Spencer is 3 years old!!!

On Sunday August 24th, Spencer will be 3 years old!! Man has time flown by. It goes fast with having just one child, but when you add another, it is really crazy.

When it came time to have Spencer, it was much less complicated than his big sister. Since she was a c-section, they would only let me go a week late with him. Well, the week came and he still didn't want to come out. Having a scheduled c-section is much easier than hours of labor before hand. We arrived at the hospital around 10:00 am and had Spencer around 2 and a half hours later. The surgery was fast and the doctor after told me that she could hardly find any scar from Jordan. We again did not know the gender of the baby, so were excited to have a little boy!!

Here we are Wednesday August 24th 1003 on our way to the hospital. Here is proud big sister meeting her little brother for the first time. She was so excited and fell in love with him right away.
My doctor immediately noticed the cleft on his chin and asked who of Darin or I had a cleft chin. She looked at me and said it is only passed directly from a parent. Apparently she saw an episode of the show House where they could not find the problem with a patient. He noticed the patient had a chin cleft but neither of the parents did. So they deduced that the problem was genetic since the patient had been adopted. Funny...Darin immediately wanted to pinch it out but I think it is cute:)

Darin's job has been to get all the "going home" outfits the day we take the baby home. This is what he picked for Spencer. Soo cuteHere are some favorite pics.

Spencer is a bundle of energy and curiosity. I tell people he is a cross between Dennis the Menace and Curious George. I have never had a dull moment with him, and can't wait to see what the years bring!!
Happy Birthday Spencer!! We love you and are blessed you are in our family!!
