turns 3}


My baby is 3. hmmm...... Where to begin to describe my Spence. Is it possible for my whiniest kid to be my giggliest kid? No? Well, he is. It's so funny. Spencer does so many things that I love and crack me up.
1. He wears a glove on his right hand, daily.(example on the left) Most might worry when there little boy wants to constantly wear one glove. Who does he think he is Michael Jackson? Nope. This boy of mine is obviously wearing a mitt!
2. Spence is the boy you see in the grocery store in the middle of the summer in moon boots. (That was until I hid them.)
3. He tells me almost daily that he wasn't talking to me, he's talking to his dad. He is a daddy's boy.
4. We have the same nightly ritual. I sing "rock a by" to him, and there is a line at the end of the song where it says, "to fetch a little rabbit skin to wrap baby Spencer in". To which he replies, "I'm not a baby!" as he giggles the entire time. Every night it's the same conversation and reaction and makes me laugh. We then sing Pete's Dragon, as Spencer plays with my hair and tells me, "oh mom I fixed your hair."
5. Spencer throws EVERYTHING!... EV..ER..Y..TH..IN..GGGG! It gets so old. (He already broke one of my in laws windows)
6. Spencer's favorite foods are: strawberries, grapes, hot dogs, yogurt, pizza and strawberry milk.
7. Spence has always been very shy and he is now starting to come out of his shell. Whenever he talks to someone he now looks at me and gets excited and says, "mom, I talked to them!"
I love this little "surprise" of mine and I'm grateful that God knew I needed him in my life at a time that I didn't. No one tries to get pregnant w/ a 3 month old at home, but that's what happened w/ Spence. He is a blessing in our family and we love his little spirit. He is constantly making us laugh...and most importantly he can fake snore like no one else! He has a gift. I love, love, love him.






At one point this candle was a 3...until Spencer ate it.




Poor Spencer...rockin double pink eyes.

Were your kids all born around the same time of year? I can't believe how old they all are. Spencer told me for his birthday he really wanted to come to Cali and go to Disneyland and visit with the coolest family ever.

Wow is Spencer really only three? He seems like he's at least 4. I'm just teasing, I'm actually curious to see if you will ever read this comment, because it's hidden on your blog. The anticipation is killing me.
