We took porter out to Thanksgiving point to see some of the animals. He loves to go on little outings with Cory and I, and so we try to go do something at least twice a month as a family. He liked to see the roosters and chickens and found it really neat that when they crowed it sounded just like cocka doodle doo. These goats were really friendly and porter liked to feed them.



Riding the horse was a treat, afterwards he told the pony thank you and patted him and said bye bye.

There were cute little baby goats, which we told porter were called Kids and he was a bit confused about all that. All the animals had their babies from the bunnies to the foals and calfs.

monkey boy

porter climbs up on top of his car and then shrieks " look at me mommy! look at meeee!"


I can tell porter is going to be a handful.... one of those kids that jumps off your roof and breaks their leg, or climbs up the tree and gets stuck at the top. Sounds like me as a kid!

my big boys

Okay mom and Mary I know I have not posted much as of late.. So I am here posting just for you! I guess I feel like not much is going on to write about, but actually a lot is going on and I guess I am just lazy!

Porter seems so old all of a sudden. He sings to himself often, he likes to make up his own songs but every now and then I can tell he is trying to sing one we have taught him. The other day in the car cory and I were talking and then both fell silent to try and hear what porter was singing in the back seat.. it was so cute that we couldnt help laughing but tried to do so quietly so he wouldnt stop singing.. he was singing " there was a farm... eieioooo.. with a mooo mooo here and a moo mooo here... and a mooo mooo here... and a mooo mooo here.... and on the farm the was a chicken... with a moo mooo here and a moo moo here...." it was a sing songy and cute and so funny becuase it didnt really make sence! He also likes to sing a spanish song that cory taught him.. I dont really know what he is singing but I know its spanish.

Porter is talking up a storm now. He is getting to smart! Two days ago we left his cars at amy's house. He informed me the following day " my cars mom!, lets go get them." I told him we didnt have a car becuase papi took it to work. " call papi on the phone, tell him to come home" "lets go get my cars". " i will put my shoes on mommy, get dressed lets go get them (refering to his cars)"

Theo is so big, he can sit up assisted. He still doesnt seem interested in rolling over yet but will play in tummy time for 30 plus minutes. He will spin in a circle trying to reach toys, or go backwards sometimes. He is a really happy baby and smiles and laughes easily. He loves to be thrown in the air, and is ticklish on his belly. He makes cute cooing sounds and has started to make ba ba ba as well.

haircut

most of Theo's orriginal baby hair fell out and blond hair has been growing in slowly. however he still had a good four inches on the crown of his head of the orriginal baby hair. I finally caved in and cut about two inches off if it. He looks so blond now that the dark hair is cut off! My baby boy is growing so fast too.. and look at his rolly polly cuteness. He is so soft and cuddly, I love it!

ZOO

Okay so my camera is on the fritz, actually i thin its my memory card so i am putting a new one in. But the pictures from the zoo are all fuzzy so sorry! A lot of them didn't turn out at all, sadly. Here are a few from the giraffes though. Porter was completely enthralled.

he came over to say hi, and was only about 6 inches from us! it was awesome.
all three giraffes in a row enjoying a sun bath. ( sorry the picture is poor quality)
Porter loves to wear his sun glasses and complains its too bright outside if he doesn't have them on, its cute but also annoying when I cant find there and need to go to the store or something!
What Theo did at the Zoo all day.. chilled in the stroller.

On Saturday we took Porter and Theo to the Zoo. A good time was had by all. Porter really liked the Giraffes, Elephants, and Snakes. He was really excited when the snake was slithering around the cage. Cory and I have no idea why this was so exciting! Porter was jumping up and down shrieking with delight over it. I don't have any pictures of this because my camera died shortly after we got to the Zoo. We will have to go again later this summer and take some more pictures. This is the last year porter is free, so I guess we will have to take advantage of that!

birthday

Today i am 27 years old. That sounds so old to me! I still feel like I am a teen, and look at me in my late twenties! I wonder if you ever really feel "grown up". I still feel like I am bumbling through life not quite sure what I am doing.

To celebrate Cory and I are going to drop the boys off at his moms and go to dinner. I love going out to dinner because I don't have to cook, clean up, or juggle the boys. It will be nice to eat in peace. Its a rare occasion!
