A Little Bit of Porter!



I don’t normally sing like this, I was doing it to be silly to get Porter to laugh! Little did I know he would sing along!

A Recap of This Week!

This week has been a nightmare! Last Sunday I took Cole and Porter to instacare only to discover Cole had strep throat and Porter had RSV! After getting a shot while there Cole started feeling better Monday afternoon so we got through that. On Thursday I decided to take Porter back to instacare because he wasn’t much better. I decided to get looked at also as I’ve been battling a cold for a month or more. An x-ray determined I have pneumonia! They said Porter was fine. After needing sleep and being exhausted, Porter was fussy all through the night and woke up and was extremely fussy Friday morning. Luckily Braxton and I had doctor’s appointments so I took the baby with us. I had the doctor look at him and he has now developed an ear infection. The doctor told us that there was a lot of junk in his throat and that if he started showing any signs of difficulty breathing we need to take him straight to the hospital to get his throat suctioned out! I am glad this week is over and I am keeping the baby locked up until RSV season is over!                                                                                                                       

Porter's First Cereal!

I decided I wanted to try feeding Porter some cereal the other night. He’s getting close enough to four months that I thought a little would be ok. He did pretty good and didn’t seem to mind! Here’s the fun event:                                                                                                                                                                          

Styrofoam Nightmare!!!

So the other day I was putting together some night stands for our bedroom. They were in boxes packed tight with styrofoam. At first it was cute and all three boys were laughing and having fun, but then it was just plain messy!!!

Porter is Three Months!

Porter has been such a great addition to our family! It has been hard adjusting to a new baby! We were so set on our schedule and being able to go whenever we wanted to, and we’ve had to re-learn what it’s like having a baby around! He is 13 lbs. now, and currently has RSV. He’s been on and off sick since Christmas and I hope it will someday go away!
Some of Porter’s favorite things are:
Watching t.v., playing with his brothers, playing on his toy mat, smiling, chewing on his fingers, swinging in his swing, kicking his feet, and bobbing his head!
He has acid reflux and is on medicine. This is my first baby who has nursed and I really have decided I like it. The idea in general was just weird to me before. He sleeps through the night most nights, and is in his own room now! We love this little guy and enjoy every minute with him! Even all the poopy diapers (which while writing this with him on my lap he just filled)!                                                                   
                      

Cole's Olympic Day!

So I thought this was going to be like a field trip so I took the camera and video camera and was ready to cheer him on! When I got there I was the only parent there! It was just what they were doing that day in preschool and no other parents came! I stayed though and cheered him on!                                                                                                    
Basketball           
 
Hockey

Cole's January Fieldtrip!

The field trip was at the Gateway Museum in Salt Lake. Cole thought it was boring, but he had a lot of fun! The best part of the trip was the helicopter. 
Here are a few highlights:
