We Celebrated 4/20 at Zion National Park Too

April 20th was my birthday, so I decided the three of us should do something fun. Last week, entrance to all national parks was free, so we took advantage of that and headed to Zion National Park. We thought it was time for Mitchell to see more of this beautiful world...

...but he wasn't too impressed.

He did think it was indeed beautiful, however, and his parents agreed. We had a lovely day.

He's Here!

Four weeks ago on March 28th, precious little Mitchell Preston Porter made his appearance.

He was born via emergency c-section around 9 PM after a full day of labor. We were shocked to discover he weighed 9 pounds 12 ounces and was 21.5 inches in length. Whew!

He's saying "Hi". (The red marks are from his heavy pacifier sucking.)

I'm trying to say hello as well; however, the drugs in my system aren't allowing me to fully open my eyes and give a non-crazy smile.

The drugs wore off the next day...sort of. Can you tell? Anyway, look how cuddly our boy is!

More precious cuddles...

About two weeks after he was born, my sister Mary Lynne did a little photo shoot with him. This is my favorite hat, but I'm not sure it's Mitchell's favorite.

Oh, the messes Mary Lynne and I went through for her to get this shot! Good times.

Here's one of Mitchell's classic expressions.

Sweet.

"Hmmm, what to do next..."

"Maybe I'll just sit in my swing and look cute."
