Spencer turned two! I've felt like he's been two and acted two for awhile but now it's official. The day started off great. We opened presents first thing (Trains from Jared, scooter from mom and dad, and tool set from grandma and grandpa B.)
and then had chocolate chip pancakes.
We then rushed the rest of the morning to get to school for Jared's first field trip. I think Jared was more excited to ride a school bus than go to the pumpkin farm.
Spencer, Miles and I followed the bus with our friend Linsey and her kids.
The day before was gorgeous but when we went it was rainy and mucky. We still managed to have a good time and I fed Miles right before I put him in the stroller and he slept the entire time, Nice! I had the boys dressed nice and warm and we enjoyed all the animals.
They had lots of exotic animals. My favorite, the giraffe.
Jared even fed this animal and stuck his whole hand in it's mouth.
After lunch it was time to head back and Spencer was tired and wanted me to hold him.
He slept for 30 mins in the car but I knew he was still tired. When we finally got home it was almost 3:00 and I debated whether I should put him down that late but decided to. He was so sweet when I put him down too. He just curled into me and when I laid him down he didn't complain and fell asleep immediately. During the nap Chris called and said he was swamped and wanted to know if we could come downtown for dinner. So as soon as Spencer woke up, just after 5:00, I rushed us all out the door. Spencer was really whinny and I didn't think much of it at the time.
We went to Rainforest Cafe and it's great for kids, but... not so fun if you're sick. Spencer was so hot and miserable. I was in such a rush to go that I didn't notice how hot he was. I think Jared was the only one who enjoyed the scenic restaurant and dinner that night. Chris and I felt horrible that Spencer felt so bad and we tried to get out as quickly as possible. We did end up staying for the Sundae for Spencer's birthday, mainly for Jared.
Spencer's attempt to blow out the light.
When we got home I put Spencer straight to bed and he went willingly.
The next morning we did cake, no ice cream. I had even brought the cake downtown the day before so Chris could be part of it but Spencer was in no mood to enjoy it then.
My proportions are off and it's a poor job as far as smoothness but he knew what it was and that's what I was going for :).
Spencer has had a never ending birthday with presents arriving periodically. He's loved the Diego car from Aunt Ashley and plane from Grandma and Grandpa M, and I've loved the clothes :).
Spencer is still my BiG boy and is my heart melter. He is definitely harder and more stubborn than Jared but wipes away most, almost all, of my frustration by just smiling and saying, "Love you mommy!" I love my little guy and I'm so glad he's part of our family.
He continued to be sick through the weekend throwing up Sunday/Monday morning so he was unable to get immunizations at his check-up Monday morning. But here are his stats:
31 pds- 80%
36 in- 90% Whahoo
Head- 90%
Keep it up little/big guy!
Miles wanted to get on the bus too and cried and cried. This kid is begging to go to school already every morning when dropping of Spencer. 
Miles cried when we didn't get on the hayride but was easily distracted with the animals.
Spencer was a quiet observer. Never saying if he wanted to go anywhere or do anything just happily going along. 
Right when we got there Spencer asked me when he got to eat. (I think this was something he looked forward to more than the location). So when I asked him what his favorite thing was when driving home I wasn't too surprised when he said, "Lunch!"
