Getting over the flu and a little behind on life, but our little man was 10 months last week on the 9th. No check up this month but I know he is large and large. His thighs are unbelievable. This month he started eating yogurt, bananas and a little bit of what we have for dinner each night plus his regular meat & veggies (and cereal with fruit in the mornings). He figured out how to get into sitting position on his own and actually does a little bit of legit crawling as opposed to the army crawling he normally does. He also started pulling himself up to standing position and is real proud of himself.
He is waking up once most nights and the time is never really predictable- sometimes it is 3:30, one time it was 12:30 and other times it isn't until 6:30 and he wants to go back to sleep until about 8. He isn't nursing well at bedtime so I think he wakes up to do that. He hasn't really been that great at nursing at all these days because he is so BUSY! He wants to climb all over me or the chair I am sitting in or get down and explore rather than nurse. He still has eight teeth- two more have been on the verge of coming through for quite some time now. Thankfully he didn't get the flu but he did have a bug for a couple of days before I got the full-on flu. He loves his Daddy and says Da Da all. the. time. He wants him at all times and even cried for him last night before going to bed because I tucked him in for the first time in a few nights. He is all boy and all about his Daddy (not that I can blame him!!) and even has a little dance move I am sure we can attribute to his Daddy as well. He shakes his upper body and head back and forth until we join in! Ha! He is a handful.
Other recent pictures of him...
Lots of time outside when the weather is warm like it has been & tons of fun with Henry (Jennifer & Chris's second)
They followed each other all over the downstairs at Jennifer's house while we oohed and ahhed over the new baby girl, Emma. They shared lots of cheerios and gave the dog her fair share. I think Porter thought all of Henry's boy toys were the coolest- he is used to playing with princesses. Henry loved giving Porter his paci and Porter loved spitting it back out for him.
And how could I forget? This month his biggest sister taught him how to open and shut his hands for the little "Open Shut Them" Song. This is him with them shut. (He is pretty proud of himself.)
He also made it up the two stairs from our den. His Daddy left the room and that was enough to get him going I guess.
Bella was born on April 14th 2009 to two very proud parents. She is almost seven now! She is still very much in love with her Daddy and gets to spend lots of one-on-one time with him through Y-Guides. She also enjoys golf lessons after school once a week. She is doing well learning Spanish through the SPLASH program at her school where she is in the first grade Spanish Immersion class. She loves to dance and teach her little sister everything she knows!
Ava Hope joined us on the 4th of February 2012. She is quite the character and knows how to make us all laugh. She loves her big sister and misses her when they are apart. Her favorites are Minnie Mouse and Ariel. Everyday she surprises us with her sassy comments and wonderful memory!
Baby number three: Porter Noble came quickly on the 9th of May at 4:44 am. My labor and delivery was all less than an hour! He weighed 8lb 12oz and measured 20in. He is delightful and continues to bring great joy on a daily basis. He is learning and talking more each day and is ALL BOY!
Baby number four joined us on the 18th of January this year. Turner King was 6lbs 12oz, our smallest! He fits into the family perfectly and is very loved by his older sisters and big brother...
As for Randy and I... we met in 2006 at our job. We were southern girl and boy from Buffalo trying to make it work. It didn't take much! We couldn't live without each other and were engaged and married a short eight and eleven months later. The rest is what they call HISTORY and in this case, HER STORY...
