Updates Away!

Things are starting to get exciting(like they weren't already) with the boy.  He's regarding his hands all the time, he'll turn them over and clasp them together right in front of his face, looking a little cross eyed the whole time.  He's smiling all the time and Michele and I are starting to figure out things we can do to trigger those smiles.  Just in the last couple days he's started to grasp things that are within his reach, still not the easiest thing for him to pull off but it's pretty cool nonetheless. 

Also, Brandon came over Sunday and graciously took a bunch of pictures for us, I'm still in the process of sorting through them but I'll put the best ones up somewhere soon.  On a related note, Brandon's wife Crystal is at the hospital right now in labor with their own kid.  Is it just me or is everyone having kids right now?

2 months old

Porter is 2 months old now. He had his well child check today and everything seems to be great. He is fatter and taller than most kids his age. His head is so big that it is off the charts compared to kids worldwide and in the 94th percentile compared to american babies (I think he has his dad to thank for that...). He got his first set of shots, and it was most definitely more traumatic for his mother than for him. He cried for maybe 2 minutes. I know that will change as he gets older. And we still have the whole night ahead of us.




I go back to work tomorrow. Sean also goes to work! He'll be taking care of Porter full time, which we both agree will be a tiring but fulfilling job.

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

Unfortunately the outfit got puked on before we could make it to dinner, but at least I got a picture before it's retirement.

Porter speaks!

Porter has been talking a lot lately. Here is a video where we discuss such important topics as the snow and his cuteness.

Snow Day

Porter got his first exposure to snow today. I don't think he really cares much but it was kind of a big deal for Michele and I. Maybe not a big deal, but a deal nonetheless.

Smiles, For Reals!

Only one day after waxing about how hard it is to catch a smile I'm lucky enough to get the real thing on film(or flash memory as the case may be). Two months old in only a couple more days.

Elusive Smiles

So, the boy's been smiling more and more lately, but never long enough to really get a good picture of it. Every time he starts smiling and I whip out the camera, he stops just before I can capture it. This is the closest I've gotten.
