Spencer

Happy Birthday, big guy!
We've only known Spencer for a year now, and he doesn't have a lot to say, so in lieu of telling you all the wonderful things he says and does, I'll just add a few extra pictures to his post.





Oh man, I can not resist this kid. He is the sweetest little guy ever. A good eater, a good sleeper, and he prefers his mom to everyone else in the world. AND he has the most irresistibly kissy face. What's not to love?


One little glimpse into his personality: he loves three things with intense devotion: his mommy, his McDonald's light saber, and anything that his big brother Stuart loves with intense devotion. Anytime he sees one of Stu's beloved stuffed animals unattended, he waves his arms and sings for joy, makes a mad dash for it, and then hugs it tightly before kissing it slobberously. And then Stuart snatches it and falls apart in a teary heap because it is now wet with slobber. And THEN, Spencer collapses in a heap with his face pressed mournfully into the carpet and wails over the loss of the beloved.
Its a pretty cute brotherly ritual. I suspect it won't be for long, though.


He wasn't into the birthday celebration thing. None of my kids have bought into birthday cake. After 20 minutes or so we coaxed him into smearing the frosting onto the table with a spoon. That was about it. Wee!



 He felt equally indifferent to his birthday presents. So the big kids were happy to oblige.


Happy Numero Uno Little Man!

He is so cute! He looks just like the others, but so much his own too. I wish I knew him. I want to snuggle him. Or slap his bottom. Or buy his affection with chocolate chips and Cheetos.

Happy birthday to Spencer!!

And also that's crazy that we have virtually the same white-out experience. That's bizarre. We're like TWINSIES!

It's time for you to post again. I check your blog almost every day because you screen my phone calls, and I can't figure out how to put that little sidebar on my blog that just TELLS you when someone updates their blog, which means that every day I check it and get all excited and hopeful when the page is loading, only to find out that I don't get to see any new pictures yet or read anymore Becky-thoughts. It's an agonizing and brutal 15-second daily sequence of events.

Let's hear it for an update!! Am I right?? Eh?? :)

Love and miss you guys!

ARGGGGHHH!!!! I just did it again!! I mustered up the self-control to NOT check your blog for like 4 days, then just went to check it and felt SO optimistic the whole time it was loading that today was totally going to be New Pictures and New Post Day on Becky's blog. I actually started smiling as it came up, but NOOOOO!!!

I'm nuts. But it's really (or is it really?) just because I miss you. And I'm just going to keep leaving embarrassing and pathetic comments like this on your blog until you update it. So there. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it.
