Doctor Visit and More!

Preston had his 6 month check up on Thursday. He is....... (drumroll please) 19lbs. and 28 inches long. The doctor said he is right on target with his height and weight and is hitting all the important milestones. Preston also got 2 shots. He took them really well, only cried for a minute. He goes back at 9 months.

We have had lots of new things happening this week. First of all we have started adding some vegetables to Preston's dinner time feeding. So far they seem to be hit. This boy is definitely going to be a good eater. We have also started some finger foods for a little snack. He's not really sure about them yet but likes playing with them. And as of Sat. he now has TWO bottom teeth. Pretty soon he's going to be ready for some steak and pork chops.

We also upgraded to a new car seat this weekend. YEAH!!!! I was so tired of carrying around the infant car seat!!! It's so heavy and hard to maneuver. I'm so glad he grew out the infant seat already. And the last new change for the week is a new tubby seat. He loves being able to sit and play in the water now. It's so cute to see him splashing in the bubbles and playing with his duckies.

So that's the latest for now. Peter and I are so happy and enjoying Preston everyday. He is so fun to be with and is constantly making us laugh. What a joy he has brought to our lives. Ok, enough of the mushy stuff.......here are some pics.

Happy half-birthday!

Today Preston turned 6 months old. :) Yesterday, Sybil found that he cut his first tooth on the bottom front. Both of us are sick, so we haven't been poking around in his mouth looking for it. We promise to have pictures of the lone tooth once it gets bigger.

This little boy just keeps growing! He's wearing 9-12 month clothes. Of course mommy and daddy are both tall, so we know the P-man will be tall, too. We're already shopping and comparing new car seats. He'll be grown out of his infant seat soon. He's getting good at rolling from his stomach to his back, but still working on the back to belly. So if flips over at night and ends up waking us up, we have to flip him back to his stomach. And by "we" I mean Kirsten.

We tried reading with him, but all he wants to do is munch on the books. I think we're a little early. He does like all the colors though!
