11 Weeks

That's right - Preston is 11 Weeks old TODAY! Pretty insane how fast time flies, not to mention how big our baby boy is getting. He seriously changes from day to day. We love it!

An update for you:

• "Tummy time" - still a bit of a bummer for Preston, but we are working on it and encouraging him to love it. Easier said than done.


• He is holding his head up like a champ! Although, we have always thought that his neck was strong from early on. So that is going extremely well. He likes to hold our hands and pull himself up towards us.


• Smiles - oh they are endless! He is the happiest baby in the morning when he wakes up. I walk into his room and he is lying there in his crib and as soon as he sees me he breaks out a HUGE smile. It melts my heart.


• Mr. Coo-Man - Preston is definitely exercising his little voice. He is constantly cooing and he is starting to say new things and make new noises. It's adorable. I think his voice is changing a little too.


• He is officially in 3 month + clothes and looks adorable in every thing he wears. OF COURSE!


• He LOVES to eat and has gotten into a routine of 2 good naps a day - when I say good, I mean about 3 hours in the morning and then another 2 hours or so in the afternoon.


• His daycare (I hate calling it that b/c it is so much more than a daycare - it is his "Home Away from Home") routine is pretty much nailed down and is going very well. Sometimes, on the weekends, I feel like we are disrupting what he has grown so used to all week. We try to stick with the routine, but it has been a challenge b/c we are always trying to go and do things as a family. We will get it sorted out soon :) We are extremely blessed that we found Shelly to look after our little guy during the week. Preston loves her and it is such a comfort to know that he is in such loving hands.

Well, I have said a lot and probably too much. Sorry if I have bored anyone :) We are loving each new part of Preston and the individual that he is coming. We have truely been given the greatest gift in the world to not only be parents but to have such an amazing son. We can't imagine life any other way.

2 Months Old

Preston is 2 months old today.  We went to the doctor for his 2 month check-up and immunizations.   

The big boy weighs 11 lbs 10.8 ounces and is 23 3/4 inches long.  

He is always so amazing with the doctor - it is impressive.  He did well with his shots - he cried of course and that broke Mommy and Daddy's heart, but he was a trooper and was sound asleep by the time we walked out of the office door.  The rest of the day was flawless - he had a great day and handled the shots quite well.  

We are so excited to enter the next few months of our special man's life.  We know he is going to change so much and become even more of his own person.  His personality is already developing into such a cutie and I can't get enough of him.  He is constantly cooing at me and coo's back when I talk or coo at him.  I love our conversations.  He can't help but smile from ear to ear when Daddy talks to him.  We really are committed to soaking up each and every moment with him.  

One thing is certain - we are falling more and more in love with Preston each day.  We never thought we could love someone so much.
