Walkin and gettin some teeth...

Well my baby boy (which will be a year old in just a couple weeks, I cant believe it!! *tears*) is walking and finally got his two front teeth. The teeth are on the top and they still aren't all the way showing but you can see about half of them. His bottom ones you can tell are there, they just havent broken through yet. He was pretty cranky when those tops ones were coming, but he did sleep alot, so that was nice. I'll try to get a picture when they come all the way through, he hates anyone touching his mouth.


As for walking, Preston has been walking along the couch and whatever else he can use to hold himself up for about the last month. Just this last weekend he has been getting more and more brave and just walking anywhere and everywhere. He can walk around for quite a bit before falling. When he falls down he can't get up yet so he still does his little funny scoot to something to lift himself back up and then he's on his way again. He's so cute when he walks, he seems SOOO big, I can't believe how fast he's growing.


Each day my precious Preston is doing something new. I have been trying to get him to say "momma and dadda", which he does say it, I just don't think he knows what it means quite yet. The other day it was cute, I was calling him 'dude' and he thought it was the funniest thing, so I just kept saying, "hey dude" and Preston says "duu" but its the only time I got him to do it, he wont do it again. When you say "YEA!!" he will clap his hands and then when you say "So Big" he will put his arms in the air. So everyday he is making me laugh with something new. He has started something that doesnt make me laugh so much, he likes to scream (like a girl), really loud....when he doesnt get what he wants or when he's trapped in his little play area (just the den with the ottoman in between the couch and chair) He also does not like when mommy has a blanket on. In the morning I'll sit on the couch with a blanket and Preston will come and get mad and try to get the blanket off. I'm beginning to think it's because he knows I hide my cell phone and the remote behind it, and those are his two favorite things that he cant have. But he's still my little buddy and I just love him to death!!

*Preston walks a lot more than whats in the video, but he was trying to find his marshmallows and boy does he love marshmallows (like father, like son)!!!

Yep...he is getting too big. I will miss that little scoot when he finally leaves it behind. Now he will probably figure out how to move the ottoman out of the way. I think his days of being corraled are numbered!! :o) Love you guys!

Can this possibly be the little guy I held in the NICU at AF hospital...I guess so since he still has the signature head of beautiful hair. He is such a cutie-always has a smile! Such fun times watching them reach these milestones. Brings to mind a popular song, "Don't Blink" or "You're Gonna Miss This". So true!!! Enjoy each day!

Holy Cow Mindy, I can't believe he is walking. I still think of him as the little 6 month old he was when we met. So crazy!!
