Porter is 3 Months!

This month has once again flown by! Porter caught his first (and second) cold which was no fun for mommy. He also learned how to roll over. He is a tummy time master, lifting his head and chest up. He's been great this past month, it seems we've really got into a rhythm. He stays up until about 10:30-11:00 at night and sleeps from then until around 4:30-5:00 sometimes a little later. He then wakes up to eat and goes back to sleep for another couple of hours. It's great, except when he is sick. Then his whole schedule is thrown off and we end up waking up 4-5 times a night, right back to the newborn phase. He's gotten so big this past week, he's out of his 0-3 month sleepers and in to 3-6 month ones already. I can't believe how quick this is going. I just want him to stay little but grow at the same time! No check up this month so our stats for him are probably a little off but it's close and that's what counts!

Porter Maxwell Whiteley

Age: 3 months

Weight: Approx 15 lbs

Height: No check up this month means no length! He's definitely longer though.

Wearing: 3-6 month old sleepers, 0-3 month old onesies and pants.

New developments: November 14th we got our first real laugh! It was adorable! He loves when Daddy talks like Smeagol (from Lord of the Rings), it makes him giggle soo much. Still a ton of drool and lots of smiles. 1 day after turning 3 months old he rolled over from his front to his back. I may have scared him with how excited I was. Still sleeping 5-8 hours a night straight and then going back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. He has just learned how to pull on the handle of a toad (on his little chair). The toad sings a song for him. He loves music!

Favorite things: Smiling, baths, the otteroo, eating, sitting in his chair listening to Jack Johnson with daddy, gripping anything he can get his hands on and mommy's singing (probably my favourite too).

Favorite clothes: His Christmas sleepers/onesie. I'm a little obsessed with Christmas so that may be why!

Looking super cool thanks to his cousin Sawyer.

Chubby cheeks.

Such a big boy!

Some Mamma love.

These two!

Porter and Tucker, can you tell who is older?

Checked out.

Just snuggling in bed.

Enjoying his bath

I just love his chubbiness!

Bath time with Daddy.

Testing out the Christmas onesie.

All Hallows Eve

Happy Halloween! A little late, but so it goes. We decided this year to actually participate in the Halloween festivities. Every year since we have been married we have done NOTHING for Halloween. Maybe it's just me, but Halloween is not my favourite holiday. I feel like you need to pick one holiday to absolutely love and stick with it/go all out. That holiday for me is Christmas. Sorry Halloween, you've got nothing on Christmas! 

Last year we lived in an older area, we got about 6 trick or treaters. The 2 years before that we lived in an apartment building and got 0 trick or treaters. This year we live in an area with 1,000,000+ kids, so we decorated the house, carved pumpkins and bought candy. Then we decided to go out, because it was Friday night, and Friday night is date night! So we left the candy on the porch and the kiddo with his loving grandparents and we headed out. But first we took some pictures. Here are a few from that night. I'm still waiting to get Porter into his Penguin costume.. It's a tad big, but a picture may be taken in the near future anyway!

Some funky looking pumpkins.

Dressed for date night!

He's soo strong with his little head now!

My guys.

The Otteroo

Soo last week we purchased a very awesome item called the Otterroo. Well we put Porter in this awesome floatie and placed him in our big tub. Here are the results of that! 

There was a lot more. But it was cut out due to baby nudity that the internet doesn't need to see!

My baby loves his otteroo! Best purchase ever!
