December 2010

The month of December was a really busy month. If you can believe it we didn't even have snow stuck to the ground in the beginning of December, you can see Porter playing with Lola. Lola has gotten so fast and when we play fetch she is like lightening fast.
Porter is a great older brother to Coleman, and he has become such a great helper. He loves to entertain Coleman, and make sure the keep the Binky in his mouth. Porter will also roll Coleman's bumbo around to make sure he always has a seat.
For Christmas my mom gave Porter a canvas map for cars and a sack full of toys cars ready. Porter is obsessed with cars, so it was nearly a perfect gift.
Porter had his first emergency room visit in early December, he was pushed off of a bench and smacked his head pretty hard on some tile. Later that night he couldn't walk straight and he kept on throwing up. I took him to the ER and he had a CAT scan. Porter was so brave, he did have a concussion but he is doing great now.
Christmas morning with the Babes.

For thanksgiving we went to my mom's house to have one of her good old fashioned thanksgiving dinners. Man, is my family getting big. A house full of toddlers is a lot of work. For one of the activities we got all the kids together and made turkeys out of oreos. Porter had no interest in making the turkey's, but he did have a high level of interest in eating the cookies. Porter loves cookie monster( he doesn't even watch sesame street but he definitely knows who cookie monster is) probably because he loves cookies so much.

and then we had kids....who do you think they look like?













I am going to give Justin a published version of our blog for Christmas, and I wanted to highlight him in this last post. but what I realized was that since we have had kids I no longer take pictures of us and focus my amazing photography skills on our kids. So, I am putting a few photos of us on this post from before we had kids and before we had the blog, a time when I actually took pictures of us.

Coleman 3 months

Man, time is flying by! Little Coleman is growing up in a flash. Porter loves his little brother and tries to kiss him all of the time; he also enjoys pushing Coleman in the swing, rolling him on the floor, and shoving the binkie in his mouth as Justin and I say "soft". Coleman is such a good baby!!!!! He sleeps really well, about 8 hours straight through the night, he smiles all of the time, and loves running through the air while lying down. I just hope he stays so happy as he grows up.

Happy Halloween

We had a really good time for Halloween, and Porter even braved the weather to go trick or treating. He would go to the doors and yell "trick or treat" but then instead of taking a treat he would steal a treat from one of the other kids around him. Heather, the amateur photographer, is practicing for class and will give me many more photos of gardner village and halloween .
