Well, we've made it to six months. As you can see by the photo, we've started Porter on solid food. So far he has had rice cereal, yams, wooden number 6s and peaches. I may have jumped the gun on the peaches (I have learned that the citric acid might be a little tough on the tummy at this age). He seems to like everything so far, but I think yams just edges out wood.

Porter is increasingly mobile. He doesn't quite crawl, but he is getting super close. He'll get up on his hands and knees-then fall over. He does manage to get all around the room via the face plow and rolling over. He even managed to roll off the couch once (just once). He's going to be a serious handful once he figures out the crawling thing. It's a good thing for him he's so darn cute.

Loving the summer grass.

I am cheap. I openly acknowledge this fact. This doesn't mean I am a smart consumer, just that I am cheap. I love getting a deal. We recently picked up this exersaucer at a garage sale. Porter loves it. You may notice that it has a few modifications. Some of the toys were missing (they are all detachable) when we bought it and while you can purchase replacement toys from the manufacturer, it's ridiculously expensive and would make this a good deal no longer. Besides, Porter loves the spatula, Dr. Pepper bottle and the flavored water bottle at least as much as the rest of the toys. In fact, I even removed one of the original toys that made some annoying noises(what he doesn't know won't hurt him).
