My boys (9/15/17)

I love, love, love my boys.

Porter and David are best friends.  Porter is definitely still one of a kind.  His emotions are still big.  But in some ways I can see him maturing.  I can shop with him and tell him 'no' and he'll put things back and come with me.  He negotiates and uses all my lines in me.  "You can give me candy or let me watch a show, which one?"  He likes Caitlyn in his preschool class and told me he wanted to marry her.  He has learned the power words "he" and "is".  Although "is" initially tricked him and he thought it was spelled "iz".
He learned about gravity and he said it's the stuff that makes you fall or stay on the ground.  Porter is growing.  He doesn't fit in size 4 very good, so we are starting to buy size 5 clothes.  And size 6 (huge) underwear because there is no size 5.
Tonight I told Porter not to get big.  He said, "I'm going to get big at some point."
Jonas is a gem.  He is funny and sweet.  He says please and thank you.  He'll quickly say sorry when he gets in trouble.  He tries so hard to be like Porter. He wants to be big and you better not tell him he's not.  He smiles easily and is generally pleasant. He can whine, so we're working on that.  He is a big help and cheerfully does it.  It's a little easier to redirect his tantrums.  People offer him things... Gatorade, sticker, etc and he'll say, "I don't need that.", "I'm alright (okay)".  People are always so surprised when he says that.  The first time he did it I laughed.

Mason is adorable.  He's busy and curious.  He sticks all kinds of things in his mouth.  He has stood unassisted once.  I'm pretty sure it was a fluke. He stands up and walks around things or pushes things and walks.  He still wakes up 2 or 3 times a night :(.  And sometimes he wakes up between 5:15 and. 5:45am.  Not my favorite. Good thing he's so darn cute.  Today while I was feeding him I couldn't believe how big he is.  All I could think about was that I grew him. Pretty cool.  He is 9 months tomorrow!!

I need to write more frequently about my boys.  They are our life.  We adore them.
