July 2011 - Preston 2.5 yrs., Bryson 9 months

July presents us with a 2 1/2 yr old and a 9 month old! At Bryson's 9 month check up he was 19 lbs., 5 oz & 28 1/2 in. long! I do compare his stats to what Preston was and so far he is shorter and weighs more. He definitely has a different build than Preston. Now that Bryson is older, the boys are really enjoying playing together. Also, we have started potty training Preston. We're taking it slow. He has gone pee pee in the potty several times and loves his candy rewards! We are using pull ups to start (occasionally underwear) and so far I'm impressed with his progress.

They are the joys of my life :)

June 2011

June was another fun month! The pool is warm enough to swim. Preston is doing so well in the pool! He is finally big enough for a life jacket and it keeps him afloat! We don't have to be holding him anymore.....he's gaining an independence in the pool and he's a little fish! He's doing really good with kicking his legs and moving his arms to get around. I really need to get him in swim lessons. Also, Bryson started crawling up on his hands and knees!

We also did a "staycation" at the Arizona Grand Resort. It's only about 15 min. from our house but it really feels like we got away! They have a huge water park area and it's very kid friendly. We had a blast!

Fun in our pool!

Bryson - 6 Months

At Bryson's 6 month check up he was 17 lbs., 7 oz and 27 in. long!! We started baby food as well although he's not liking it too much yet. Preston is being a good big brother and very helpful as you can see in the photo where he's feeding Bryson!
