Eating and being cute

Hopefully this video works, but Preston just loved the pears he was eating on this day.

We can't seem to stop taking pictures of Preston. One day he was just sitting in my lap on the floor and I just started snapping away because even just sitting there he was so cute. 

Then big brother had to keep trying to put the Loser sign up and be caught in one of the pictures. 

After Tyler had his knee surgery he needed to go to Physical Therapy, and I wasn't about to let him try to get there on his own. It was a tough surgery. So Preston and I had fun walking with Tyler to his appointments. And then Preston went on to fall asleep during the whole thing!!! Again, he is sleeping with his eyes open!!!! 

Aw, I love this kid!

Sitting next to Dad on the chair. He felt he was pretty special for being able to do this.

Snug as a bug in a rug! This is what Preston looked like going outside everyday for 5 months. He looks so sweet in this picture. Also, these down sleeping bag things are AWESOME. Kept him warm all winter. 

Cub Scouts!

Spencer is loving all the fun activities he's been able to do with the Cub Scouts, and to show that he is accomplishing things they have a Blue and Gold Banquet to get more badges (that I will have to sew on). He was really excited, and Preston and I were able to go and be there for him, since Tyler was down and out with his knee surgery when this happened. Tyler was really sad that he missed it.

Man, I love this kid.

The theme of their banquet was Problembusters.

So what each of the scouts had to do was come up with a project that would solve a problem that people would have. Spencer came up with The Reading Holder, because he reads so much. You see that blue and white checkered box? That's it!!! You can lean the book back on a reinforced tin foil back and then there are two little holders to hold the pages for you! I was really impressed that he came up with this, such a smart kid!!!! 

  

He also got his Bobcat patch! Way to go Spencer!! 

Singing...

We noticed that Preston would make a weird sound whenever there was music on, or if we were singing. Then in church one Sunday we realized that whenever we sang a song he would start doing this noise...he was SINGING! 

One night I had the song We Are Young by FUN. on and he just kept singing, so I got the camera out.

Preston

Taking pictures of Preston is fun. He's always so smiley. So, enjoy. 

One day Preston rolled over to the diapers, and then he figured out how to take the diapers out of the plastic wrapping. Fabulous!

Look what I can do mom!

He loves mirrors. We have a smaller one that he plays with and he will still give himself, the baby, kisses. It's adorable. 

Snow, Faces, Teeth

We got snow! We had FREEZING temps this winter, but not much snow, then we finally got some! So we had to go out in it....and have a small snowball fight. We bundled up Preston a lot, and we went out to Teardrop Park.

You can just see Tyler about to throw a snowball at Spencer, who is around the corner. I couldn't quite keep up with them. 

The two of them in a standoff. We didn't stay out too long, because it was REALLY FREEZING. But it was fun to be out in the snow for a little bit.

Preston started to figure out how to make faces, and they are pretty funny. 

He looks like he smells something weird, but is also angry about it.

The push out of the top lip. He's been doing that a lot more lately, and his bottom lip has now almost all the way disappeared from his upper lip coming over it.

Zoned out.

WE HAVE TEETH! He got both of his bottom middle teeth on the same day. It's been 3 months since this picture, and he is finally adding some more teeth. 

Bugging Brother

Spencer loves to play video games on the xbox online thing with his friends. Before Preston could crawl around I would bring him into the room where Spencer played and let him watch. Then he started kinda crawling and trying to get at Spencer. Pictures below explain.

Hi Mom!

What's that on the TV screen?

Big brother kisses.

Do you see how much he loves his big brother?

Here's where the grabbing begins. 

And Spencer the whole time was just fine with it?!?! I for sure thought he would be mad, upset or something, but he wasn't. He just sat there calmly playing his game and moving around to get Preston off or make him laugh. Amazing.
