First Feeding!

We went to the doctor yesterday and here are the stats:
Weight: 16lbs. 9 oz.
Height: 26 3/4 in.

The doctor also said that because of his size, Porter was ready to start baby food. So today we started having him try squash. He wasn't sure what he thought at first, but he did manage to get some of it down.  Here are the pictures:

                   I wonder what's next?

Just Hangin Out


Ok, I know I haven't posted for a while, but not much has been going on lately. Porter and I spent much of the weekend with my parents because Tom had flown down to Texas with my brother to pick up his new car and then drive it back. Most of my time these days is spent taking care of Porter. He is still growing really fast and he is also developing some really naughty habits:
1) He has now discovered the power of his own voice. No longer am I responding to a sweet little whimper, no sir, he screams at me at the top of his lungs. (both when he is happy and when he is sad)
2) He loves to play with his bottle. Often he is not interested in drinking it, but just playing around with it.
3) He has started doing this thing when i get him out of the car. He keeps his eyes just slightly open and then when I say his name, his eyes open wide and he laughs.
4) He has started to spit up. Up to a week ago, he had probably only spit up six times. I thought I had been blessed with a baby that didn't spit up because the smell of spit up makes me vomit, but apparently that is not the case.
5) He is addicted to TV and could stare at it for hours. He gets mad at me when I turn it off.
Oh, one more thing. I just got a new car!! Yes, we finally traded in the Big Blue Truck. It is a Mazda CX7 and as my sister in law Carrie put it "a fun, mom car". I realized I haven't taken a picture of it, but here is what it looks like:
