Junk in the Trunk

Yesterday we decided it would be fun to take a family trip to the Leesburg Outlets. After a quick bowl of bananas and diaper change we headed out. We arrived at our destination and with one sniff of my tush it was determined I needed another diaper change- STAT. Daddy opened the lift-gate to prepare the changing station and Mommy opened my diaper. Oh boy. There was poo everywhere. Let's just say our first stop was the Carter's Outlet. How embarrassing- me walking around with no pants and Mommy with poop on her jacket. We were a force to be reckoned with.


Ten minutes and ten bucks later I left a new man. No one ever said that sports apparel and camo socks were fashionable but I'm here to make a statement.

Ben Welcomes Joseph Read!

Ben would like to welcome YET ANOTHER BOY to the world!!! Joseph Read was born March 20th weighing 7 lbs and 8 ounces (just like me!) Mom and Dad, Claire and Matt Portolese, are doing great but we're a little worried that Zoe (their pet pug) could be a bit jealous!

Happy Friday!

Love the Football

While I fear the turtle, there is no denying that I love the football.

Fear the Turtle

Ben brings a whole new meaning to the slogan 'Fear the Turtle'.

Happy Easter!

I hope the Easter Bunny was good to you!!

Happy Friday... I mean Happy Birthday to ME!

Today I turn 6 months old. Aren't I a champ?!

Here are my stats from the 6 month check up today...

Weight: 17 lbs 13 oz- 55th%
Height: 29 inches- 97th%
Head: 17 and 1/2 inches - 70%

I'm a beast!! I think I'm ready to play middle linebacker.


Mom got some action shots at today's apt. Here I am waiting for Dr. Lisa to arrive (I'm stretching out my hammies for good measure). Take note of the concerned look on my face. I'm too smart for my own good!

Poor me, here I am getting my 6 month shots. Don't worry, I only screamed for just a flash.

See? Just moments later I am happy as a clam! I'm a big boy now!

Giggle Box

Now that I'm rolling to all ends of the den I'm bound to my Pack-N-Play. That's okay because Mommy ensures I have a great time. Below is a video of some games we play!
