Update

As the rain stops and the sun shines, we have ventured outdoors to work in the yard, play with friends and enjoy the fresh air before it gets too hot and I start complaining about the heat.  Porter probably won't complain and Jonas just tags along wherever we go.

First time in the high chair to eat. Such a big boy!  I have found out the way to get Porter to eat vegetables... Give them to Jonas in baby food form.  Without fail Porter will want to try them and will eat them:).  Wish I would have thought of that before!



Taking his first scooter ride with our neighbor.  Do you think he liked it?  Ummm, "yes way"!


We've been gardening and watering.  Porter loves to plant seeds and help water.  He wakes up some mornings and asks to plant herbs.  David and the boys go out early in the morning when I am running and get sites ready for planting.  They trim back bushes and pull weeds.  David is such a great dad to always let the boys feel apart of every project.


Working on a Father's Day gift.  He had to wear the gloves.


Because everyone needs to see a smile like this!  And because Jonas loves to eat.
Things he's eaten:
Applesauce, pears, peaches, bananas, green beans, carrots, squash, spinach, mashed potatoes, smoothie with yogurt, spinach and mixed berries, chicken, yogurt, beans.  That's all I can think of right now.  But, today he had his first real big boy food poop.  Since he only poops every 4+ days, when he poops I seriously think it's equivalent to 5 poops. It just comes and comes.  I think he must have pooped on/off for 20 minutes this am.  Lucky us:).


Porter and his buddy Chase.  So sad this friend is moving this month.





We took the boys to Laird Park last night.  Porter calls it the "sand park". When David told him we were going he was beyond excited.  He was skipping around and saying "I love the sand park."  He was giddy and of course we couldn't think of a better way to spend our night then watching Porter play and explore and be utterly gleeful.  Jonas even got in on the fun and got to swing for the first time by himself.  He was in heaven too and giggled happily as he swung.  Life through the eyes of s child is pure joy.


After spending time tackling jobs at our house, David set off this am to help out friend hang gutters. He's a good man.  He is always busy doing and serving.  He seems to rarely tire and even if he's tired and someone is in need, he is there.  I am constantly amazed by the service he renders and the amount he is able to accomplish.
