Should have thought this through

She loved the spaghetti she had for lunch today. Only 1 problem that I should have thought through a little better...




I knew she was a little tired, and I knew that she rubs her ear when she's tired.

I didn't think about the outcome being like this...

Needless to say, we had a VERY early bath today!

Super Buddy Time

The last few weeks Addison has been playing a lot with Kanyon! We are so happy that he is home and without tubes and can come over and swim and play.

A few weeks ago at small group Kanyon and Addison were having a talk. He's listening so intently!

Last Wednesday Kanyon came over to swim. While they were getting lathered up they decided to hold hands!

Addison loves belly buttons! She found Kanyon's, he wasn't too sure what to think about that.

Addison was trying to help Kanyon bounce in his bouncy seat. Made me a little nervous, the combination of his amazing bouncing skills and her help got him going pretty good!

She got distracted by his paci

Addison liked playing with this basketball, Kanyon was just excited to hang out.

At first she though about sharing the basketball.

Once Kanyon got his hands on it she changed her mind.

She eventually got it back... I guess we need to work on sharing!!


Kanyon: "Ummm... not sure what to do here, HELP mom!"

Jaymie pulled out the bubbles and Addison loved them!

We've been hanging out with Kanyon so much that Addison decided that she wanted to try his hair style... I think he pulls it off a little better!

Yesterday Blake came over to play while Mallory went to the ACA Olympics. Addison didn't know he was coming so she decided to sleep almost the whole time he was here.

When she did wake up they shared a picnic snack. Addison ate hers so nice and lady like, and Blake, in true Porter male style, just shoveled it it!

Then they decided to share the chair!

My sister made comment on the last post... Yes, Addison is walking. She started on Saturday and is still going! It's so fun to watch! Last night he almost ran from the coffee table to recliner to get to Christopher. I'll have pictures soon. We kept trying to get a video, but she can get the camera must faster crawling so that's what she does.

Lesson learned

ALWAYS check to see if the deodorant and hairspray bottles have switched places in the women’s locker room before attempting to squirt hairspray on your hair to revamp the curls that fell while you were working out…

My hair will not sweat today!

oh man...

Something I never thought that I would Press and Seal for...


Christopher has been really into golf lately. But this was the latest result. I call it, good thought plus not thinking plus bad shot = broken window.

Luckily all the windows in our house have several different panes so when Chris decided to try and hit a whiffle ball OVER the house and had a bad shot, it wasn't too much of a big deal. Except for the fact there was glass all over the living room (if you've been in my house, it was all the way to the love seat on the back wall under the crosses.) I said "I just don't understand how you think it was a good idea to try and hit over the house." His response, "I don't understand how you can back into a house." ouch... that's fair I guess, the different in costs of us not thinking things through... only $905.

I've been told "I need to see pictures of that baby" Well Chisolm, here you go...

As for Addison well she has been up to...

She now brushes her teeth! She has always loved watching Chris and I brush our teeth, she laughs, now we give her her toothbrush in the bath tub and she starts scrubbing! It's so funny!

She can climb on so many things now, she tries to climb out of the bathtub when I ask her if she's ready to tell the water bye-bye.

Like I said, she likes to climb. It starts on the jumper like this...

Then we end up here...

This somehow she winds up in this position. Don't worry I was there to offer support if she started to fall, but I was more curious to see how she was going to get herself into her jumper. She did a pretty good job right? She actually played like this for a while, then I got nervous about the circulation in that bottom leg and took her out, about 30 seconds later she was right back in the same position.

She files her toe nails! Can you tell she's seen me do this to her a time or two??

We make bubbles in the dishwasher door. She loves them and just laughs!

She wears all her bows at once. I was making a new bow holder, which she broke in about 5 seconds, and I decided to put as many bows on her head as I could. I think she looks cute!

She took them off and tried to give them to her dad.

I got her this rocking chair for $10 at a garage sale down the street. I was so excited. When we got it home I realized that she can climb in and out of it very quickly. So we learned just as quick that you have to keep your bottom in the chair, it was a struggle at first, but now she climbs up and immediately sits!

She's been drinking from her sippie cup for a while, but... now we are ONLY using a sippie cup! She hasn't figured out the tipping up of a real sippie cup so we have to use the straw cups. Our pediatrician likes for babies to be off of a bottle by 1, so we started working on more sippie cup and less bottle and it just went from there. I hope potty training can go as easy at the transition to finger foods and sippie sups!

I just love this picture of her and Christopher

She likes to walk around the house holding your hand, won't do it on her own yet.

THE END
