8 Months

Yesterday Porter was 8 months old-- wow-- can't believe how fast it is going-- pretty soon he is gonna be old and dating and driving and not snuggling with me any more!! Oh my!!


But for now-- he is my cute smiley guy !!

Porter started crawling on April 24, 2010-- on my mom's birthday -- he had been doing an army crawl-- and I took him to my mom's birthday lunch-- set him on the ground and he took off-- now he is a big boy crawler-- and loves it-- he can get into soo much more stuff-- and so much faster!!

Porter weighs 17 pounds-- according to my scale at home-- not sure how accurate that is??



Porter so excited to climb Mt. Mommy!!


Look How big I am!!!
Porter is soo skinny all his pants just fall right off-- he wears his overalls alot!!!


Zoom Zoom-- hey there Mr. fireplace--i think I will touch you!!

So far we haven't had to worry about the fireplace and telling him no no no!!

But now he is finding it more and more interesting every day --hopefully summer will come soon and no more fires will have to be made!!



Tubby Time!!
Porter loves the bath--but loves my camera more-- he wanted to have it in the bath with him--
silly Baby -- See those two cute little toothies!!

Porter loves to eat and will pretty much eat anything offered to him-- especially cold food--he really doesn't like his food warmed up-- unless its a boob or a bottle, then he prefers those warm!!

Porter does not sleep through the night-- and actually spends most of his nights in my bed-snuggled up to me and his drinking fountains (my milk bags!)

Porter loves outside and going places-- especially if he gets to drive.

The other day he was jumping in his jumper (that's were he gets put if we need to take a shower and no one around to play with him)
Chet was int eh shower and my dad came in and porter was tired of being in the jumper-- so my dad took him out and put him in the tractor-- with Doug--he immediately grabbed hold of the steering wheel and proceeded to drive the tractor!!

Porter is surprisingly fearless-- loud noises-- swings and all things that are scary --don't phase him!! The dogs barking--he laughs at--
The saws or drills in the shop going-- he turns to see what it is-- and if he can grab hold and help out! No tears-- no screams-- fearless!

Sunday he went to swing on Doug's swing set he built for Karston-- and Porter loved it-- we could push him unreasonably high and he just grinned and kicked his little legs! More more more!!

Porter thinks he has his own zoo- and he pretty much does-- the horses -- amuse him-- and the cows well he loves the cows-- they are super curious and want to lick him!!

Porter's favorite animal is still his cats-- Fergie to be exact-- he loves her- and she despises him!! Hates him and his fur pulling fingers!


Too Cute!!!

He is very cute! I love how you got out the house to go watch poo. Although there are days where I'd rather watch it than have to change it and clean it up off of baby bums.
