Bear :)

Porter McClain has had another great day! The therapist put a nipple on a syringe and he took a few sucks off of it! I think he will continue to get the hang of it! I am just so glad he tries his best every day! His feedings have been bumped up to 2 oz. and he is doing great! They are taking out his IV's tomorrow which is huge! It's a great sign that things are headed in the right direction (which is home)!

So as far as the nickname search continues, Thomas and Jennifer have picked "Bear"!

Everyone in our family has a nickname that we go by to each other. We have Jear Bear (Jerry), Honey (Pamela), Big Daddy or 6 Screw:)(Don), Nana (Cindy), T is Thomas, Jenn Jenn is Jennifer, Bo is Keith, BiBi is Rebekah, Porter will call me GiGi, and my girls are called Boo Boo and Sweet Pea. We had a hard time coming up with a nickname for Jody (my husband), so jokingly one night, he said "I want Porter to call me 'War Eagle' so every time I come around Thomas and Porter have to say it!" Ha! The conversation ended up with Jody's name being Weagle (which is in an Auburn cheer our girls love) and we have really gotten a kick out of knowing how much they love Alabama and will have to say Weagle all the time :)

Fittingly, Thomas and Jenn want us to call Porter Mac "Bear" :) I really think it's a cute name for him, and even though it might take a while to roll off our tongue, I think Bear fits him perfectly!! :)

I hope to see many of you this weekend at the Softball Tournament! I told them we needed to go ahead and make Porter some onesies that say "Sponsored by _________" so we could help support the businesses and people who have been so incredibly generous and supportive! :) Words will never be enough, but Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Love and Blessings to you all!
