Giggles

I wanted to share this video of Porter laughing.  He wasn't doing this the last time the fam saw him and I thought you might enjoy it.  (Just a note for those of you this is being e-mailed to, you have to go to the actual blog to view it.)  Loves to all!

Too Cute!

My St. Patrick's Day babies.  (Ainsley is wearing green, but the book is covering it up).

Too funny!

This girl makes me smile!

Picture time!

Porter braving the couch.

This is his favorite toy ever.  Thanks Adam and Randi!  It has definitely gotten its use!

The first time Porter crawled up in this chair.  He loves to climb up there and look out the window.

The last time I updated about Porter was the end of January.  He has changed so much in the last few weeks, it is crazy!  The middle to end of February Porter really started to babble.  He says "da da" and "mama" (just making the sounds, not calling us that) and he makes other noises all the time.  He is a talker or a squealer!  He has been able to sit up for a long time, but he never really stayed that way very long.  He was always too interested in getting places.  But now he will sit up and play with toys for a while. March has brought big changes.  The 4th of March he pulled himself up on the furniture for the first time.  About a day or two after that he was holding onto it and walking along the couch.  March 10th Porter crawled!  He has been army crawling since January but he actually crawled and once he figured it out there was no going back.  The first day he got up on his hands and his right knee and drug his left leg along.  It only took him a few hours to figure out how to get his left leg up there.  He also reaches up for me to pick him up.  I think that is so sweet.  He is a big cuddler.  He loves to hug into me and rest his head on my shoulder.  I love it!  He is getting so big!
