Porter

He is nearly 2 months so I thought I would share a few more pictures of my cute baby.

This is us on Valentine's Day. He is wearing a girly onesie that says, "I love mommy." How could I not?

Lincoln has been a really good big brother thus far.

From Last Week

What does Porter get to wear when he pees through 10 outfits in 1 day? Baby's First Christmas. It was the middle of January, so we weren't even a month off.

My sis and I took some 'model pix of Porter' (see below). Everything 'Baby Brother' does Lincoln wants to do too. So ... he took a turn in the spotlight. (I just realized he is wearing his Santa jammies too. Lincoln likes to say, "Hey Mom, guess what?!? CHRISTMAS!!!")

Our Van's model.

For the Aunts

Snow Day!

Porter is 2 weeks old now. I sure think he is super cute. (The above 2 pix were taken mere hours ago for Jen and Jennette's delight)!

Porter Leonard Rice

He is here! Our sweet baby boy weighed in at 7 lb 8 oz. He is 20.5 inches long. He made his debut at 6:54 pm on January 5th. We finally decided on a name. Porter (because we like the name) and Leonard (after Tyler's grandpa who is the sweetest man alive).

(the above picture is one that only a mother would love ... but I wanted to post one of him right after he was born)

Here are a few more fun facts:

Porter was born on our 4th anniversary.

He was born at the birthing center in Meridian, and I have very positive things to say about the experience.

Although Lincoln has been hanging out with grandparents since 'Baby Brother's' arrival, when he did see him he was a really good Big Brother. He just kept saying, "He's cute! He's cute!" and copying what Porter would do.

2 of my fav pictures

I'm quite certain I never posted these pictures. And I really love them. And I miss the warmth of summer. And I love Lincoln. And ... hopefully this sort of makes up for posting the picture of him looking super goofy holding his 'projects' (turkeys).

Mom Fun

Taking these 2 pictures was a good exercise for me. I have been feeling huge and taking these pictures (while dark and of low quality) made me realize I have some room to grow. Dang it!

I think I will like being a mom as long as my kids think doing crafts with me is fun. (even if they make goofy faces when we're done).

A Few Cute Pictures

How have I not blogged for 3 months? Weird. Also, I thought I would post a picture of my belly at 32 weeks ... apparently I am the photographer and never the model (I am mostly okay with this). I will try to get a picture soon. Before this second wiggly boy is born, I hope. But ... here are some pictures of my cute boys from the last couple months.

At the pumpkin patch. We got to steal our daddy-daddy for a night! (Tyler has been working really hard and I'm super impressed with all he is accomplishing. Plus, when he comes home he takes care of Lincoln while I zone out, or he takes care of both of us. He is tough!)

The pumpkin he painted, and his dragon costume.

Riding the pig at Oma and Opa's house.

We were on a 'date.' Fortunately, we have had lots of fun outings to keep us busy while 'daddy-daddy' does his 'work at school'.
