Quarter LeBaron

Last week Porter met my mom's friend's daughter Haven. She must have misunderstood me when I told her his name because when we left, she said, "Bye Quarter." Thus, his new nickname is Quarter.
Here are a few of the pictures we had taken of Porter. Now tell me I don't have the cutest little boy ever. At the portrait studio, I think the photographer failed to realize that Porter is only 3 months old. She kept trying to make him sit up on his own, but he can't! Although he just about tried to crawl away. People who think he is 6 months plus must think he is developmentally challenged if he can't even sit up. I also have yet to realize why people must continue to inform me that my child is big. Ok, yes and so what is your point? Don't you think that I have realized that myself? Today I went to Bajios with my mom. As I was finishing, one of the workers walked up to the table and said, "Wow, I can't believe you finished the entire thing. You must have been really hungry!" Although this was the case, can someone please tell me the point of expressing this fact to me? It certainly isn't a compliment, and if it isn't meant as a cut, please inform me of the purpose.

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday. Church was great, especially because I taught a lesson which meant Tom had Porter for the last hour. We then headed to my parents house to join in the Easter festivities. While all the other kids participated in the annual Easter Egg Hunt, Porter opted to sleep and catch some golf on T.V. with Grandpa (what an appropriate outfit complete with hat,although notice the socks which are way too small for those giant feet).Yes, I confess, my child is already addicted to T.V. We finished up the day with Egg Fights and a visit to Nanny's. For those of you who aren't familiar with my family traditions, each person dyes about a dozen eggs to "fight" with.You fight each other by knocking eggs together to see which one cracks. As I think about it, I have absolutely no idea where this odd tradition originated.

The Latest

This past week has been crazy in the life of the LeBarons. On Tuesday night, we went out to the Miller Motors Race Track where all the boys raced each other in the karts. This was Trent's final hoorah before he left Wednesday. On Thursday, Porter and I loaded up, which by the way creates so much more luggage than I have been use to, and headed down to St.George for the "Girl's Trip". Porter was an absolute angel on the drive down and slept most of the trip.  But what's new?  Although I had a difficult time mastering the pocket on my bag, I was successful in sewing an apron.  Now that I know the basics of sewing, which is more than Mrs. Bridge and TLC class ever taught me, maybe I can actually be successful at it. Or maybe I just have an awesome machine that can do most of the work for me.  Porter had a fabulous time with 7 more mommies to dote over him and a sweet little cousin, baby Bea, to play with.  All of this left him exhausted.  And not surprisingly, everyone who saw my child was sure to tell me that he was a Big Boy.  Which is definitely true since he wears the same size clothes as his cousin who is a year and a half. But why everyone feels the need to inform me of this obvious fact is beyond me.

          

My Children

3 Months

Porter is now three months old, although you wouldn't think that by looking at him. He wears 9-12 month old clothes which are getting too short, so we may have to move to toddler in some brands. He loves to stand and is trying to learn how to sit up. I can't believe how fast he is growing. Pretty soon we will have to move him to cereal. He is also developing great sleeping habits. He takes a million naps a day, and still manages to sleep well during the night. Last night was 7 hours!
Other than that, not much else is happening. Tommy is keeping busy with work and school, which leaves me lonely on Friday nights. Trent leaves for his mission on Wednesday, yes the day has finally come!! And by far the most exciting thing for me right now is the upcoming girls (plus one boy) trip down to St. George where I get to try my hand at sewing and spend some time with my sister in laws.
