3 years old

We celebrated Spencers 3rd birthday today.

What a cute kid, we are so lucky to be able to spend everyday watching his love for everything boy and to watch him grow and learn. The last few weeks he has come up to me and told me "Mommy, ew are my bess fend", several times. It has just melted my heart, (Spencer is all about his dad), it is nice to know he has a soft spot for mom as well.

This is his birthday cake-a dump truck (yes it is clean) filled with crumbled cake, oreos, choc pudding and gummy worms. He loved it, and the girls loved helping me make it for him.

As I was thinking about what I wanted to post about his this year, I thought back to how tough it has been for him this year having the coveted youngest position taken over by a new baby brother, and dad gone for such a long time. He has been a trooper, and I love him for his determination to not be forgotten, and somehow find his place amongst the chaos of everyday family life. I also love how passionate he is about his play. Nothing comes between Spencer and his cars these days.

I also love that he will still nap for me consistently, he plays hard and sleeps hard.

Love it, and Love him.

Happy Birthday Spencer!
