Hey Preston, drop and give me 20!
No girl push-ups either!

Prestons crawling progress looks like this:
Please note, this video contains giggling. And Preston giggles are amazing.

Today was a total jammie day.
Also a day where Preston would not stop sticking out his tongue.
Both things are good.

Preston looked quite dashing in his tuxedo onesie today.
Very James Bond-ish.
And his side part hair got a LOT of compliments.
What can I say, he's just a looker!

Preston is already preparing to become a top chef.
Soon he'll be screaming at me that the food needs more salt or that its undercooked!

I brought the slide in from outside for Preston and his friends to play with today.
They all had a lot of fun with it.
His eyebrows look like they were kind of drawn on in this picture, but I assure you they were not. Just bad lighting!!

Everyday Preston tries to make sure that he pulls down all of our wii games, Ps3 games, or a section of dvds.

Today he did so while sportin these new shoes.
Fancy!
(Thanks to Candace & Gabe)

When he wears shirts and shorts he looks just like a little boy.
Unless he's wearing this shirt, then he looks like The Hulk!
RAHHHHH!!
HULK SMASH!!!!

Preston tried to talk us into upgrading his phone today.
Not gonna happen buddy, but good try!

(if your wondering his shirt says: "daddy's glad I'm a boy") *

* Note to all: his daddy would have been just as pleased if he had turned out to be a girl and will love all future girls we may end up with someday.

Sometimes you think 'I can sneak into Preston's room while he's sleeping, he'll never notice'. And then you hear all noise stop and look up to see this:

Followed by this:

Family dinner tonight- fun.
Green chili- excellent.
Preston's mood- much improved from the fit he was throwing at church (we're going to blame it on teething as he now has another tooth coming in)

Preston attended his first Diamondbacks game tonight (thanks to Jon & Brandy for the invite)!
And they won!! I imagine it's because he's good luck.
He had a REALLY good time (we all did). Loved the lights and the noises.
I think he was confused that people would clap when he wasn't even doing any tricks since that when he usually hears clapping. We definitely will have to go back again :D

AND, happy birthday Jimmy!!!!
Preston wore his Arizona Cardinals Jersey just for you all day long!!!!

I bet you wish you could stay home and play with this kid all day, don't you?!

(are you kidding me with those eyelashes kid?!?!)

Trust me, it's a lot of fun!!!!

Do not leave this kid alone with your mail. . . .

Look what Preston's been working on...
SHARPTOOTH!!!!!!

And just because he's so darn cute...

Look what Preston got in the mail today from his Aunt Laura!!
It's an exersauser, that pivots like a walker.
We couldn't wait for Patrick to get home so we could set it up!!!

We passed the time by sitting by the box. . .

We passed the time by tasting the box....

And climbing on top of the box....

Finally he was home and we could open it!!

Preston of course checked out all the accessories. He would get so excited as we unwrapped everything and showed it to him. He would curl his toes and lean so far out of the Bumbo to try and grab anything he could.

There is so much to see and play with!!

And he loves ALL OF IT!!

Thanks Laura for the gift, it's PERFECT!!!!

Wheelbarrow!

So today's picture is actually a video.
Because it's hard to take a picture of the following.
And he's been doing it A LOT recently.

Have you met the future Mrs. Preston Reynolds?!
Sure she's older, but he's OK with that as you can see.

Their love will stand the tests of time.

Preston is 7 months old today!!
Where did that last month go!?!
We're only 1 day into 7 months, and already he seems so different.
By different I mean squirmy, doesn't want to sit still, wants to go and be on the move.
He's not happy just laying on his blanket playing with his toys. He wants to roll and "help" by taking all the Playstation games and movies off the shelf, "help" me by ripping up all my mail/paper/magazines that are near him. "Help" by grabbing the internet cord and showing me how good it tastes.

Even taking this picture was quite an ordeal. He was wearing shoes till he kept falling over because he was trying to eat them. So the shoes came off. And we took over 50 shots before we could get one where he was sitting still looking in our direction, sort of smiling.

He's going to be one active child.

What a good laundry helper I have!

Funny thing is he actually rolled/scooted himself in there.
And then out.
And then back in.

He's been busy today.

It's that time again!
1 week, 10 weeks, 20 weeks and as of today 30 weeks!!

You would think a toy that looks like this would scare a baby.

It's actually one of Preston's favorite things to play with.
He loves when we make it talk to him, and give him kisses.

Preston is going mobile...
He wants to crawl so bad, but can't quite put all the motions together.
Wont be too much longer though I don't think.
Then lookout Jack, He'll be coming for ya!

At Walmart today we got Preston these disolvable rice cake cracker things called Baby Mum Mum's. They look like small styraphome surf boards.
He didn't do so bad with them.
There's even a video to prove it!

He moans/hums while he is eating which is interesting.
And looks adorable as he tries to chew!

Preston was kind of dressed like an old man today.
Hawaiian print shirt tucked into his shorts and of course his old man velcro shoes.
Super cute though.

We went to a reception tonight for one of Patrick's childhood friends.
Preston was a big hit of course.
And in true Preston style he tried to taste everything. The tablecloth, the bride, his Nana, the green beads that were part of the centerpieces, his shoes. . . EVERYTHING!

Preston didn't take very good naps today, so needless to say he crashed pretty early.
No bath, no pre-bed bottle, no jammies, no time for anything!
I hope today's early bed time doesn't mean an early riser tomorrow.

Sorry for the poor picture quality, but he went to bed before our regularly scheduled photo shoot!

No no Preston... Rootbeer is not a stage 2 food!

My Aunt Debbie gave Preston a new toy!!
His balance will need a little improving before he's good to go on his own, but then there will be no stopping him!

Notice anything different about Preston?!?!?!

He has SHOES!!!!
They look like old man sailing shoes.
He likes the velcro.
He also has jean shorts now.
So stylish!!

Trips to Target give Preston a chance to try hats on and pretend he's Indiana Jones.

Someone was up WAY past his bedtime tonight.
He doesn't seem to be effected by it though...
Check out that full belly!!!
