All About Cam in November

My new favorite video is of Cameron falling asleep in my arms. He had been playing with this animal sounds app I have on my phone and all of a sudden I noticed that his head kept bobbing. It was two hours before his normal nap, but there was no doubt that he was falling asleep. I switched my phone to the video camera real quick so I could catch some of the action haha.

The zoo had a free day and Jayce even took some time off from studying to come with!



We have learned that Cameron takes after his mommy, who takes after her mom.
He's a popcorn eater. He doesn't normally just sit down to watch movies, but when you give a Cam some popcorn...he'll want to sit and watch.



I finally did a Christmas craft that pinned on Pinterest last year. Yay! Cam loved it until it got pulled down! Now I just need to get it back up.





I picked Cam up out of his crib the other morning to find this:
 Not just a little pee...a whole stomach/lower region of pee. Sick man!

Mom, Dad, and Cam celebrating the end of Jayce's last final before Thanksgiving! We went to the mall for some Panda Express and then walked around the usuals...pet store (I LOVE the pet store in this mall because it always has tons of puppies to look at!), apple store, Disney store...

Story for this pic, which my mom will love:
Jayce was hanging out with Cameron while I was at a Nutcracker rehearsal and I had just gotten all of the Christmas decorations out and up. We have some fun Christmas ducks for Cam to play with. Jayce left Cam in the living room and was fiddling around in the kitchen and when he turned around he saw Cameron neatly laying out all of the ducks in a row. :-) Then he just went and sat right down next to them so that Jayce could marvel at his work! We love this kid.

Spencer's Birth Story

Image
After those last days of trying my hardest to push away the heightening anticipation of Spencer's arrival, he finally arrived two weeks ago today! Now those days seem so far away. It's amazing how quickly the tables turn. Your life seems to be building up to one particular moment for so long and then all of a sudden you're on the other side of that moment and it's like life has never been any different. Here is the last "belly picture" I took before his arrival and I only thought about it because my parents had requested one. The difference between the first and the fourth kid I guess. This was just a couple of days prior to his birthday. Well, for all of you birth story enthusiasts and for my posterity, here is the story if you so wish to read it. Fair warning: it's probably going to be long. I woke up on Monday morning with that "my due date was yesterday and now I'm just depressed that he's not here yet" feeling. I was a...

Welcome to the World Aiden Titus

Image
Something big arrived in the Porter Family early in the morning on September 29! He's big, he's blonde, and he has kisses all over his chunky cheeks...welcome to the world Aiden Titus Porter!  He was my second largest baby weighing in at 8 lb 10 oz, his abundance of blonde hair is reminiscent of Cameron, he's the 17th grandchild on the Porter side and the 14th on the Terry side and he came into the world fast and furious like his next-older brother, Spencer. He also completes the Porter basketball team. Summer Olympics 2032, here we come! Now where's a coach?    The Story The week of my due date my goal was just to stay relaxed and not get fixated on when Aiden might/might not arrive. The "Anything happening in there?!" questions are always well meant (and I totally ask them of other preggos too, it's just too exciting when someone is about to deliver!) but they make me feel like I should have control over something I do...

Mom's Gone

Image
My Mom died in the early hours of June 29 of complications from pneumonia. She was one month shy of her 67 th birthday. I’ll be processing everything from the morning of her death to the day she was buried for a long time. I’m so grateful that I was able to talk to my mom just two days before she passed. I had sat down at my computer after rocking Spencer to sleep and it was quiet time in the Porter house. My mind went blank as soon as I sat down and I relaxed, which is abnormal because I usually feel torn between doing ten things at once when I sit down to “get stuff done” during quiet time. So I thought, “Well, what should I do? It’s been a while since I talked to Mom...” When I asked her how she was she answered, “Well, actually not so good,” and she explained that she had just come home from the doctor’s office where she found out that she had pneumonia.   She filled me in on some details from her appointment and how she had been feeling recently. My mom has had and ...
