Awesome!

Porter went to see the doctor for his 8 month check up and his doc gave him a new nickname, "Big Muscles."

Current Stats:

Weight: 17 lb. 11 oz.
Typical Child: 17th percentile DS: 75th percentile

Height: 25 1/2 inches
Typical Child: 3rd percentile DS: 10th percentile
(We have a short Boy. I suspect a bad measurement.)

Porter's most recent tricks:
  • Pivoting in a complete circle in both directions
  • Clapping his hands when his Dad asks...because you know Dad is super cool and I'm boring.
  • Rolling continually to reach a desired object.
  • Creating more sounds... probably because we had a speech evaluation done and a few hours after we suddenly started to notice more consonants: m, d, g, p, h. They pop up in a sting of noises so they aren't isolated or repeated sounds yet.
  • The most exciting for us is Porter's success at getting into "4 point" and rocking. (Check out his video below)



Computer Update: Aaron will start purchasing parts for our new desktop this next week. It will still be awhile before I'm fully back in the blogging world... I miss you all! Love, Megs

Woohoo - he's going to be crawling all over in no time!

How exciting to see him up on his knees like that! Just wait: One day you're wishing he was crawling or walking, and then once he's good at it you'll be wishing he still just wiggled at your feet :D
