8 Month Pictures

We had pictures taken of Preston today. I think they turned out great. Preston also had his picture taken with Grandma! Then we went to lunch with "the Grandmas" and shopping after that. It was a really fun day! We'll be mailing photos out so look for them to arrive soon!

Playdate with cousins

Preston had playdates with his cousins on Friday. We started out at Carrah's house. Robyn & Adam were also there with Ryan. Preston had so much fun playing with Ryan, Addyson & Abigail. Thanks for a great afternoon!

Chris & Rachel brought their kids Connor, Colby, Cade & Ryleigh along with friend Zoe Friday evening for swimming & dinner. We had a great time and also played UNO! What fun!

Thank you all for a wonderful play day!

What's in there?

Where are you going?

I can't believe that Preston is 8 months old. This is such a fun age! He is ALL over the place now! He will be walking sooner than later and I'm not ready for that yet. He's is growing up too fast! I was worried how our dog lucky would react once he started crawling. She's done very well and I've been teaching Preston how to pet her as he likes to grab her fur and pull! He is in a grabbing phase right now. He is the "bully" at daycare because he grabs at the other kids. Faces, hair, etc. I'm really hoping this is just a phase!

The video is of Preston crawling on the tile. He crawls fine on the carpet then when he gets to the tile he drags one leg and goes flat foot on the other. Too funny! The tile was an imaginary gate at first because he didn't like it but that didn't last long. He still crawls funny on it but goes wherever now!

We have been very busy lately which is why I haven't updated in a while. Garrett & Julie brought their two boys Matthew & Andy to visit last weekend. This was the first time they all met Preston. We had a nice visit and posted a couple pictures.

Preston also got sick a couple weeks ago. I thought it was just a cold along with a fever. His fever got up to 103. We were able to get the fever down and waited it out. His fever subsided but the following week he still had cold symptoms and the fever was coming and going. Then he developed a rash on his face and legs. We took him to the Dr. and he ended up being diagnosed with a strain of the flu and an ear infection in his right ear. Apparently at the tail end of the flu, babies tend to develop a rash. So he got his first ear infection and had his first antibiotic. Poor guy. Hopefully that will be the worst he gets all winter. Why can't I just keep him in a bubble?!?

More updates to come as our little joy keeps growing!
