Sitting Up

Here's my little man sitting up in his crib. He's just gotten the hang of sitting up on his own. We still have a few tumbles here and there, but he just about has it this milestone down!

Since Porter has reached 6 months, we have seen so many changes in him. He's sitting up, his first tooth has come through, he reaches for everything, he gets into everything, but one thing has stayed the same... he's still the cutest little thing ever!

Mug Shots

Like father, like son. These two weren't too excited to get their pictures taken today!

Porter's Twin

Ever since Porter was born, we have called this monkey his twin. They both have red little tufts of hair at the top of their heads!

My Frazzle Hair Boys

Brian and Porter are already a dynamic duo. I can only imagine the craziness I am in for once Porter is old enough to throw on sparring gear!

Cutting Porter's Hair

Poor Porter! I cut his hair a few days ago and realized that I have no business using scissors! In order to correct my wrongs, Brian decided to use the clippers to even things out.

We've now decided that neither of us should touch Porter's hair! However, no matter how bad we mess up the kid's head, he's still the cutest little thing on this side of Ellet!

Franklin Park Conservatory

On Saturday, I went to the Franklin Park Conservatory in Columbus. It was amazing! Here are some of pictures that I took while I was there:

Teddy Bear

Here's Porty hanging out in his teddy bear suit with Grandpa Gauder. Brian bought him this get-up a few weeks ago. I thought it was the silliest thing I ever saw. However, once we put Porter in it, I fell in love!

This teddy bear suit is soft and snugly warm. We put Porter in it in the evening when we want to go on walks around the neighborhood.

Mr. Smiles

I took this picture of Porter today, and I just love it! His smiles are contagious! I can't help but chuckle when I look at this photo!

Monkey Hoodie

Porter is wearing mostly 9 month clothes now even though he's only 5 1/2 months! He is just getting so big!

I love that he can now wear his monkey hoodie! It has been in his closet since before he was born, and I have been looking forward to the day that I could see him in it!

Check out this adorable video of Porter's incredible "dinging" skills:

Political Compass Test

Since Brian and I are both off of work today, we had time to play around on the computer while Bubby was taking a nap. We both took a "Political Compass" test, and the results were a little surprising! Our political views were more similar than we had thought!

Here are Brian's results:

Here are Autumn's results:

Also, they broke down the political views of famous composers. It looks like Beethoven and Smetana are our kind of guys!

Try out the test! It's pretty interesting!

We are so happy to have an extra day together this weekend.

Labor Day couldn't have come at a better time!
