A Busy Life

Yes, I know…it has been too long since I’ve posted to this blog. I’ll admit, I’ve been super busy and finding the time to write has been almost impossible. Porter is so active now and demanding of attention. I’d rather play with him than write!

Let’s see…what has happened in the last 3 weeks.

• ·         At daycare, Porter moved up to a “big boy” bed. It is basically a small cot that he sleeps in that doesn’t have any bars to keep him in! He is doing well with that so I’m hoping that transitioning him to a real bed in the future will be easier than anticipated.

• ·         Porter got the Chickenpox! As bad as it sounds, it really wasn’t TOO bad. He didn’t itch them and they came and went rather quickly. I’m glad that was uneventful!

• ·         Porter has been forming words. He now says (in baby language, of course), Bubbles, duck, dog, what’s that, and banana.

In even bigger news, Jason will be arriving next week! We are all so excited to have him here and be a family again. I’m going to do my best to film Porter’s reaction to the first time he sees Daddy.

With not too much to say, I’ll leave you with a million pictures!
