11 months and then some...

My dear sweet baby boy,
I'm talking to you on the phone right now.
Babagagamamadada.
The sweetest sounds that fill my life right now.
 
 
You are the most adorable thing I have ever experienced.
You are so fun and funny.
Right now you are very into imitating laughter,
which makes you mommy and daddy laugh even more.
 
 
You still have a very laidback personality,
but when you want something you definitely know
how to ask for it demand it.
 
 
You are very curious about everything and everyone.
You are not shy either. You go to anyone and love to people watch.
 
 
You are still a very good baby....
even with lots of teeth coming in right now.
I think you have four or five coming in on the top.
I want to make note that you grew in
your two middle bottom teeth around 7 months.
And we waited and waited and waited...
it wasn't until 11 months that your top middle tooth
looked like it was coming in...
BUT then your top canine just shot out...
then your lateral incisor...
then your other lateral incisor...
we're still waiting on the top middle teeth to come in.
 
 
You are a great traveler.
You do well in the car...
and on the boat...
 
First boat ride 7.4.14 Daddy & Porter

You still aren't walking, but you are getting very close.
You are very content with your fast crawl and pulling up on everything.
 

 
We spend a lot of time in the living room playing on the floor.
You are lots of fun to play with
and lately you have been very cuddly.
You will be playing, and all of a sudden
you will crawl over to mommy and sit in her lap.
I love this!
 
 
Mommy & Porter 7.26.14
You started drinking whole milk a couple weeks ago.
You have done very well with it,
and you still eat like a pig.
 
 
You still love your feet.
You prop them up on everything.
And you even use them to move and grab things.
You are just like your daddy!
 
 
 
Your birthday is this Saturday,
and mommy truly can't believe it.
Right now, you have a little cold,
but it's the first time you have even been to the doc
since you were 5 months old.
We are very grateful for your good health.
 
 
We love your spirit of adventure
and your very easy-going attitude.
You are just very likeable and fun to be around.
Everyone always comments on how good you are.
And we couldn't agree more!
 
Mommy, Daddy & Porter Summer 2014
You started giving kisses on July 12th, 2014.
I want to remember that date because it was
the sweetest moment of my life.
We love you, Porter Pie!
