Porter, Kelli, Ashlee, Mathew, Darlene and I had a day trip to Carbon County to visit Grandma B. The car was full and Mathew heard plenty of "Porter" songs, but overall we had great time.

Just as a side note Porter recently had a well baby check up and the results were as follows: weight-16 pounds 6 ounces (31st percentile), length-25 inches (8th percentile), and head circumference- 42.9 inches (55th percentile).

Kortney's wedding

Kinda Funny that I don't have any pictures of Kortney on Her big day, but here are some pictures of us on Kortney's wedding day.

Porter is envious of the crawling babies

Porter is five months, he is getting so big!
Porter has been loving tummy time for a while now and I
know any day he is going to be a very mobile baby. He is
not a boring baby and he loves to always be in the action.

Porter in the beginning

Birth was traumatic for Porter and me! I had really long labor (36 hours) and Porter was born at 3:15 AM. He was 20 inches long, 7 pounds and ounces. He had a major cone head from being in the birth canal so long. He was a bit of an alien baby but the head took shape and it is now very round.

Our gift. We found out we were pregnant right after my birthday, we found out on the ultrasound that we were having a boy right after Justin's birthday, and porter was born right after Christmas. He truly is a present.

At birth, Justin is such a proud and happy Dad, he even looks great for being awake for two days straight.

Memorabilia from the Hospital

Porter at 9 weeks. He loved his mobile and would start to air run when it would spin around and he would always keep his eye on the weird looking cow.

Porter at two weeks, so cute!
Porter's first swim in Park City at 12 weeks

Porter is hard at play, he fell asleep under his activity mat.

Porter at bath time. Normally he just takes a shower because that is what I take and it is easier to just put him in than leave him out and cry. These pictures are taken about 3 months. Porter had is baby blessing on March 1st, 2009. Justin gave him a wonderful blessing and during the blessing Justin told me that Porter just stared at him the whole time. He didn't cry and had a big smile on his face. And the last two pictures were taken the end of March at Sears. It was an interesting experience and by the end Sadie and I were about to loose our cool towards the head photographer. I really like the pictures, but whenever I see them I think of the photographer and I just have to shake my head. Hopefully blogging will help me keep track of pictures and memories, because my little baby Porter sure is growing up fast and I want to give him a wonderful blog book one day of his life.
Just as a side note on week 10 Porter weighed 12 pounds and 8 ounces (56th percentile), was 22.5 inches (19th percentile), and had a head circumference of 40.4 cm (48th percentile).
