Happy Birthday, Spencer!

If you've been thinking you've seen lots of birthdays on my blog, it's because you have! Our little family has 5 birthdays between June 1st and July 26th. It's a little daunting and exhausting. Poor Emma must feel a little left out having a Christmas time birthday!

Spencer just turned 6. It's hard to believe it has been 6 years since Spencer's miracle birth. He was our only baby who almost died during delivery. He gave us a huge scare, but Heavenly Father must have had a mission for him to accomplish here on earth. He let him stay and bless our lives.

Spencer is a hard worker. He has had so many setbacks with his speech and motor delays, but he never quits. He keeps trying his best even when it's hard. He is an example to me that we can do hard things. Every step with Spencer has meant so much to us because we would watch him struggle to accomplish each challenge in his development. He has truly been a joy to have in our family.

Spencer is a kid with no fear. He has always been our adventuresome child. If there is a mud puddle anywhere, he is the one to find it. When he was little, he would put on his superman cape. He thought he was invincible if he had the cape on. I finally had to hide the cape.

Spencer is one of the most loving kids I know. He is quick to say "I love you." He is definitely his mommy's boy. He loves cuddling with mom. He has the largest heart.

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Spencer:
