Still love him

Even though Porter is getting more and more naughty how can you not help but love this face.


Pastry Class

I hired a woman from the ward that is a culinary specialist to come and teach me and a few friends.  We made Molten Lava Cake and Cream Puffs.  It was a lot if fun and delicious.

It's here

Finally spring has arrived and we played outside.  It was so refreshing and Porter could run his little legs.  He also practiced his backward walking.  And I must say he is pretty remarkable.  



We are on the house hunt.  When did everything get so expensive.  Originally we had hoped to stay in the Salt Lake area, but we haven't found anything that we like in our budget, or the house is cute, but way overpriced for the square footage.  Ugg.  Tomorrow we are broadening our search to the Millcreek area.  I'm not sold on the area yet, but maybe I'll change my mind tomorrow.

Food fight

Porter has turned into a little stinker at mealtimes.  He will eat, but as soon as he decides he's done he starts throwing food.  The first time he did it I tried so hard not to laugh, but it was pretty funny. I would bend over to clean stuff up off the floor and then I'd get hit in the head or back with food.  Most likely I am partly to blame for this continued behavior since I initially laughed.  Porter laughs now whenever he does it.  It makes for a super messy cleanup.  

We took a little dip in the pool today.  Porter thinks he doesn't need me so its becoming a little struggle.  I'm glad he likes to do so much on his own, but how do I teach him that somethings he still needs our help?


He has upped his weight to 2lbs.  I guess those 1 lb weights were just too light.

Conference Weekend

We had a great weekend watching conference, seeing friends and having Ashley come up to stay.

Porter Loves Aunt Ash.  He was really silly this weekend.  He started rubbing his eyes to pretend like he's tired and then he peaks under his hand to see if you're looking and then gets a little smirk and laughs.



Caught in the act:  Porter has decided that when he is hungry, he will take matters into his own hands.  I caught him getting an apple out of the fridge.  He ate almost all of it.  Then he pulled out the jug of milk.  The next day he got out grape tomatoes and ate them whole.  I guess I don't need to cut up his food anymore.   


On a walk conference am.

Pretending he's tired.
