2 Months! (and one day)

Porter was 11 lbs. and 3 ounces and 23 inches long at his 2 month check up and happy and healthy... We are in New Mexico now for the next 2 weeks just relaxing with my parents. He has not been feeling well here, so we are praying for a speedy recovery...and an increased appetite. Here are a few pics from our morning walk. More to come of the beautiful scenery. It is SO refreshing to be out of the heat. It has been about 65 here... and the air smells of crisp pine. It's perfect, and quiet, and makes me want to leave the oppressive heat and stay out of it. There is just something about the mountains...

updates

There have been a lot of firsts in the last 2 weeks... let me enlighten you.

1. first time to pump in the car. (got a car adapter and went to the top of a parking garage and became a regular milk machine) which leads me to...

2. first time to feed porter in the back seat of my car.

3. first smiles ( we think he's starting to smile... and maybe its just a reflex in his face, but it makes me so happy... trying hard to catch it on film. pics to come.)

4. first time to sleep 6 hours straight!!!! holla. he slept last night from 9 until 3... i am trying to push that last feeding back so he's sleeping 6 hours while I am sleeping. That day will be amazing. although I still have to get up and pump...

5. first time to roll over from his belly to his back. this has now happened several times...

6. first time to poop on zach's leg. that was awesome.

7. my first time to go to dinner without him. i felt naked.

hoping to post pics tomorrow... time is flying by... almost 6 weeks!
