I can't say enough how obsessed I am with this little boy.  He was an unexpected blessing that I can't imagine not having now.  Life is good!

I can't believe my baby turned 5 months old last week!  Where is the time going?  I'm pretty obsessed with this little boy :)

Greenlee: 2 years
October 2012

So we have been without our SUV for 4 days now which means the kiddos have been stuck at home unless my parents can come get them and take them somewhere.  We've done a LOT of hanging out lately! Lots of Mickey...ha!  Here's to hoping our car gets fixed soon...

Here are some pictures of Greenlee from her birthday party.  We had such a fun time and my mom did such an awesome job making it special.  It was just family and a few friends but it was wonderful.  Greenlee got her Minnie Mouse theme (did I mention I HATE characters??!! ha) and some awesome gifts:  art supplies, Minnie mouse stuff, a giant tunnel, and a bike to name a few.  I still can't believe how fast the second year of her life flew by.  I found out I was pregnant with Porter 2 weeks after her first birthday.  The pregnancy flew by and so did the first 9 months after her birthday.  Before I knew it Porter was born (she was 20 months) and we were in the newborn craziness for a few months, then BAM she was 2!! We are loving this new age she is in-- she is so fun!  It's a joy to watch her learn and hear her talk more and more each day.  She is so precious and a blessing to our lives.  We love you Greensie girl!

Porter turned 4 months on October 19th!  He weighs 13 pounds, 13 ounces (25th percentile) and is 26 inches long (75th).  He is in 3-6 month clothes and about to move to a size 3 diaper.  My kids are heavy wetters so I tend to move them up right when they hit the weight range for the next size.  Just when we finally got him sleeping in his crib he got another cold-- he just got off an antibiotic 2 weeks ago from an ear infection!  We've pretty much all been sick for the past month.  Sleeping through the night has been an elusive game to say the least.  He was sleeping 8-9 hour stretches (11-12 hours total) at night for an entire month and then he hit a growth spurt and got sick so he started to regress.  After he got on the antibiotic we moved him to his crib and he started sleeping fine again (we even got some 11 hour stretches out of him!), then he got sick again!!  Lately he has been doing pretty bad at night...up crying several times.  I've been letting him sleep in the Rock and Play again since it has an incline and he is doing much better-- last night he went 10.5 hours without a feeding.  I think it is just hard for him to get good rest when he is laying flat on his back and is all congested.  Anyways, praying for a speedy recovery for him so we can get back to normal and we can all get some rest again!  Breast feeding is still going strong-- yay!  We've gotten into a good groove and I don't foresee the relationship ending anytime soon, at least I hope not.  He is almost rolling over and really enjoying his activity mat.  He has recently started playing in the activity jumper too and he LOVES it!  His fists are constantly in his mouth and he is starting to grab for toys and put those in his mouth as well!  He has a lovely little rash all over his face from all the slobber he gets on his face from chewing everything :)  I think that is it for now...I will post soon about my big girl's 2nd birthday-- it was a blast!
