What is Porter up to??

Here is what Porter is up to these days:

(probably boring unless you're family :))

• Walks Everywhere (doesn't crawl at all anymore)!



• LOVES to sleep--12 t0 14 hours a night and 2 naps during the day (usually in weird positions in his crib--see pic below)!!



• LOVES to eat--everything!



• Gave up Paci this week except for at bedtime (did great-hasn't missed it yet)



• We'll try giving up bottle next week, which shouldn't be too hard since he is taking it less and less



• Loves to go outside to swing, swim, or just to walk around



• Is VERY independent and when you're outside with him he tries to run away from you (could cause problems later on ;))



• Says "mama" "dada" and babbles constantly



• Tries to say "book" "elmo" "dog"and "c'mon" (i think--I'm always saying "c'mon Porter" to him whenever we go upstairs/downstairs/outside etc. and now he tries to repeat it!)



• Loves his books and knows what they are, understands what "go get your book" means



• Also knows what "Elmo" is--he loves his chicken dance elmo



• Loves to watch Baby Einstein (particularly First Sounds)



• Likes all music and dances to it when it comes on



• For some strange reason likes all the stupid local commericals that come on!! Like the Carl Hogan Crocodile Hunter, George Sherman, Dave's Dark Horse, and the Cellular South Asteric Commercials (if you live in starkville you'll know these STUPID commercials!!)



• Knows what "cookie" means and he loves his "cookies"



• Throws stuff out of his Crib and jumps up and down in it when he's ready to get out! (the first time he did this, I almost died!! I thought he had fallen out, it sounded awful up there!)



• Drags all of his toys out from their baskets--only for me to have to put them back every night!



• his favorite "toys" are keys and cell phones



• Loves to look out front window and knows Ryan's car when he pulls up and gets real excited!



• Likes to give things to me and then take them back!



• HATES to have his diaper changed and will fight it sometimes!



• Loves baths and cries when it's time to get out!



• Likes to see pictures of himself on the computer--he smiles and points at himself!



• There is a gate blocking the kitchen and he will throw his toys over on the other side and then point at them like he needs to get on the other side to get them--he thinks that's his way over there!



• If he can't reach something (like our keys) he will try to find something to stand on to get to it!!



• will give "kisses" if you ask



• never meets a stranger and likes everyone =)



• loves to see babies and children whenever we're out

One of His many weird positions of sleep!
