Porter's First Trip--Montana!

Porter and I flew to Montana last weekend for our cousin Katy's wedding. He did fantastic on the flights--preparing for the many travel adventures ahead! This is his wedding outfit Lulu bought for him!

Wedding was outside in Paradise Valley--cleared just for the ceremony! beautiful!

Porter meets uncle willy and aunti tori for the first time!

Porter loved the music and was in awe of the dancing! He is going to be a little party animal~

Who's Baby Is It?

After a summer dinner party evening with Colleen and Reed, featuring a fair share of mojitos and wine for a couple of sets of new parents, nobody was really sure which baby belonged with which parent...

JJ was pretty sure the dark-haired kid was his, but he was wrong...

Porter's Stats

Just had the 1 month check-up (a little late, he'll be 6 weeks on Thursday!)

Weight: 9 pounds, 6 oz. 20th percentile
Length: 21.5 inches. 25th percentile
Head Circumference (for the truly inquisitive): 15th percentile

I don't about anybody else, but whenever you hear parent's talk about what percentile their children are in for weight and length-- 9 times out of 10, they are above average and usually above the 75th percentile. It never made any sense to me. At least we know Porter won't be contributing to the size percentile overstatement movement for some time!
