Looking back at the photos of Spencer, we are tempted to ask, "What happened to our precious baby?!" Because now he is such a big boy. We always have loved him, but early on, it wasn't clear whom we were loving. That made his early days, weeks, months and years so exciting as we waited for clues to his inner self. But at 3.5, he has a very well defined personality. He talks a lot and is fairly predictable. He is very sweet, sometimes shy and certainly happy. He went through a "Caillou" phase, but he never left "Thomas," and he certainly loves his engines more than any other toys! He even likes to play "Thomas" games and do puzzles on the Internet. And he likes to look at photos stored on the computer. He seems to understand that he is the little baby in the pictures. When we look at some of the preemie outfits we saved, we cannot believe that he ever wore them. And then we see the old pictures and notice that even these outfits were -- at first -- too big (see below)! Time flies!
