Porter's little accident

Our sweet Porter had a little accident last night. He was trying to throw a ball up the stairs and when the ball came back down, so did Porter. Thankfully, he had only climbed one stair, but he hit the ground hard enough to fracture his little arm. We called the doctor this morning and they said we should probably take him to the emergency room. So, we spent most of the morning in the emergency room. They did an xray and now Porter has a little splint. He is going to have to have a cast which he will have to wear for at least 4 weeks. Please pray for Porter:) Here's a little video of Porter telling John what happened.

Porter being silly

You have to turn the volume way up on this.

Take me out to the...

So last night we went on a little outing with some friends to Fluor Field to watch a little baseball. We shot a little video on the way there. Porter was very excited, or so we thought.

Porter was a real trooper and braved the heat until almost 9. He even got a free hot dog and chips, which he devoured (which we think resulted in an upset stomach making for a long night).


Fluor Field is a not quite exact replica of Fenway which makes it pretty cool.

Summer Update

Porter is growing so fast and talking so much. I was changing his diaper a week or so ago and he looked up at me and said "hug" and so I gave him a hug. Then he looked right into my eyes and said, without me asking him to, "I luv you". My heart just melted. His new favorite song is "Read your bible, pray everyday" and he says grow, grow grow. It's so cute! Enjoy the pictures:)
Loves to try on Daddy's shoes...
and tries to tie his!
He's totally aware of the camera now!
Loves playing with his new friend Alli! We're so glad they are here!
Playing speed slice on the Wii with his buddy Frankie!
Daddy and Porter at the park!

Vacation

Kudos to the Peden's! Thank you Lisa and Johnny! We are loving it here and Porter is having a blast! You know he loves being "owside" and he loves the pool! Enjoy the pictures!

These cranes were in our backyard yesterday morning!

He loves filling up one bucket and dumping it into the other bucket, then says "Yay!"

Daddy at Downtown Disney...

Porter at Downtown Disney...

We all shared a Mint Bliss from Ghirardelli! Mint Chocolate chip ice cream and 86% Ghirardelli Chocolate! Yum!

We ate at the Rainforest Cafe. Porter loved the fish, but was a little skeptical when it thundered in the rain forest:)

Waiting for his drink...

Houston we have a problem.

Sorry it has been so long. I am working on getting some video edited so I can put it up on the blog.

But I digress. Porter has decided that he no longer wants to have hair so he has started pulling it out in clumps at night while he is in his crib. Not sure what the deal is but hopefully we can figure it out soon before he looks like Gollum from The Lord of the Rings with like three little bunches of hair on his head.

Here are some Pictures of Porter. He is trying to do a pushup like daddy in that last one.

Tubes and some other stuff.

So for those of you who have not heard, we have had a busy couple of weeks around here. Porter finally got tubes put in his ears. He was soooooo good. The only problem came when we put him in the car to come home and he threw up all of his apple juice projectile style. Here are some pics of him looking cute in his gown.

Unfortunately the same day Porter got his tubes, my dad had to have Gabe put down due to a heart condition. He was a great dog.

We had a great time in Sumter for Christmas. Porter has started walking (some) and he had a blast opening his presents. We got a wii and have been having a blast with it so far.
