My "baby" has been 2 for 2 days now. Hard to believe. I'd say overall this year has been easier than the first year. Don't get me wrong, it came with its own set of challenges, but I feel like I've kind of grown into motherhood this year. It just feels more natural.
And Spencer, well, the changes in him are just incredible. He's such a chatterbox now. I don't have to worry when he's in a different room but he's constantly giving me the play by play. "Bus" "Crash" "Boom" "I fall down" I love the talking. And he's such a sponge – he picks up all kinds of words. The other day I came home from work and he opened up a book and showed me "nut cracker". Seriously? It amazes me.
He's still incredibly loving. He loves hugs and kisses. He loves to read books just like his mama. He likes to help out around the house. He's such a boy – loves to tackle us, play with trucks, and dig in the dirt.
I feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have such a fun, smart, lovable son. Happy birthday Spence! I can't wait to see what's in store for us in the next year!
