Porter's Spring Break

Porter got a giant dose of his mommy's attention a couple weeks ago while I was on spring break. We soaked up every single moment we had together!

It all began with Porter's 2nd haircut. Stubbornly, I've been refusing to cut off his long, golden, baby locks. I only let them trim his hair for his 1st haircut. But he was starting to look just enough like a hobo for me to give in and agree to let his hair be cut. I'm pretty glad we did it- he looks so handsome now!

BEFORE:

 

AFTER:

Porter also had a playdate with his friend, Duncan (and my friend, Annalynne) at a local children's museum. Porter got to experience being the president . . .

. . . travel across the United States . . .

. . . play legos (not building- just throwing) . . .

. . . crawl back & forth on this platform while kids half his age (and half his size) were running circles around him! . . .

. . . play his first game of chess . . .

. . . and, oddly enough, Porter's favorite part of the entire museum was trying to crawl across this bridge. Every time he'd make a little progress, he'd slide right back down. But he never got tired of trying and we had to come back to this bridge over and over so he could try!

We also visited the planetarium twice: once with Brian's brother Jeff & his family. Then we went again a few days later when my mom, brother, and sister were in town.

Porter got to walk (crawl) on the moon:

And he got to walk on Mars (with assistance, of course):

  

All in all, it was a pretty successful spring break for Porter! We had loads of fun and even did much more than these picture show. Now we're just counting down the days till summer break when Porter gets to see Mommy this much every week!
