6 days until 6


Porter will be 6 years old in 6 days!  I don't understand, what happened to the time?  I'm baffled!  It feels like just 5 minutes ago he arrived.  I remember holding him in the hospital and thinking I never want to let him go, I just want to stay in this moment forever, holding and kissing this gorgeous baby.  Porter's first year was wonderful!  He was so easy; slept great and so fun to play with.  He wasn't a cuddler and certainly wouldn't fall asleep in your arms.  He was too stimulated when he was held to relax, he wanted to explore and check everything out.  I must mention he was HUGE!  At one year Porter weighed 27 lbs.!  He could suck down an 8 oz. bottle in less than 5 minutes.  His hair was so unruly.  Imagine a fat, fat baby with a rooster mohawk; it was irresistible!  As early as 4 months I could see that Porter was a daddy's boy.  He would gaze at Adam with such love and admiration (and still does).  I miss that baby so much.  I often think if only I could hold that baby again, that would be pure heaven for me!

I know, it seems like yesterday our little boys met in Gilbert when they were just about 6 months old. It is sad, but I do love watching them become real people too. Sorry about Asher's arm thing, that's strange. Love ya!
