Boehme Business...: August 2013

9 MONTHS?!! REALLY?

You guys...seriously, where does the time go? The number of months it took to grow a baby in my belly has already passed in the number of months he's been growing outside as a tiny little person.

Porter got his 4 month shots today :(. That sad cry he has for pain is heartbreaking! But he did awesome (better than mom).

He weighed in at 17 lbs 1oz. (4th percentile)
He's just shy of 27" (5th percentile)
And then there's the head.... 46.5" (is that what it's measured in? she forgot the measurement) but thats 86th percentile!!
At least his weight is proportionate with his height right?

Even though Porter is so little he is super healthy and happy all the time! He eats 3 solid meals a day and some snacks. I nurse him in the morning and before naps and bedtime and he eats til he's full so i'm not starving him I promise!!

He's crawling everywhere and pulling himself up to everything. He opens drawers and cupboard doors and pulls everything out.
He loves to stand at the toilet and bang the lid. I'm trying to teach him to dance by shaking his hips, but he just likes to bounce.
I've been doing sign language as well. He hasn't really caught on quite yet. We're starting with just some basics... More, All Done, Milk, and Water. He loves his sippy cup and any cup so we thought Water would be a good one to introduce.
Porter still has no teeth (which really is a blessing for my milk makers).
His hair is getting long and is a dirty blonde color. His eyes are almost a grey color. So beautiful!!
Porter still sleeps through the night :) and has 2 naps.
I don't wanna brag, but really I have the perfect baby!!

My little boy is just getting so big and I love spending my days with him. We're putting him in swim lessons starting september and getting a pass to the YMCA to help us keep our cold winter edmonton days busy while dad is in school. He loves the water so i'm glad we have a YMCA close to our house :)
We're enjoying our last final summer days with Doug until school starts. We're gonna spend some time in Waterton and with family and try to get lots of fun things done in a week as we won't be able to once school starts. We're so excited for Doug and his choice to stay in school and can't wait til he's done :) (we've got a long ways to go). But i'm so grateful for him and for all he does for our family :)

And now for pictures :) Really, they're the best update!!
