Porter 7 Months

Amidst all the Thanksgiving celebrations, Porter turned 7-months-old!  He is growing up way faster than James or I would like, but it is so fun to watch him discover new things and become more independent!

Few things cuter than a bath baby!

My sister-in-law's mom knitted this for Porter.  I received it as a baby shower gift, and he's finally big enough to wear it. He melted hearts at church this Sunday!

Big boy sitting in the front part of the cart now!

Holding his own bottle.

We saw this tie and it had to be purchased!

This is what working looks like for me in the afternoon.  He's usually really good about keeping himself entertained.

Cutting his first two teeth!

Getting in to all sorts of mischief!

I love how he sleeps with bum up in the air!

Now sitting in the high chairs at the restaurants.

He prefers empty diaper boxes and my lotion to all his fun toys.

Can't get over those big brown eyes!

Here are a few more things that Porter has done this month:

• He's starting to get really good at holding his own sippy cup and drinking his juice.
• He stopped breastfeeding.  I dried right up with him eating so many solids now.  And let's be honest, I didn't make a very big effort to keep my supply up.  Breastfeed...not my favorite!
• He pooped in he bathtub for the first time.
• He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth.
• He pees out of his diaper almost ever night.  We even put him in a size 3 at night.  Lots of laundry!
• He started clapping.
• He has started playing and splashing in his bath.
• He is really great at going to bed somewhere else and transferring to his own bed when we get home.
• He is still taking naps every two hours because his naps are not very long.
• By the end of the month, he was starting to army crawl around.
