Hadley and I

Hadley and I had so much fun playing! We haven't seen each other in a long time so there were lots of hugs! Mommy says I have to be nice to girls, so I let her give me hugs and kisses!

Swimming with Daddy!

I got to go swimming at my cousin Lizzie's birthday party. I had so much fun swimming with daddy! He would go under the water and I would just laugh, because I couldn't find him! I was pretty brave I would put my face all the way under the water! I had so much fun swimming with my daddy, I told Lizzie to have a 9 year old one week birthday party next week so we can do it again!

Me and my Piggy Bank

Mommy and Daddy had lots of change sitting in a big container in their bedroom, so they decided that we would put lots of money in my piggy bank! I loved to put money in my piggy bank, so much so that mommy kept opening it and taking some coins out so that I could put them back in! Daddy says that I am going to be Mr. Crab's Jr. (Mommy calls daddy Mr. Crabs)! I just can't wait until mommy and daddy gives me more money to put in it, it is my new favorite game! Now I just have to figure out how to get it out!

Fall Love

It was so nice out on Tuesday that after I got done spending the day with Grandma Joan I got to play outside at home with mommy and daddy! I love to run around, climb up the porch steps, run in the rocks and down the grass hill in the front yard! I make mommy nervous when I climb up the steps because I sometimes get daring and try to go down the steps like a big person! I wish it was like this out all year round, then I could just romp and roam without having to be all bundled up! I would have loved to play in the leaves but mommy and daddy have racked them up before it snows, they ruin all of my fun!

Lounging Around

I love lounging around on my ched. Mommy loves it when I lounge around as well, she says it is the only time that I sit still for more than 10 seconds. I am a very active boy, can you believe that I weigh 24 pounds 10 oz!?!?!? I can't, I think the doctors scale is wrong :)

Mommy caught me lounging with my popper before bathtime tonight!

Before and After

Before

After

Mommy was very sad to realize how old I look when my hairs are cut! She really couldn't believe how much older I look when those few little hairs are tammed! So I wanted to include a before and after picture, they are not on the same day but they are within three days of each other!

Sunday Morning...

Sunday morning mommy and daddy found me in my crib with no pants on and only one sock on! They thought it was pretty funny, so mommy decided to take pictures of me. I couldn't just wait for mommy to get her camera and take pictures of me, so I went on with my day, brushing my teeth and getting in my morning milk! I enjoy walking around with no pants on! Mommy says that I should while I can still get away with it! Daddy says you can always get away with it, just don't invite people over :)

Halloween '09

I was a Gorilla for Halloween, the friendlest looking Gorilla
that anyone has ever seen! I had a little trouble walking
at first so I had fallen down a few times and had a little bit
of trouble standing back up. Daddy and mommy were so
impressed with how well I went into my Gorilla costume
and I didn't even try to take off the head piece of the
costume. Here is a picture of my mommy and daddy with
me, I think I was adopted ;)

So happy!

So happy in my new cute... I mean manly jammies :)

Carving Pumpkins!

Mommy and I decided to carve pumpkins... I really didn't mind it for the first couple of minutes (actually about the time that it took her to cut the top off of the pumpkin). I then decided that I didn't like it very much. I included a picture of my daddy's face, he really DISLIKES carving pumpkins, he even dislikes the smell of pumpkins! He made these funny faces a lot, they made me laugh. So we hid in the bedroom while mommy carved two of the three pumpkins, she decided that it wasn't very much fun to carve pumpkins alone! She is hoping that Porter enjoys carving pumpkins next year, so that someone will share in the joy of Halloween...
