Spring Time 2008

Spring Time

Now that the weather has started to warm up, we are learning that Porter really likes to be outside. As soon as you take him outdoors a big smile is splashed across his face. We have been enjoying some nice walks to the park, and playing in the yard. I wanted to get some cute pictures of Porter sitting up in the beautiful outdoors. But it was his first time sitting on grass, and it was quite the chore to avert his attention from the green grass to the camera. He sure had fun.

Hangin' with my cousin...

Porter and Ryan

Porter's cousin Ryan is four months older than him. When Porter was first born, Ryan seemed SO much older. He was SO much bigger, and SO much more mobile! Now these little boys are starting to catch up to eachother. They are now close in size and lately they have enjoyed sitting across from eachother and playing with toys. I think it is funny, they do get jealous if one has a pacifier or a bottle and the other does not. Now that Porter's hair is lighter, they almost resemble eachother. They could be brothers! I am sure this little pair will have a lot of fun times together in their growing up years.

Sittin' Up Boy

Sitting Up

After about a weeks worth of practice, Porter is now sitting up on his own. He loves to sit and play with toys. You can just tell that he loves the independance. The only downfall is that now he wants to sit up all the time. Anytime we put him in the carseat or lay him down, he immediately lifts his head up trying to move into the sitting position. He even attempts to drink his bottle sitting up.

Makin' Messes

Mischievious Porter

The other night we were all hanging out in the family room. I had just changed Porter's diaper and he was laying on the floor playing with his feet. Next thing we knew he started hitting the bag of diapers that were near him because he liked the noise it made. He was very entertained! Next thing we knew he had gotten a grip of that bag and managed to dump the diapers and go to town with that bag. I know you aren't supposed to let babies play with plastic but we were keeping a close eye. We had to share his 1st little act of mischief.

This was our dog for less than a week. Her name was D.O.G. and she was a cute little thing but she was also a stinky little thing. We found out we weren't quite ready to have a dog...
