Big boys and Binky Babies

I blinked and all of the baby has gone out of Spencer. My step-mom sent me this picture of him the other day and I was floored...who IS this kid and what has he done with my baby boy? Luckily, we still have plenty of babies around. Despite being about 7 weeks apart, Emily and my niece Lily are just about the same size. It's like having twins (for all the good parts and photo ops...not all the sleepless nights).

THREE MONTHS!

I am sure every parent with more than one child goes through this, but I feel really guilty that I do not have as many pictures of Emily as I do Spencer. I had all the time in the world to take photos of my little man, but now I spend most of my days just trying to keep everyone fed, poop free, and happy. I do make sure I get a shot on the 18th of every month. Here we are at three months old:

We have a cabin!

Well, WE don't exactly, but my mom and stepdad have finished building their cabin in New Meadows, so I feel like it is ours. We've only had one trip up there since its completion last November (pregnancy, bed rest, giving birth and having a new born have kept us away) but none of us wanted to leave and Spencer was asking when we were coming back only ten minutes in to the trip home. I don't have many pics of the cabin itself, but I love this one of Chris relaxing with Em and Ferg. This is what cabin life is all about!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SPENCER!!!!!!!!!!

My sweet little boy is already three years old! And if the last couple of weeks are any indication...give me TWO over THREE anyday. But overall, he really is the sweetest, most kind-hearted boy and I love him to pieces! Despite only watching the show a handful of times, he insisted on a Yo Gabba Gabba party this year and I was happy to oblige in ordering him a cake, rather than make it. Next year, buddy, your mom won't have a newborn (God willing) and I will have lots more energy! Now time for the good stuff...GIFTS! He got quite the haul of Jake and the Neverland Pirate gear and Gramma Kerri & Grampa Greg even got him a new tricylce (note the DJ Lance party glasses). Spencer, you are an absolute joy and the love of my life. Thank you for bringing so much laughter and happiness into this world!
