Presters is now one!





































Today was Prestons first birthday, it was one year ago today that we were at the hospital and we were chillin' waiting for him to come with the IV antibiotics dripped into my vein. I still just cannot believe that he is one, my baby already had his first party. I decided to make it a family affair this time and keep it smaller and cheaper. Preston has not been feeling really well lately and slept through the first part of his party. I took him to the Doctor on Monday and it turns out he has an ear infection, poor baby. But he had a good time, the chocolate cake smeared all over you know the good stuff about turning one. I was amazed that he actually "got" this whole opening presents thing, he would rip and was actually interested in the present and not the wrapping! He got some cute things, his favorite was from Uncle E-- a sports center interactive toy with baseball, basketball and football, it is right up his alley! We on the other hand got him a savings account. I know, I know, BORING. But he really has so many toys, especially since he is our second and he will do just fine without another one from us. He got a sandbox and picnic table from Grandma and Papa, we are now locked into having a certain amount of living space for all the kids toys!
Preston loves to play patty-cake and babble. He will eat any fruit, but not so keen on the veggies. He is not walking yet, but couch cruises really well. He is already fast enough at crawling and getting up the stairs by himself. He got his first haircut today too and except for the stylist nicking his neck with the clippers he did really well. I wish I wouldn't have had so much cut off, but he is a handsome little man now. (And for those of you looking to cut your kids hair I would completely reccommend going to Cookie Cutters haircuts for kids, it is an amazing place and so accomidating for kids.) So glad that I have my little boy and I love that he is in our family.

Happy Birthday to Preston! He really is a cute-y. Are you going to the dinner on April 26th? (or whatever that last sunday of April is)
Chase started walking at 14 months-ish. He was the latest of all my kids. But he is walking like a mad man now.
