a couple of moments;
mom and dad got to talk to porter using skype for the first time, and it was pretty entertaining for all involved. you know mom and her classic noises and faces...well it was pretty much all in vain, because porter was far more entranced by the labtop keyboard than my grandma's song and dance. what can i say, he's a big reader. there was one highlight of the moment though, and that was when grandma started sticking out her tongue, and before you know it, porter and grandma were on a roll sticking out their tongues to each other and laughing. it was pretty great, until porter started drooling on the keyboard and got banned from his front row seat.
i love how much porter loves his tongue right now. i've never been more impressed with how successfully a child can smile and simultaniously try to touch his chin with his tongue. of course i do it back, but trying it one time in front of the mirror let me know that my tongue smile is for porter's eyes only.
okay- here's one last anecdote, but it's more a mark moment than a baby moment. so two nights ago, i went to sleep and mark stayed up to put the baby to bed. all of a sudden i get woken up with mark saying very loudly in his sleep, "It's OK Porter"... which is usually what he says when porter's fussing, but porter was sleeping deeply, and mark was just sleepshouting. since i was just out of a deep sleep myself i look at mark and assume that the outline of his body in the dark showed porter in his arms, and that he was squeezing his too tight, so i start shaking him to let go of porter. like i said, porter was sleeping fine, but in the basinet, and not in mark's arms; i was just seeing things. mark wakes up, says he doesn't have porter, goes back to sleep, and doesn't remember any of it in the morning. it was a funny bit of confusion all around.

well i have to say that everything is extremely repetitive with being home with Porter all day, and yet- everything also seems to be new and exciting. For example, Porter has just started to transition from smiling coos to a hiccup that is noticably a laugh. it's such a renewing feeling in my day to sit with Porter and laugh with him. i love that time. also, today Porter held a toy for the first time. yes- he completely ignored the plastic ring he was holding, and he didn't grab it on purpose, but who cares?? my boy is a toy holding genius- i can feel it. the other miracle of the day was the fact that i actually made dinner by the time Mark came home. I'm not going to tell you how long it's been..

We couldn't be happier to have a beautiful son. He is such a blessing to us and we love every moment we spend with him. He sleeps alot and is growing big and strong. Ever since the womb we knew he was going to be a feisty kid. when you pushed on the tummy, he would push back and even now he doesn't like to be pushed around. And so it begins. . . .
