10 months have come and gone

 Our baby boy is growing up so fast!

 

Only two more months and you'll be a year old.

Time truly has played a trick on us.

 

 

You are doing something new every day.

You are very talkative and moving around like crazy.

You are still skinny, but you are getting very long.

 

And (drumroll please)....

 

You started crawling last Friday, June 20, 2014.

 

 

We've been waiting for you to start any day now.

You would get up on your knees and

maybe scoot forward a little but that was all.

Your dad was dropping you off at Aunt Maureen's,

and he said he set you on the bed and you just took off.

I love the face you have in the video.

Like you're just so proud of yourself.

 

We're so proud of you too.

(Even though it means a lot more work for us ;)

 

 

You are also scooting all over the place in your walker.

You really know how to maneuver that thing.

Your dad said one morning you were heading towards the living room,

but then you saw him peeling a banana and you turned around to go after it.

You are so silly.

 

You were even doing this before you started crawling...

 

 

You are obviously very determined.

You know what you want and you just go for it.

 

You are still such a pig!

You want to eat everything!

 

EE's 61st birthday. 5.28.14

Sometimes we hide from you when we eat

because you will throw a fit.

 

And you have just started throwing some major fits this past weekend.

You were such a grumpy butt at church on Sunday.

 

We don't mind too much though because most of the time we get this...

 

 

And even this early in the morning...

 

 

You and Scout have started to interact more.

Most of the time it consists of you crawling over to her

to grab her tail or pinch her cheek or touch her belly.

Usually she just gets up and moves somewhere else,

but sometimes she can be sweet.

 

 

Your hair is still growing and the weight is making it more tame.

But it does get in your eyes and most of the time when I pick

you up in the afternoons it is pulled up like this...

 

 

You can thank your aunts for all that.

 

We are really enjoying the summer time.

 

 

You love to swim.

You either kick your feet like crazy

or just totally relax in your float.

 

 

We are getting to spend a lot of time with cousins.

We think you might be a little comedian.

You love to make people laugh,

and you love to laugh yourself.

You are so much fun to watch and just be around.

 

This has been one of our favorite pastimes...

 

 

We cheer for you and you just love it!

 

 

It's amazing to see you figuring out the world through

those big blue eyes of yours.

 

We love you, Porter!
