Well after 4 days in the hospital and a four hour surgery that put 18 screws and 2 Plates into her foot, my mom is finally home. She has to be completely off of it for 6 weeks and the feeling in her foot may never fully come back. The doctor also instructed her that she should never be alone in case she did fall. So Porter and I have taken it upon ourselves to be her company and help. She came home late Tuesday night. She is pretty much helpless and depressed. I have to help her do everything, even shower! But we will make it. Most importantly, we have to keep her occupied so she doesn't get too depressed. Porter is fascinated with her foot and will not stop touching it.
Speaking of Porter, man is he a naughty boy! A very cute and darling naughty boy. He hates to eat, get his diaper changed, and sleep through the night. He now throws temper tantrums, throwing his head backwards and waving his arms when I take him away from his naughty fascinations such as the bathroom garbage, the toilet, the fireplace, the stairs, and the dog and her food. This is the only time when Porter and the dog actually get along.

Okay, well also here:
When I change his diaper, I have developed a wrestling position where I pin his arms down with my feet. Well today when I was attempting this feat, he bit my toe! I just started to laugh and he started to cry. Where did he come from? Most people would never believe that he behaves this way. When we are around other people he just flashes that irresistible smile and talks in his sweet soft voice. Don't get me wrong, he is still a sweet little boy who cuddles with his mom and talks and plays with me for hours, but there are just a few things that we definitely clash over. I was talking to my mom about my frustrations today and she informed me that this is exactly how I was at this age. So he is even more like his mom than we thought. Just not in the good way. But I still love my sweet little boy and hopefully we will grow out of this stage soon. But on the cute side again. Not that I am counting these as his first words, but maybe they are. Porter definitely understands Bah-Bah as bottle. He crawls towards me saying Bah-Bah and when I give him that that is what he wants. And when Tommy leaves in the morning for work, he says DADADADADADA for like fifteen minutes after I tell him to say goodbye to DaDa. He also (when he wants to not when I want him to perform) says BABA when people leave. It is so dang cute!

He bit your toe! That is so funny. I think it's a boy thing. Boys are so naughty sometimes! Your poor mom. Rent some fun movies and books for her. That would be super depressing. She is so lucky to have you.
Jessica-
I feel your pain. Josh has decided that he hates to eat and sleep through the night, too. He likes to get up and scream. It isn't fun. Good luck!
P.S. I have bruises all over my arms from Josh biting me. I think this "phase" is just teething. I hope.
Poor Becky. But so funny that Porter bit your toe, funny to me, I'm sure not so funny to you. I think it's time for me to see him soon!
Sorry about your poor mom! Nice that she has someone like you around to take care of her.
Your poor Mother. I guess I shouldn't whine about a minor sprained ankle when it could have been that much worse. Send her my sympathy.
Isn't so heart warming when your baby starts using his voice to make talking sounds... rather than crying and shouting? I love hearing their tiny voices. So CUTE
So sorry to hear about your Mom, I hope things get better quickly. And I love that Porter has your personality! He is so dang cute.
I cannot believe your mom needed 18 screws! Sounds so sad :( I like Krista's ideas about the movies and books--and get her hooked on a new TV series you can rent for her on DVD (I am a sucker for those...) And that naughty Porter--I bet he will grow out of it--or some of it!
Oh man! That is so funny! And that picture of Porter and Miko (sp?) both asleep is just priceless!!
