Baby Brother

BABY BROTHER HAS ARRIVED!

Porter LOVES having a little brother!  

He is always trying to share his toys with him, give him hugs and kisses, and wants to hold him.  Since day one of baby brother joining our family this is how Porter has treated him.  It is so fun to watch and we are excited for them to be able to play together as they continue to grow.

Life's Adventures

There has been lots of adventure take place since I posted our family pictures.  Tyson got a new job in a different state, so we have moved, in process of moving my Grandpa passed away.  Luckily we were able to attend his funeral on the way to our new location.  Then we had Porter's 2nd birthday, Thanksgiving, house hunting (we were staying with family members in our new location until we could find our own place to stay), Christmas, New Years, moved into a house we were able to find to rent, and now finally feeling settled after all those adventures.  In the midst of the adventures we also found out that we are going to have another little boy join our family this summer.  We are all very excited about this, and Porter talks about "baby brother" often.  Porter's vocabulary has really grown and he's becoming quite the repeater.  It's a lot of fun!  Porter makes the best facial expressions too.  Just sitting there playing with his toys or watching one of his favorite movies its more entertaining to watch his expressions than to play with the toys or watch the movie.

Here are a few pictures of Porter through out our adventures:

Summer Fun

Porter has had lots of fun playing with friends and cousins, going to the park, playing in water, and going on a family trip to San Diego Zoo, a train museum, and an airplane museum. 

First Father and Son Campout

Tyson just took Porter on his first Father and Son Camp Out. 
Porter LOVED it. 

Sleep tight, don't let the bugs bite!

Wearing Hats

Porter's new favorite thing to do is wear his hats.  He asks for them as soon as he wakes up in the morning and wears/plays with them all day.

Almost Walking

Porter is getting closer every day to start walking now.  He does really well with help, but hasn't quite figured out his balance enough to give it a go on his own.

Some of his favorite words right now are: Car, Basketball, Baseball, Jesus, and "Ruff, Ruff" (that is what he says for dog).

He loves to be outside as much as he can, and doesn't care if its snowing, raining or sunny.  When it is wet weather outside he doesn't like being covered up either, he loves to feel it on his face.

 

Porter constantly reminds me that some of life's greatest joys are the simple things in life.
