Spencer

Spencer turned 18-months old this week. Life with this little blonde-haired, brown-eyed boy has been a true gift, one that I take for granted every day. He is so full of energy and life and curiosity, and is forever climbing as high as he can, always taking risks, trying to do everything the big boys do. He's learning so many new words, but still likes to communicate to us with the [too few] sign-language signs that we taught him [melts our hearts!]. He gives the best kisses, loves the water, has the biggest sweet tooth in the family, and pretty much likes to do anything and everything he isn't supposed to. ;) We call Spencer "the boy-wander" since we have to keep our eyes on him every waking moment lest he disappear to the road or the pond, or somewhere new and exciting to explore...those are his favorite places. He adores the chickens [he calls them the chicka-chicka-chicka ;)] and could stand near the fence watching them for hours! Picking and eating blueberries is also a favorite of his. :)

These last eighteen months have just flown by for us. I know that all too soon those dimpled fingers and cute baby-face will grow into a little man, and I want to make the most of every moment I have being a part of this little boy's life, watching him grow and enjoy life and learn of Jesus and love Him with his whole heart...
