Mastitis:(

Today, I woke up with symptoms of EXTREME nausea, CRUSHING killer headache and ...yep, the REALLY PAINFUL SORE (mastitis)! Deven has been such a blessing today, I couldn't even lift Porter out of the bath and I was COMPLETELY out of it today...slept until about 4pm. I would NEVER wish this upon anyone..I felt miserable all day. After Deven brought my prescription for antibiotics home I've actually been able to get things done around the house. THANKS SWEETHEART!

WALKING!!

Porter started walking for the VERY FIRST TIME YESTERDAY at 1:30p. I had my cell phone or the blue ball to get his attention (can't remember which one) and he started walking towards the bed rather than me..but it was 5 steps!! Last night, he walked 7 for daddy..then later on 10 for Grandma Munns and Aunt Jaclyn. Today I got him to walk 37 steps!! 3/4 the length of our Kitchen!! Yay Porter!!! I'm soo so proud of my little guy!


On a side note: check out mcnaughtonart.com this website is truly INCREDIBLE! Deven showed this to me a couple of night ago and I'm not quite sure if this is an lds artist but I'm about 98% sure he is. Go check it out! I promise you'll love it!

First Snowfall

I left for class today around 7:30am...it was just starting to snow then. It continued nonstop throughout the whole day! At around 1pm..there was at LEAST 3 to 4 inches of snow on the ground! The first snowfall has always excited me...there is so much beauty in a snowfall; watching as it collects on the leaves of tree's or even better..barren branches? Yeah?! I wanted to whip out my camera and start snapping some pictures then blow 'em up and hang 'em on the wall ....but then I came to the VERY disappointing realization that my camera was dead. :(

Although I DO find snow to be SOO wonderful and beautiful...I was beginning to have mixed feelings about my excitement of it's grand arrival. Twice a week I walk to class very EARLY in the morning (when the temperature is the lowest)...I'm not quite looking forward to walking 15 minutes to class while trying as best I can to keep my body temperature as high as possible in such low temperatures. Next semester I once again signed up for the earliest class time and I can only imagine how many layers of clothes I'll be wearing to keep warm:). On a more positive note...SNOWBOARD SEASON!! I hope to go snowboarding with my hunny at least two or three times this season...I have a new board which I have yet to use, last year I couldn't go because I was pregnant with Porter and I am so grateful...honestly...no regrets. (Of course!) He's such a blessing in my life! We'll see how I cope.

FIRSTS!

Porter DANCED for the very FIRST time yesterday!! We were visiting Grandma Munns and she played some music from his little exersaucer and he started moving his legs and bending his knees...soo sweet!

He is now recognizing the word "TOUCHDOWN"! ALMOST every time we say it he throws his hands up in the air...Deven and I have been attempting to teach him this on and off since he was about 3 months old..but while I was doing homework in another room, Grandma Munns got it through to him as he was chucking her apples all over the floor from the box.
