Preston's 6 month stats

Almost forgot! We had Preston's 6 month appointment last Friday and he's weighing in at 18lbs 4oz and is 26" long! Preston spent a lot of the appointment sitting up staring at himself in the mirror while ripping up the paper he was sitting on. The pediatrician couldn't believe how close he is to crawling already and is very impressed with his sleep "skills". She told us to start him on solids immediately so we did! He's loving them and his growing belly is proof. He got 4 shots and cried just a little.

Preston's first food!

Just before we left for Vegas we gave Preston rice cereal for the first time and he gobbled it right up like a big boy!! It's like he'd been eating food his whole life. He opened right up and swallowed it like a pro:) BT and I keep saying he's grown substantially in one week as a result of eating solids. This week he started on carrots and sweet potatoes and loves them both. Sophia also helped give Preston a bottle this week which was a very "awww" moment for us:)

Chillen' in the bumbo before his first feast!


Mmmmmm:)



Aaaaaa done!

Our "awwwwwwww" moment of the week: Sophia giving Preston a bottle for the first time

Las Vegas Summer 2010

We decided to tag along with Nana and Nonno on their trip to Las Vegas. We told Sophia about the trip so the morning we were leaving first thing she said when she woke up was "Las Vegas???"(actually more like "Los Begas???"). She did SOOOO well on the car ride there. I'd gotten her lots of new toys for the car which helped. We had a HUGE suite and another hotel room attached where Nana and the kiddies slept. Nonno had another hotel room allll to himself(can't say we blame him ha!). Nana took care of the kids one night so we could hit the town with some friends but the pool with the kids was the highlight!! And of course we all enjoyed many trips to the buffet:) We didn't take many pictures but here are a few:

Our baby boy's first trip to Vegas...look how happy he is!!


Our big night on the town!!
It's Pool time!




Sophia spent a lot of time on the hotel room phone crank calling other rooms until we unplugged it:)

Preston spent a lot of time on the hotel room floor eating his toys like this:

Tired boy

Since I switched to "google chrome" I can upload pictures MUCH faster now so hopefully I'll update the blog more! Anway...Preston is so wiped out when he gets home from daycare, he often just falls asleep wherever like this:

Acrobats!

Tonight Preston was REALLY close to crawling! We were in awe watching him lift himself up off the floor(KNEES and all!). He was rocking like crazy on all fours at first then he figured out how to get his knees underneath him and then he lifted them up. He may have ditched the "up dog" yoga move he'd mastered! We might just have a 6month old crawling baby! Seems like it's all going toooooo fast!!

Father's Day 2010

Father's Day was kicked off with brunch at the Odyssey. I spent many holiday brunches at the Odyssey with my parents growing up so it was very special to take our babies there with Nana and Nonno. It was perfect weather to sit outside and take in the beautiful view. After brunch, Nana/Nonno took Sophia to the park while mommy daddy and Preston napped. Preston had a fever the night before so were up super early with him. Later in the afternoon we all went swimming and Sophia showed off her fishy skills. Perfect day with the family!

Preston's new favorites~

Preston loves sitting up all by himself~he still tips over sometimes but he's getting really sturdy and he's so proud of himself:) He also loves playing with this ball that has a bumble bee in the center. Thankfully we have 3 of them so Miss Sophia has one to play with too. Preston is master of the "up dog" yoga move and spends a lot of time perfecting it. Once perfect, he'll throw himself forward like a worm and reach for a toy. He can "worm" himself pretty far!

Up Dog!!


PJ's favorite new toy...the bee ball!


We love "trying" to get shots of both kids. So far the most success we've had is while Sophia is watching Fresh Beat Band(her new favorite)...Preston loves all the singing too so we snap away! This particular day Sophia was adamant that Preston have his "hat" on!
