Happy 1/2 Birthday!!!

Porter Grant Lee is now 6 months old!! I cant believe how big he is getting. We had his 6 month check up and he did SOOO well. He is 19lbs 9oz (that was with a wet diaper on) and is just over 28 inches long. Which means he has gained almost 13 pounds and grown 10 inches since he was born. No wonder he is such a good sleeper...he is growing like a weed!! He went down in the weight scale, he is now in the 90th percentile for weight, he was in the 95th at his 4 month. And he went UP in the height scale, he is in the 95th for height instead of the 90th last appt. So he is a big kid and the dr said he looked great. Porter also had his shots! =( Last time he had his shots he screamed murder for like 10 straight minutes after making all the little children waiting for the dr scared! So this time I was bracing myself. I had him already dressed, just rolled up his shorts, scheduled his next appt before so that I wouldnt have to stand there trying to talk to the receptionist over his lungs. Which is impossible by the way! And gave him lots of tylenol in advance. Well the lady poked him 3 times, and he of course started screaming, then when she ws done I picked him up to cuddle him expecting the worse, and then all of a sudden he stopped crying. I was SHOCKED! So I gathered my things and walked out. He even smiled at the receptionist on the way out! He didnt make a peep after that. Just played in his carseat until we got to Sams Club. I was so proud of him. I told him that is he were bigger than we would be going for an Ice cream cone. I guess we will have to put that on hold until next year!! Anyways, he was such a trooper and I wanted to share with everyone how great he did at his 6 month check up!!

Of course no blog in complete without pictures. So yesterday as I was walking my friend Marlee out to the car I had given Porter a sucker (still in the wrapper) and he was biting away at it. Here he is loving his covered up sucker....

Well after a little while we thought that maybe Porter was getting some flavor from the tootsie pop because he was really going to town. So I took it away and gave it a sniff...then a lick...and sure enough...FLAVOR GALORE!! No wonder he was enjoying it so thoroughly!! So I decided he had had enough sucker and this is what he thought of mean ol' mommy for taking it away.... And of course this face turned into screaming, but I didnt take any pictures of that.

OH! I almost forgot. Porter's first tooth broke through yesterday! YEAH!!! Maybe he will be happier now that it has finally stopped toying with him and finally came through! I am so excited and he seems so relieved that its finally here. I tried to take pictures, but him being 6 months wouldnt sit still very well and kept licking my finger covering up his tooth. So here is one attempt at a picture bit its really bad. The little glowing white spot is the tooth in case you were wondering...


Alright, long enough. The END!!
