Freshest 3 Year Old I Know

Happy birthday to my Cambajamba! He is officially a few days older than 3 and I have to say I think he had a pretty fun birthday. It's so fun to watch him get more and more into every year.

Here's our champion:


Cameron is just getting more and more funny with all of the things that come out of his mouth. He'll often finish his sentences with something like, "...that okay guys?!" while nodding his head. Like at 8:00 in the morning you might hear, "Okay, Mommy. First we can drink apple juice, then I'm gonna go pee pee on the potty, then we're gonna get my monkey, then we're gonna watch The Lion King, okay?! Is that okay Mommy??!" Nodding the whole time like it's a set, done, brilliant plan.

He still absolutely loves being outside. Now that the weather is warm he wants to go outside all the time to just run around and be a toddler. This kid could seriously run a good 2 miles on the trail I think!

He still loves playing anything with a ball too. Now that he's had his birthday his sports equipment collection has totaled up to basketball, baseball, soccer, football, and golf. I'm excited to see how he handles being on a team in the future. Can't wait to see those cute little legs running around on a field!

He's not super into arts and crafts, but he'll humor me sometimes. He loves pizza, cookies, rice milk, blueberries, applesauce, and macaroni & cheese. His favorite movies at the moment are The Incredibles and The Lion King.

He's not as free as he used to be about showing off his dance moves, but if you play the right song and get into it with him, he'll show you he's still got the moves!

We just love having this babe in our family.

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...

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...

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 ...
