Porter Update

I am so many cute picture and videos, and Porter is doing so many cute things, that I had to do another update on him. He just blows me away with his adorableness everyday. Here are some of Porter's favorite things to do. HE LOOOOVES BUGS! I can't even explain how much he loves them. Whenever we are outside, that is the first thing that he looks for. He can search for bugs for hoursI cringe when I see him picking up his 'wildlife', but I have to turn the other way and let him be a boy I guess..haha. I mean, look how proud he looks with the little potato bug he found.
And this day he played with this little lady bug forever!!
Another thing he loves is playing cars and dinosaurs. EVERY morning he wakes up, come in our room and says, "Mamma, Daddy get up. Let's play cars", or "let's play dinosaurs." It is so much fun watching him play. He has such an imagination and is so creative. This particular day, he lined up his dinosaurs all in a circle to read them a story..haha! He is so adorable!


He LOVES water




He loves playing outside, especially at parks. This is favorite park because it has dinosaurs to ride on and lots of sand. He also refuses to ride in the baby swings anymore and has mastered the big swings. I can't believe how fast he is growing and learning.
He loves being creative and doing fun arts and crafts activities. It is so fun to see the fun projects that he comes up with...even if it is getting into my purse and putting on my makeup while I am in the bathroom..haha! Here he is playing with our homemade play dough. He loved it. I found a very simple and awesome recipe for play dough. Let me know if anyone wants it.
And here he is playing with bubble bath paints. He has a beautiful little voice when he sings, and is the bestest most entertaining dancer any of you have ever seen!

This little guy just cracks me up.


The big news about this post is that Porter is now potty trained except at night. Yippee!! The minute I started being consistent with putting him underwear all the time he did fabulous. He is always so independent and proud when he goes to the potty and washes his hands by himself. He is such a big boy!!!
Porter is such a sweet little boy. A couple of days ago he asked if he could give the prayer. He then put his hands on my head to say the prayer. It was so cute. He must have remembered when Paul had given him a blessing.
Porter has these play glasses. The other day he got them out and put them on. He sat on the couch and said, "now I need a big book". He then went over and got Paul's Physics book from when he was in college. Haha. I guess he knows that smart people wear glasses and read big books..haha! Paul and I were dying. So incredibly cute!! H Here is a couple more cute pictures of our little Portie.He still rock and cuddles his stuffed animals, and carries around his blankie to snuggle with. He is so good at sharing, and caring about other people's needs. I love how sensitive he is. If I look tired or rest on the couch, he comes over and rubs my cheeks and tells me to rest and close my eyes..how sweet is he!! When I tell him I love him he always says back, "I love you too Mamma." It just melts my heart. He is going to be such a wonderful big brother when our 2nd little guy gets here. He is also such a perfectionist (definitely not from me..lol). We came home from the park the other day, and I kicked off my shoes in the front room. Porter kicked his off, then picked them right up and said, "Mamma..we need to put our shoes away in our rooms." Haha.. the things you learn from a 2 year old. And he is always so good at helping to put his clothes and toys away. I just love this little boy more than words can say. I am so thankful that I am able to stay at home with him and watch him grow and learn. We are so incredibly lucky to have this little bundle of joy in our home. We love you so much Porter.
