Sick Day

I get to see my baby 2 hours each day. Usually I spend that time playing with him as much as possible. But for the past few days, I spent those two hours trying to lay on the couch or the floor while he played around me. As soon as my guilt passed, I became grateful for that quiet time to watch my baby play. I can't describe how adorable it is to watch him play with his toys while talking to himself in his own, high-pitched language . . . or see his eyes light up when his Daddy walks in the door. Maybe I should try to take more moments like that when I'm not sicker than a dog!

Porter's First Birthday

Porter turned one yesterday. In honor of the special occasion, we spent the entire day spoiling and loving our little one-year-old.

Spent the morning at the Children's Museum:

Birthday party with lots of family & friends:

So many presents, Porter didn't know what to do!

 

Porter ate over half his cake.
