Video of my 2 loves!

Above is a video of Porter laughing and Indiana singing her ABC's. Before I got the camera out, Porter was laughing harder than he ever has! I wish I could have got him on camera earlier. Oh well. Indiana LOVES singing her ABC's and I am so proud of her and how well she sings them!

More sewing projects

Last night I went to JoAnn's and bought this really cute fabric for only $3.50 and made a nursing wrap! I put boning in it so I can see Porter while he is nursing. I made it a little bigger than normal wraps because I don't feel like they cover me all the way. I am always using blankets along with my wrap to cover myself.

Below is a picture of a little purse I made for Indiana. She has these little animal toys that she loves to take EVERYWHERE with her and I am tired of them being in my diaper bag. I made the purse in about 30 min and wish I had spent a little more time on it. But it turned out okay and Indy loves it. There is even a pocket in the front for her sippy cup! I bought this fabric on sale at Walmart for $1.50 and still have a ton of it left. I am thinking I will make Indy a skirt with it. Still not sure though.

Plain Cuteness

Look at Porter sitting! Without his boppy he only last at most 15 seconds or so, but with it he will last however long he wants! I think all that weight around his belly is helping him to learn to sit! Haha!

Indiana fell asleep in her princess chair the other day. She LOVES her bear and has to have it with her most of the time. She is such a sweet girl.

2 Firsts!

So, both Indy and Porter had some firsts this week. Indiana has started potty training this week! It is her first time actually LOVING sitting on the toilet and asking to go potty! She has gone pee on the toilet twice before but both times were quite a while ago and it was our idea for her to sit on the toilet, not hers. She has been askng to go quite a few times during the day and sometimes she does "go" and sometimes she doesn't. I am so excited that she started this herself! Porter had rice cereal for the first time this week! He wasn't too sure about it at first but now he loves it and doesn't even get that messy eating it! Yay for firsts!

4 1/2 Months!

Porter is now 4 1/2 months old! Time sure does fly! He had his appointment this morning and he weights 17 lbs 5 oz and is in the 80th percentile. For height and his head circumference he is in the 75th. I just still cannot believe how much he weighs! And he has actually LOST weight! A couple weeks ago he was a little over 18 lbs, but he is being more active now in his entertainer/jumper so he is slowly slimming down. I have to admit though, I kind of don't want him to! I LOVE his softness and rolls! He can sit on his own unassisted for about 10 seconds, then falls over. He can roll back to front and front to back. He sleeps so good at night. I put him to bed at about 8pm and he wakes up at 8am with only one feeding in the night. He does sometimes sleep through the night without a feeding, but that has only happened about 5 times in the last few weeks. His day naps are still not that great. He does sometimes take a long afternoon nap, but the rest are only about 1/2 an hour long. Hopefully that will change soon!

Yay for learning to sew!

Okay, so this isn't the first time I have sewed, but it has been a LONG time since I have! My mom gave me one of her old sewing machines before Porter was born. This is called a "Bandana Dress" made from none other than bandanas! It was super easy. Indy wore it for church today but at home she loves to wear nothing but a diaper, so I wasn't able to get a picture of her in it because we were running late today and then once we got home she just wanted to be naked again. Oh well. I used extra ribbon I had to make her a matching bow and to make the outfit modest I had her wear a white t-shirt underneath. I thought she looked super cute in it!

Deoderant

Indiana likes to put on her daddy's deoderant. I finally had my camera out to catch her in the act! Haha! (Yes, her hair is a rat's nest. This was early in the morning and I just clipped her bangs back real quick so she could see.)

Bathtime!

These pictures were taken last Sunday. This is how he takes his baths now and he LOVES it! He kicks and squeals and laughs so hard!
