I like them Big...I like them Chunky!

And now a post about this little chunk! I can't believe how big he is! According to our scale he weighs around 16 lbs! I wonder if it is right. He really is a huge chunk! But we love him! He still has colic pretty bad. He always wants to be held and cries a lot. He does have some good days though where he is really calm, but those are usually followed by really bad days. I feel so bad for him! When Devin gets home from work he automatically expects it to have been a hard day with him, so he usually takes him for me and tries to comfort him to give me a break. But we are having more good days than we used to with Porter. I think he is slowly growing out of his colic. They say babies usually are over it by the 4th month and he turned 3 months old last week. We'll see. He hates tummy time, but when he is on his tummy he holds his head up so good. He just loves to stand, so he likes to be in his entertainer, but doesn't last very long. He ends up crying and wanting to be held, of course. He also likes to sit in his bumbo seat in front of the mirror in our bedroom and smiles at himself. He really has a sweet spirit and I love him so much!




Nutella

This little girl LOVES Nutella! She eats it right out of the jar!




She has been so cute lately with playing pretend a lot more than usual. She has a polar bear that she picked out when we went to Sea World last year and she is obsessed with it. Well, that bear has now become her "baby." She puts him down for naps, in Porter's swing and entertainer, and she tries to put diapers on him too! She also throws him down the stairs and bangs his head against the wall so she can play the "mommy" role and ask, "Okay? I sorry. No cry." And then she kisses and hugs him. It is too funny! Sometimes she gets herself in situations where she gets stuck and needs help, so she will then put her bear in that same situation later and ask, "Stuck? Help?" Haha! She makes me laugh! While we were in Mexico visiting at the beginning of this month she started saying "Want you" but sounds more like "Chew." She says that when she wants to be held. She knows all of her shapes and primary colors. She has 4 Barney videos and can act out 3 of the 4 videos. The 4th one is still fairly new to her, but she is learning it! She knows the dances, songs, and even some of the lines they say. She has a really good memory. When people come over, even if it is her first time meeting them, she knows whose shoes are whose when they take them off. She is never wrong. She is really observant too. My sister-in-law Katie has some green and white basketball shorts that she wears and Devin has some too, but he never wears them. Well, I just put them on yesterday to be comfortable and she pointed to my shorts and said, "Katie's." She thought I was wearing Katie's shorts! Okay, sorry I am rambling on so much. I am just so proud of her!
