Porter: 2 1/2!!!

Oh, my Porter Monroe! I cannot believe you are 2 and 1/2!!! You are growing into an incredibly sweet and intelligent little boy...your daddy and I are always amazed by your memory. You can easily remember the smallest of details from events that happened weeks ago, but seem to "misplace" items on a regular basis -- I think you just like having someone help you LOOK for something! People often stop me in public to ask how old you are when they hear you speak. 5-6 word sentences are your norm, and you literally talk from sun up to sun down. And to think there was actually a brief conversation with the pediatrician about speech therapy at one point! You have so many things you enjoy doing: reading books, playing with cars/trains, watching movies -- Toy Story still remains a favorite!, drawing/coloring pictures, and playing outside just to name a few. You love your weekly sessions on the Tumblebus; Daddy and I are so glad we signed you up for that! You love going to school, and talk about all your friends: Liam, Addison, Tanner, Xan, and Luke in particular. You get excited talking about your teachers too; Miss Rae, Miss Becca, and Miss Danielle have a true fan in you. You can recite your ABCs, count to 10, name colors, and make pretty much any animal noise there is, from snakes to donkeys!!
You've proven to be quite the loving older brother, and I can only hope your affection for Bowman will continue. Daily, you give your little brother kisses and hugs. You even enjoy playing with him; of course, right now Bowman doesn't object when you take his toys...let's see how things are going in another year. You love spending time with your family, and can recite where everyone lives....Aunt Leslie is in "York," Uncle Al is in "Delavare," Mimi is in "Booford," and we live in "Blythevood."

You love to go on trips, whether it's to the Children's Museum or to Shellmore to see Mommy's college girlfriends. Daddy has turned you into a true Gamecock fan; you are already asking when you can go to another football game! You love to kick the soccer ball, and I think your Daddy is hoping you'll follow in his footsteps and end up on the soccer field. Only time will tell...

Porter, so much has changed in such a short time. You are growing into such a big boy...or a GUY as you like to tell me. Now, we just need to work on that potty training stuff!!
