Spencer enjoys indoor and outdoor play with other children. He does not like to tolerate a wet or stinky diaper anymore, but he doesn't have much interest in the potty either. Instead, he prefers to remove his diaper and then try to put on a new one himself! (There's no doubt he'll get the hang of it sooner or later.) His favorite foods are cantaloupe and green beans and an occasional M&M. He likes to tell his name and age when asked; however, he typically displays his whole hand instead of just two fingers for his age. He likes to name various animals such as cats, dogs, monkeys and zebras. When he hears a noise coming from the sky he points and says "airplane." If he hears a siren, he says "fire truck." He enjoys puzzles. His favorite shape is an oval, and he sounds very cute when he says "triangle." He has added a few letters to the alphabet ("snake" and "double y"), and created his own number (five-teen). When the temperature drops, he says "cold ice." His latest phrase is the all-purpose "Spencer's turn."

I love New York!
The whole family went to New York City for a fun-filled vacation. The weather was unseasonably warm! Spencer slept through an art gallery and endured two meals at the American Girl Cafe. But he enjoyed playing in Central Park and jumping in a bouncy house at a festival in Chinatown. He also likes to talk about airplanes and explore new places.
Spencer dressed as a pumpkin for Halloween!
Spencer resisted many Halloween costumes, but in the end, he agreed to wear this pumpkin outfit. In fact, after going from house to house and getting candy, he decided at the end of the night that he didn't want to take the costume off!

Growing up fast
Spencer continues to grow and develop. He now weighs 28 pounds. He is learning to speak and has begun putting words together. Last week he said "two people" and "eight more days." Although he doesn't like Halloween costumes at all, he does like candy. Fortunately, he can't open the packages yet. He has noticed the change in the weather. In the morning, he will say "cold" when we go out to see the girls off to school. Later on, he will then say "hot day." He loves to swing at the playground and climb on the monkey bars. He is VERY active.

Spencer is 2!
Spencer had a wonderful birthday. We started off with family pictures. Then he had a party with extended family members in Pennsylvania. He was very happy to have Barney the Dinosaur as a surprise guest! It's hard to believe he's not longer a "baby." Now he is officially a toddler.

Spencer, the pirate
It's hard to believe that Spencer will be 2 tomorrow! His vocabulary continues to increase. He especially likes to say "out," "more," "look" and "helloooo." He also likes to sing "Row, row, row (your boat)." And his love of Elmo continues to intensify.
