"Dancing King"

I was making dinner tonight and had some music playing. When I turned around, Porter was just dancing away so I got a little clip of it. He does this whenever he hears music.

Park in the Fall

Porter's walking! Well, he's up to 4 consecutive steps.

I wish Porter was looking at the camera in this picture. Haha - I forget how small his head is or maybe mine is just really big.

You can see his two bottom teeth pretty good in this one. This morning we found an upper one coming in. That makes three!

I thought Porter looked really old in this one. He's wearing big boy shoes.

Wood for Winter

We recently purchased a wood burning stove to help on heating costs this winter and in an effort to make ourselves more prepared. Ben has gone out the last couple of weekends to get wood. This is what our backyard looks like. Now that it's all here, we just have to cut it up!

Porter likes to help too!

New Tricks

Porter mimics very well and is now clapping and can sound like an Indian. He even attempts to do both at the same time. Believe it or not, he is even taking steps! Our baby will be walking any day now. AH! Porter just got his first two teeth. They came in at the same time. He's changing so much and talks nonstop all day long. We love it all!

Porter at bedtime

Porter and I took a little trip to Montana this past week to visit my parents. He did okay on the trip - he really doesn't like to be locked up for very long. We had a great visit except my dad had injured his shoulder and couldn't really play with Porter. You can see from this video he got some good laughs out of him though. Porter loves his grandparents and even adapted to Kipper (their puppy). Thanks mom and dad for letting us stay with you!

Straw Maze

We went with a couple families to this straw maze and had a blast! There was creepy music, spider webs and chasing... oh my! It was pastPorter's bedtime so he wasn't the happiest, but he was a good sport and fell asleep as soon as he was in the car.

Halloween!

Ben surprised me with a date night a couple weekends ago and we carved these FABULOUS pumpkins. It was really fun! Neither of us had carved pumpkins for many years. They're not very artistic (as neither of us were blessed with those talents), but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless.
