I have a 5 year old

My baby is 5 years old. Here is a look at his first 6 birthdays (I'm counting the day he was born here =) ). Have I ever mentioned how much we love this kid? Cause man, we do!

Newborn premie Spencer. Seriously cute, even with a feeding tube!

One of his 1st birthday celebrations (I think we had 3?!), up at the ranch in Montana with Great Grandma Kay and Papa Chuck.

2 Years old.

3 Years old at Chuck E. Cheese

4 Years old

5 Years old at our first "friend" party. We invited a slew of Spencer's (and me and Dave's) friends, and partied it up at a Jumpin' Jacks. A place with a bunch of fun bounce houses. I think we all had fun, and Spencer had a blast, and certainly felt loved! We have amazing friends! We're pretty lucky.

We love each other

There are other things I've been meaning to blog about...but I had to share a couple of cute conversations I've had with Spencer from the last couple of days...

This is actually a conversation we have a lot lately - I tell him how much I love him, he tells me how much he loves me (ie, I love you so, so, so, big, fat much! etc). And then I say, "We love each other, huh?" And Spencer says, "Yeah, we love each other...And, we love ourselves." Aww...good lesson to learn early on!

Yesterday I told Spencer that my birthday is this week (well, today to be exact), and he said, "Oh, what should I get you for your birthday? Do you want a sharp knife?" Me: "Uhh...maybe not...?" Spencer: "Do you want a gum box?" Me: "Ok, sure...?" Hey, at least he's thinking about it!

Oh, one more conversation, this one is between Spencer and Dave...They were at the water park together, and Spencer asks "Daddy, why do you have hair all stuck on you?" Dave: "When you're older you'll have hair stuck on you too." Spencer: (Excitedly) "Oooh, really?!" First he seemed a little disturbed by the hair, and then so quickly was excited at the prospect of having some of his own someday =).
