More Baby Pix

Big eyes open to check out this new world!

Softly sleeping on mommies shoulder

Here he is dressed to go home, in Daddies arms.  This'll probably be the only time he gets to wear this outfit.  He's already outside it's weight range and is just shy of it's length size limit.  But it's cute.

All buckled and tucked into his car-seat ready to go home!

Brothers were sooo excited for him to come home...  Well they were excited to play with the balloons.  So far they've mostly ignored him, just happy to have mommy home.

9 lbs 5 oz!

More Later, but had to get at least one good picture of him up.

Two years of Pictures.

This post was promised back on Simon's Birthday.  Here it is.  Two years of Simon

The Promised Pictures

April 3 2008, He waited for daddy to get home to Utah, then said "Look Out World, Here I Come!!!"

Micheline Baby

Look at that baby chub

Patriotic Boys

Grandma tastes nice and fourth of July-ie

 Being read by big brother

 Ha!  Stole one of big brother's fishies.

 This grin will stop anything.  This was the first picture where I, on the other side of the world, started to see a personality in him.  He was more than just a baby.

 And this is when I got to meet and get to know him.  I'd been there for his birth, but had to leave the day we brought him home from the Hospital.

Playing with Christmas toys.

 Daddy is Home from War

 1 Year Old.

 Oooooooh  Look at all the water!

 Chillin at Bear Lake

Playing in Bear Lake

Simon really enjoyed the miniature golf course at Cherry Hill

Still just learning to walk while camping at Cherry Hill over Labor Day.

A cute clown for Halloween.  The hat always came off within moments.

Cute happy Boy!

Eating Lunch

Painting Christmas Tree decorations

Playing with one of his presents.

And finally, this kid has a big mouth.  I believe that is one of the balls from one of his pneumatic ball popper toys.  

Birthday BOY!!!

Someone is now



Years Old!!!

Pictures will be added later today.

Haircuts for Boyz

We didn't think to get before pictures, and the photo quality isn't that great because the only camera we had was a cell phone but...

Today the boys got haircuts.

It's blurry but note the massive rooster tail Simon is sporting.

The sides are gone now to start on the long stuff on top.

Any trip to this barbershop ends with a Balloon!  Notice the gel spiked hair.

And a chance to play on the slide!
He really looks different after a haircut.  His big Porter family cheeks dominate when he doesn't have hair to better frame his face.

And this is Ben's turn

Looks like a style out of the 80's, long on top shaved on the sides.  But no tail, so it's NOT a mullet!

Ben and his naturally spiky hair!

He looks so much different, but notice the naturally spiky hair, no gel needed.

And Simon again at bedtime:  Happy boy gets a drink of Milk!

And we finish with a prayer before sleep.
He just started doing this the other night.  He's obviously been listening to Ben's prayers and a couple nights ago started grunting after I finished praying with Ben.  So I went to his crib and gave him a simple prayer and he repeated it back like big brother was doing.  And of course they both have "Amen" down pat.
