Cute Traveling Boy

Porter on the plane (in his own seat that we didn't pay for...love Southwest--if there are open seats you can use it for an 'unticketed' child) next to Daddy.
Porter after we got back from traveling, sporting Daddy's hat.
Caged little dude. This was taken before we left on our trip.

Porter Picture Medley

All of these pictures are from the last week or two. This first one was Tuesday night: Porter prayer. So sweet. My wonderful husband teaching my little son to talk to his Heavenly Father through prayer. Priceless.
This was this morning. Aaron taught Porter to do "muscles" and he finally started to do it himself today. OH MY CUTENESS!!!!
This is potty practice (with diaper on just before bath), and he had a little reading material.
Night before last I took a picture during story time. Didn't realize the whole family made it in (see the dogs?). =) I love my little family. The furry, the hairy and the small.
Today Porter took his chair and put it on the rocks/water box and kicked his feet up to chill. I think he positioned himself right by the strawberries on purpose: to wait and watch them grow, waiting for a ripe one he could pick and eat. His favorite part of the garden by far.
Yesterday Porter put his hat on by himself (can you tell?) and he was trying to do his business. I LOOOOOOOOVE his shoes; white K-Swiss shoes from cousin Eli!
Aaron looks forward to softball like nothing else. This is from their game Monday before last after they won.
Week or so ago I let Porter have Cheetos and all of a sudden he's at the trash can throwing the bag away. I hadn't taught him that yet...AWESOME!!! Boy, kids been watchin'.
I have a picture of Aaron when he was a little older and had darker hair but has the exact same face and stance as Porter does here. Like father like son. Well that post should last you the next couple weeks. Until then! ;)

Porter Push


Porter has reached the age of wanting to push the stroller instead of be IN the stroller. Yesterday we went on a walk to the mailbox (while Daddy mowed the lawn and trimmed the trees and made the yard look so nice!!) and he didn't understand why I wanted him to stop and stand still for a minute. =P Yesterday he also took 2, 2-hr naps like he usually does minus the past couple weeks. He's just been going to bed late=getting up later=nap later=only time for one nap=little bit cranky in evenings. We also got to spend time with Nana (Aaron's mom/my ma-in-law) which was so fun, visit a neighbor who is in a chair while her foot/leg heals from a break (and Porter got to sit on her lap and ride around in the chair and loved playing with her dogs toys), go to Daddy's softball game (they won!) and see friends and socialize, and play with Daddy! It was a very fun day! =)

Porter Play Today






Yesterday Porter and Aaron watched the garbage man take away the garbage. The garbage truck freaks Porter out a bit so you have to hold him when it comes by. I bought this big Checkers game at DI and I was thrilled. This is the best part about going to eat at Cracker Barrel! Aaron wasn't amused at all. I also got Porter this red lawn chair at DI for a couple bucks and he LOVES it. He loves to sit on it while it's on the couch. Great job starting him with a bad, potentially dangerous habit Daddy. The Army hat I got from DI months ago but he's wears it a lot now while he plays and it's adorable. Porter is really in a repeat stage where anything he does, he wants us to do. If he takes a drink he pushes our mouth because he wants us to take a drink; when we wash his hair he wants to wash ours; when he brushes his teeth he wants us to brush ours. It makes me laugh. I love this kid! He has a new word: baby. We watch video's on our TV of infant Porter and he will say "baby" when he sees himself. His favorite movie right now is Disney/Pixar "Cars". This last picture was at a friend's house yesterday. Porter and I went over to play (and babysit her) and Porter loved her princess chair because it served as a very comfortable baby-recliner. I love my little man...and of course my man-man who made this little man possible. =)
