Happy Birthday!

The card is a little late in the mail (it's still not mailed) but we wanted you to know that we love you and are thinking of you on your special day!

Kind of fun to try

I saw this on another website and was curious to try it out- I always wondered how fast I typed- Pretty average I guess- I wish they had ten key tests now that I could do- After 4 years at a bank I could ten key in my sleep!

Napping Strike

I thought that babies took naps, I also thought that if you were 8 months old you were still considered a baby. However I failed to take into account that Porter might not believe such things. I am not sure what he thinks he is going to miss. . . . but he is NOT interested in naps.

If I pull the blinds and hold him in the recliner he'll sleep, ah make that doze, but the second I get up to put him in his crib those little eyes pop open! "Hey what am I missing mom?"

Yesterday I reverted to laying next to him on my bed until he fell asleep, but then of course I did to. . . . . . So much for the stuff on my to do list.

A growing personality

It is so fun to watch Porter's personality grow and develop. He is turning into quite the little ham. Yesterday evening we made a trip to Home Depot to get some blinds and Porter was fascinated with everything. Then on the way out he kept making faces at the clerk- who of course told him how cute he was- the more attention she gave him the more he grinned. We of course think he's the cutest baby ever- But with a smile like this who wouldn't think that?

Porter's Easter Camo from Dad

(apparently they have the same taste in clothes)

P.S. It never ceases to amaze me how much uh, stuff.... can come out of a little person.
Some days it seems like my washing machine never stops running.

Almost 1000 miles in just over 48 hours

We took a quick trip this weekend to see family, I thought we were awfully brave considering a long car ride for Porter is usually less than half an hour. Porter was a champ however, and was really only fussy for 30 minutes total or so. We had a lot of fun visiting in the short time we were there- Next time we definatly need to plan for a couple of extra days! Here's a few fun pics of our trip.

Only in Nevada

• Only in Nevada are there ashtrays in the actual bathroom stall.
• Only in Nevada is the local thrift shop called "The poke and peek" I'm not joking!
• Only in Nevada do you open the 101 things to do with your family guide and find a full page ad for a brothel.
• Only in Nevada do you see this sign right next to the city exit sign. Believe it or not this sign was relatively mild compared to a couple of others we saw.
