Beyond Cereal

Porter seems to at least tolerate the strained peas.  Actually liking them, I don't know that we're there yet.

So Close to Crawling

Right now the little monster seems to only be able to move in reverse, until reaching an obstacle that is.  No forward gears but I get the feeling that he'll figure that one out very soon.

The Jig Is Up

The boy figured out that bathwater doesn't have to be a disappointment.  So much for dry shirts.

Porter Eats!

Here are a few videos taken with my cell phone of Porter doing stuff.

The first is Porter talking. Well, mostly me talking. The first 8 seconds are the best part- he makes some adorable faces.

Here is the 1st time we fed Porter rice cereal.

And here's a more recent video of the eating phenomenon. As you can see, it is harder for us than for him.

Porter is doing great. He had his 4 month well child check and is still quite a robust guy. He had no troubles with his 2nd set of shots. He is rolling over both ways right now and has slept through the night a couple of times (of course, not on work nights, but I'm not going to complain too much...).

In other news, Sean and I are considering job offers. We had a lovely time in Port Angeles and have a few more interviews next month (in Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, and Portland). We are going to make a decision in April. We'll keep you posted!

Starting on Solids

The P-Monster's nearly 5 months old now and he's started hitting the rice cereal every couple of days.  So far it's going pretty well except that he really wants to grab that spoon so I find myself trying to pin his arms with one hand and hit his constantly moving mouth hole with the other.  Pretty funny stuff.

Four Months

Porter hit the four month mark today.  He's doing well and has a new cousin just around the corner(literally) as of a week ago.  That's right, Jeff and Kate had a baby boy as well.  He showed up two weeks early and his name is Axel. 

Look Who's Doing What

 We were in Port Angeles for a couple nights so Michele could go to an interview(a story for another time perhaps since I'm really tired at the moment). This is what happened the night we got there:

Porter started rolling over for real.  He rolled over once before but Michele thinks that was a fluke since we were all on the bed and she believes that I somehow manipulated the mattress to make him roll over.  This time it counted for real, I don't think I'm quite heavy enough to manipulate the hotel floor like that anyway.
