The Name Game On This Sunday

{He has such swagger}

We've been keeping a secret...
Baby Girl has had a name for a few weeks now. It's been such a frustrating process trying to find a name for her that we decided to keep it in the vault. LOL, that didn't last super long. My sister figured it out and then we decided to tell my family one night at dinner. Tonight while we were at Aaron's Great Grandma Hazel's 95th birthday party he had SO much fun protecting our secret. He decided he wasn't going to just flat out tell the name, but he was okay playing 20 questions. His Sister Karli was awesome and figured it out.

Aaron and I are faithful "Big Bang Theory" watchers and one night after an episode Aaron asked what I thought about the name Pria, a new character. I thought people might think we were naming our girl after a car. Being my husband, he understands how to convince me something is lovely. He knows meaning is the most important thing to me and combine that with a better spelling and I was sold. Priya - a Hindu name that means, "Beloved, Darling, loved one". That's beautiful and perfect for our girl! If you're not sold on it yet write it out in cursive with the middle name Lynn. Another day I'll post about all of our names and what they mean. I love researching names. I love how the spelling can change the meaning and open a whole different origin. Another time.

We had a very enjoyable Sunday morning. Porter has picked up on tickling the last week, so our morning cuddle time has turned into morning tickle time. We had so much fun trying to wear this boy out before church and here are some pictures we took while playing together.{Daddy's coat}

{Porter has figured out the camera and has turned into a major poser making getting a non-cheese photo out of him difficult.}

LOVE THE NAME! I'm one for unusual names! :) Porter is such a sweet boy, makes me smile whenever I see pictures of him. I wish I could have been at Hazel's party, I have this horrible feeling that I might not get to say good bye to her and it would break my heart. I'll see her in July though!

I just realized the punctuation on that looks weird. Add some exclamation points in your head. :-D
