Mr. and Mrs.

Well, not anytime soon. The beautiful little redhead (Mattie) with Preston is the daughter of our best friends, Matt and Amanda. The day we found out Preston was a boy, Amanda and I immediately started daydreaming about their future nuptials to each other. We may be getting a little ahead of ourselves but you never know :) We took some cute pictures of the two lovebirds in their bumbos. As you can see from the second photo, Mattie LOVES to touch Preston. And anyone that knows Amanda can tell you that this trait is definitely from her. She is hilarious and Blake and I just adore her. I think these two are going to be great friends. Be on the lookout for updated pictures as they grow and change. I've also added a few pictures of Preston and his precious little smile. I just love my boy!!!

Cheese!
Mattie: "Aw, I love to rub your face, Preston"
Preston: "Mom, I'm done"
Little Monster
I love his smile

Snow!

The snow we had this weekend was beautiful. If Preston was older we would have definitely gone outside to play. But, since P is still a little fella, we decided to stay indoors and watch from the window. Preston showed his snow spirit by wearing his onesie with a polar bear :) When Daddy got home from work we decided to bundle Preston and brace the snow for a few pictures. I'm sure he will have a little more fun next year if we are lucky enough to get good snow again. NEW POST BELOW!





3 Months

I can't believe Preston is already 3 months old! These past months have been such a whirlwind of changes for our family. It is still mind boggling to see this precious baby and know that he is OUR child. Preston has brought so much joy to us and it's strange to think of our lives before him. He has the cutest smile and it melts my heart every time. I love being able to stay home with him everyday and watch him grow and learn new things. He is doing so much better sleeping at night but still doesn't like to nap much. He holds his head up so well and I think it's because he loves to look around so much. He loves for people to walk him around either over the shoulder or facing outward. He doesn't like to be cradled (unless he's nursing, lol). He loves to take his bath and splash all over the place. He never sits still. He always kicks his legs or waves his arms when he's laying down. I have a feeling he's going to be an early crawler but we'll see...below are some pictures of his 3 month photo shoot. He did so well and lasted an hour and a half. We were so proud of him.

Sleep Success

I am so proud of my boy that I have to brag on him this morning. Preston slept from 9:30 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. this morning! And that's not all. After I fed him, I laid him back down while awake but sleepy and he put himself back to sleep until 6:20. His poor tummy usually hurts late at night so our normal sleep pattern is to wake every 3-4 hours. Normally it takes me over an hour to get him fed and knocked out asleep before I place him in the crib. He usually will wake right up if he's not totally asleep. I really think we're on the tail end of his colic and I'm so thankful he's feeling much better. I'm so proud of him! Hopefully we will have more nights like this from now on!
