Smarty Pants

Preston's new hobby this week is to bang on the back door and scare Runtly. It's so funny!

Please get me out of here! It's so sad. Now that Preston can stand up, he gets stuck. He knows how to get up but can't quite figure out how to get down.

Daddy is taking a study break to play with Preston.





Highchair Time

Preston's highchair came in on Tuesday so he was able to eat like a big boy in his chair. Yeah!! So fun!! I love the brown. I think this will be a wonderful highchair for our other babies...either girls or boys.


He's been sticking his tongue out a lot lately. It's so cute! I know in a few years we will be like, "Put that thing back in your mouth!"

Growing Up So Fast


Is he really suppose to be pulling up so fast? He's only 6 1/2 months old!!! Where has the time gone? He's changing everyday...right before my eyes!!!

We Love Bath Time!

Preston loves his baths! I hope he always loves his baths. He stays entertained for a long time. He has learned to splash. He will splash with his arms, but sometimes he will start kicking his feet. It scares me to death because he'll get so squirmy that he'll slip down into the bath. I grab him up before he goes too far, but it scares me!!




Active Little Boy!

On Sunday, Preston started crawling. We got out the video camera and caught him on video crawling over to Dustin on the couch and the next thing we know he was pulling himself up to his feet. We were so shocked! He hit two milestones at the same time. Since then, we've taken things off of our lower shelves and even taken a few shelves out. He's a little stinker! I'll try to take a picture of him crawling this week.

Now that he can sit up, he looks so sad peering over his crib crying.

We had to make the bottom of the book shelf a toy shelf because he was pulling everything off of it. He's excited to have his own place.

He's pulling up to his knees on almost everything.

Texas State Fair


On October 9th, we went to the State Fair with my parents, Mamaw, and my aunt and uncle. It was a lot of fun. Aunt Mary took Preston around the petting zoo, we got to check out all the new cars, and Mamaw really enjoyed holding Preston. Dustin tried the fried Snicker bar and it was REALLY good!!! It tasted like a really really good cookie. When we were leaving I was going to go by and try the fried Jelly Bellies, but the place had already closed. I was so curious to what they tasted like. The big thing this year was the chicken-fried bacon...a lot of people said it was good but we just didn't care to try it. I wonder what next year's big 'fried' thing will be?

We love JEEPS!!!!
Nothings coming to my left. Let's go! Rrrummmm rrrumm!
I can see over the steering wheel, daddy! I'm ready to drive!
Yea, dad and I look good in this Challenger! Can I have it, mom?
(Sure, you can have a 2008 Challenger when you are 16 years old in 2024.)

Six Months Old!!!

Yesterday was Preston's 6 month old birthday! Time sure does fly by so fast! We thought we would celebrate by getting him a few little 6 month old toys and we baked a cake (any excuse for cake). I weighed/measured him yesterday and he weighs 17 lbs. and 14 oz. and is 26.5 inches long. On Tuesday, we woke up to find that Preston's hair was lying flat. It has always stuck straight up in the air.

He did NOT like us putting the bows on his head...he's all boy!!

Today, he decided that since he was 6 months old, he is old enough to sit up by himself. So that's just what he did all day today.

Cute baby! Check out the bubble on his chin....ha ha!!

Da da da da OhhHHH

Lil' Stinker

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. I've got a lil' stinker on my hands. For example:
He's rolling all over the place and getting into everything....including my stack of coupons I had all organized!

He's making a face everytime he eats baby food. I was thinking he just didn't like sweet peas, but he makes this face after his first bite of food. However, he still eats it all. (What a mess he makes!)

Look at the floor....um YA, that's what it is!!!! For some reason he's been pooping out of his diaper lately, but only once has it been THIS bad.

Like I said, he's rolling everywhere. When we were at my parent's we looked down and he was 'hiding' between the table and entertainment center.
His first 'shiner'. He rolled over to the bookshelf and pulled a picture frame down on his eye. I think I cried more than he did.
