Mini Vacation

Labor Day at the Slaton's

We took a longer weekend for Labor Day and visited Dustin's parents. It was such a nice visit. Michele (Dustin's mom) always has the house so welcoming. She has a cute set up with Classic Pooh decor for Preston and it's so nice that we don't have to take everything with us when we go. Also, Dennis (Dustin's dad) is an amazing cook so we ate really well while we were there. Preston got to see his Aunt Meagan and Uncle Matt for the second time. He was only 6 weeks old last time he saw them so it was really good to see them again.

September 1st, Preston turned 5 months old. He's weighing about 16 lbs. 9 oz. He's starting to make a clicking/smacking noise with his tongue. We will copy-cat him and he just smiles like he knows we are messing with him. He's trying REALLY hard to sit up. He's rolling over like crazy. We have to hold him down when changing his diaper because he'll just roll right off the table. He loves to laugh and when we really get him going he makes us laugh so hard. He's been eating his cereal better but he still has room for improvement. It still gets all over his face and hands before we are done. We found out that if he's cranky, we just need to go outside with him. He LOVES to be outside. He's all boy!!

Preston's Island

Just sit back, take your shoes off....imagine your toes in the sand, the smell of salty air and the sound of the waves crashing.

Let's go to the beach....in Preston's Room!!

Preston love relaxing in his tropical room.

(cont.)Welcome to Preston's Room

Preston's room has a rustic/tropical island theme.

I painted Preston's letters. You can't really tell but they are red and I made them look a little distressed/dirty with a tad of black paint. I'm still looking for something to go on the wall over the glider. I'm thinking of like a black and white ocean scene on a canvas. If you've got any ideas...please share.

Dustin restored an antique piece to exactly what I was wanting in a changing table. He also painted, added cork boards, and knobs to the blue mirror/shelf. He's been so awesome in helping me acheive what I've wanted for Preston's room.

A sweet lady made this for Preston and it is such a perfect addition to his room.

Momma Love Baby

This little boy is my pride and joy!

Rub-a-dub-dub..Baby Preston in the tub

He can sit up on his own in his baby tub.
He can, also, sit up on his own in his stroller!
And he's been laying on his tummy and pushing up a lot.

Got Teeth? I DO!!

See my two bottom teeth?

I've been sucking on my bottom lip and it makes me look like an old man. I'm trying to figure out what these things are in my mouth. Monday, I started sucking on Momma's finger and she felt my teeth. She said it makes a lot of sense considering I've been abnormally fussy and waking up a lot at night. Who knew my teeth would come in when I'm only 4 months old?

Big Blue Eyes

This past weekend Papa and Grammy came up to visit because Papa was playing in a tennis tournament in Plano.
Family Photo Time
I can't wait for Daddy and Papa to teach me how to play tennis.
Grammy and I are talking to the cute baby in the mirror.
Nonna and Great Grandma came to visit earlier in the week and I enjoyed all the books Great Grand read to me.
