1 Year - Exciting Changes!

Preston had his 1 yr. check-up with his doctor last week.  His weight came in at 20 lbs., 7 oz. so the first new thing we got to do was move his carseat around.  He now faces forward and is enjoying communicating with us in the car!  We have also started him on whole milk.  He's not really taking to it like I thought he would.  I guess it will take time as it tastes so much different than formula.  The other exciting change is that Preston can now wear shoes!  He is only walking now, no more crawling so the dr. said shoes were fine.  We went out and bought him a pair of Nike's!  He really likes them too!  Another thing is that Preston still only has 2 teeth!  I can't believe he doesn't have more but it has not slowed him down from eating and trying new things!  He also had to receive 5 vaccinations and I am happy to say it all went well.

All in all Preston turning one has been an exciting adventure.  I'm not too fond of the new temper tantrums that have developed but I suppose this is to be expected.  Also, he is really favoring his daddy over his mommy right now which is another interesting change that takes adjustments!  More updates to come!

Playing in the Snow

We mad the 1 1/2 hr. drive to Globe yesterday to play in the snow.  I love Arizona!  It's sunny and warm in Phoenix and you just have to drive a short distance to play in the snow.  The next day we are back in Phoenix wearing short sleeves!!  Well Preston didn't care for the snow.  We got all bundled up and played for all of about 10-15 minutes!  Just enough time to get some great photos!  The scenery is just beautiful!  I'm glad we didn't drive 2+ hrs. north for the snow as Preston didn't even enjoy it!  Also, this way we were able to spend time with family and eat Globe mexican food which is always an added bonus :)

Hopefully he'll enjoy it more next year.  What can I say?  He's Phoenix born....warm blooded!!

Snow Angel?? - Not really!

First Birthday Party

We had Preston's first Birthday Party at Peter Piper Pizza.  So many of our family and friends joined us in the celebration!  What a milestone to reach one year!  We love our little man so much and can't wait for the new journey's ahead! 

Preston turns One!!

The big day is finally here! We gave Preston a cupcake in preparation for his birthday party on Saturday where he'll dig into birthday cake! Once he tried the icing....it was all history. It's official, he LOVES sweets!! Will post more birthday pictures after his party on Saturday :)

Preston's Big Boy Haircut

We took Preston to get a big boy haircut today. He desperately needed it and he has a big 1st birthday party coming up next weekend! We found a place called Snip It's. It's a place just for kids. They did a great job but Preston did not like the clippers at all! He was crying and screaming! What drama over a haircut :)


Preston - Pre-Haircut

What is she doing to my foot?!?!

Hopefully the sucker will make it all better!

Oh boy - here come the tears!

All done! - My handsome little man :)

Hopefully we made up for it by taking him to Red Robin for lunch where he enjoyed a grilled cheese sandwich and then going to play in the play area at Chandler Mall.
