Preston had his 1 month checkup today.
YEP. He's already a month old. I don't know where the time is going....

But the doctor said he's doing great! He was impressed at how alert Preston was as well as the fact that he's already trying to roll over. Little does he know that was just Prestons "where's the bottle" back/head arch. But thats ok if he wants to think he's advanced!

He now weighs 9 lb 10 oz - which puts him in the 25th percentile
He's almost 22 inches (just a bit shy of that) - which is in the 75th percentile!

It was a successful appointment followed up by a visit to Aunt Jen's where he decided to show her just how much he loves her by peeing on her during a diaper change. Now thats love.

This past week we've been working hard on getting Preston to learn to fall asleep on his own, and even more important in his own bed. Before this week he'd only sleep if I was holding him and spent his nights in bed with us. But not anymore!

At first there was a lot of this going on. . . .





And more of this. . . .





But that led to more of this going on!!

And now he's on a really good schedule. Every 3 hours he'll eat, then we play- playing for us is usually dance parties, then I'll lay him down and he'll sleep for 2 hours. Repeat repeat repeat!


In case your wondering, this is what a 1 month old Preston looks like:







Notice his spiky hair in this picture!


LOVE him!!
