The Next Jedi

This is one of Porter's favorite apps. He will be a great Jedi.

An Outing at Thanksgiving Point

It is nice to always get out of the house when the sun is shining. I wanted to go and take some pictures of Porter and what better place then Thanksgiving Point. We were lucky to even get these pictures. He really wasn't in the mood to have his picture taken. Still what we did get they turned out pretty good.

Me and My Blanket

Porter does some silly things with his blanket as you can see in these pictures. He is never without his favorite blanket. One time I took it away from him to wash it. It took me a good half hour to calm him down again. Then I made the mistake of having him in the Landry room as I was putting it into the dryer. Now we have to be secretive on how we take his blanket to wash it. He loves his blanket! His favorite thing to do with the blanket is to put his finger in the tag. That tag is pretty strong. One of these days that tag is going to come off or his finger will. I hope the tag losses that war.

My Best Friend!

You always wonder if your kids will get along with the pet. It is clear that they love each other, they are best friends. Porter is always running around with Penny taking her toys and playing fetch as best as he can. Now that he can throw her toys down the stairs they are having a lot more fun.
There is just one thing that Porter likes to do more then anything with Penny and that his gives her hugs. Every day Porter will find Penny and give her hugs. He even now says, "Good Girl!" He interacts with Penny so good. It is nice that they have each other.

My new favorite place to be

Porter has really started to pick up reading on his own even when he is in his chair. We have a rocking chair in his room that he just loves to seat in. I had to find something that would make him happy, so I thought why not this chair. I put him in gave him his blanket and a book and he was so happy for an hour. Wow all you need is some good lighting, a comfy chair, your favorite blanket, and a good book and you are happy. Thank you Porter for making our day.

to Bee or not to Bee

One day I thought. "hey lets put this costume on Porter and see what he does." Next thing I knew he was running around acting like a bee laughing and having fun. I made the mistake of take it off when he clearly didn't want it off. So here he is just being a cute little Bumble Bee.
Who would have ever thought that a bee costume that is made for a dog would be so cute on our little guy? Even crazier to think that Porter would love to wear it and ask for it to be put on?! I know I didn't but these pictures prove other wise.

Porter's First Hair Cut

I finally did it; I took Porter in to get his hair cut. I don't know if you moms out there are like me, but to get your baby's hair the first time is hard. I thought I was going to cry 'cause I loved Porter's long curls. We went to the same Barber that Tim used to go to back in California when he was a kid.
I sat on the chair and held Porter on my lap and let Henry do his magic. At first I was nervous, sad and unsure I really wanted to do this. I was more of a wreck then Porter. He was staying so calm and didn't care too much for what was going on. That helped calm me down.
When Henry pulled out the scissors I thought Porter would go crazy, but instead he liked it. He likes having his hair played with. Porter didn't move that much and was even good when the clippers came out. He just tried to pull things off the chair and wanted to see what was going on. Porter has always wanted to know how things worked. It was fun to watch him try to figure out the scissors and clippers and what they where doing with his hair.
After Henry did his magic on Porter checked himself out for awhile in the mirror. Henry did a really nice job. Porter now looks like a little boy. He still sometimes misses playing with his hair, but he knows that he looks good.
