Porter is 10 months old!

Porter is 10 months old now! He's pulling up and cruising around everything, which also means getting into his brother's Legos! He had his 9 month check-up and weighed 21 lbs 10.5 oz which is between the 75th and 90th percentile. He's had two new teeth come in, so now has 6 total, 3 on the top and 3 on the bottom. He loves to eat all kinds of finger food, and is figuring out how to drink from a cup and use a fork. This morning he woke up and was crying, and then said "Mama, Dada"! He's been saying both of those a lot on & off, but I'm sure he said them with purpose today, and it was really cool. I'm trying to figure out if he has a word for Connor, and he does say Nana sometimes, but I'm not sure if that's what he means. It will be fun having him start saying words more now. He still takes 2 naps a day in the morning and afternoon, for about 1 1/2 hours each, and is still nursing about 4-5 times a day, but also takes formula and juice.





We spent last weekend up at our friends the Freelands' cabin near Fergus Falls. They have a gorgeous cabin and we had a great weekend. Connor went tubing for the first time (NOT a big hit) and also ride a 4-wheeler (big hit). Porter loved the water and we had fun swinging in the hammock.









When Connor was 10 months old I took a photo of him standing by the tub with his cute little buns showing, so I had to take one of Porter also. The first one is Connor and the second Porter. Sometimes people say they look alike, but I still think they don't. Still, it's fun to compare them at the same age.





So, we have a busy August ahead of us. We are renting a cabin in Hayward, Wisconsin next week with Jeff's brother Steve and his family. I am taking vacation the next week, which is the week before school starts for Connor, and also the week of the Minnesota State Fair. I'm sure we will go to the Fair at least once. It will be Porter's first time going. We got all of Connor's school supplies yesterday, but still need to get him his school uniforms. I can't believe he will be starting kindergarten in a couple of weeks!
