What does 5 years look like?

Birth to One

 

13 Months to 2

 

2 years-1 month to 3

 

3 years-1 month to 4

 

4 years-1 month to 5

 

Fact: I have only forgotten to take his picture on the 6th two times.  I took them on the 7th.  If you can figure out which two pictures those are I will give you a crisp $100 bill.

 

Fact: I like him to wear something different each month. On two separate occassions he is wearing the same shirt.  They are not within the same years either time.  The first time he was at his grandparent's house and didn't have anything to change into.  The second time Elliott was in the hospital with sepsis (huge clue) and I was not responsible for dressing him that day. We had him turn the shirt around to make it look different.  If you can find these I will give you a not so crisp $5 bill.

 

Fact: It bothers Megan (Massachussets Megan) that Spencer's shirt on his first birthday doesn't have a 1 when the rest of the birthday shirts have numbers.  I should be bothered by this, because I'm all about symmetry and sameness and traditions, but I'm not.

 

Fact: Spencer and I agreed, in the middle of Hobby Lobby last month, that we will continue the monthy pictures until he is 18 years 11 months, at which point he will head off to college and I will lose any last shred of control.  I plan on holding him to a deal that he made with his mother when he was 4 years old.

 

Fact:  There are 61 pictures
