I can’t believe that it’s been 11 months already, but alas it has come. Preston continues to grow each and every day. Just this week I feel like he is doing so many more things. He is walking a lot better and faster. Last night he walked all the way into his room got a book, brought it out to Ryan who read it to him and then he walked back to his room and got another book and brought it back to daddy. He did it again tonight when Grandma and Poppy were here. I’m so excited that he loves to read! It’s amazing how much he knows how to do. He also has started to put objects into containers. He loves to open things and find something new inside. He has learned how to push the buttons on Scout (his personalized dog that sings to him). He can push buttons down on toys. Ryan has been working with him on playing ball. Sometimes he rolls it, but he also tries to throw it.

Preston hasn’t been too excited about baby food the last couple of weeks so I have started trying to make more dinners that he can have some of. He is so excited to eat dinner with us now. He gets his own bowl and fork (Which both normally end up on the floor by the end of dinner). I think his favorite new food from this week is plain ground beef. Go figure.

Another big thing that we have been working on this week is weaning. I still have mixed feelings about this, but it was time. Preston has been a real sport about the whole thing and takes the bottles just fine. It’s been almost two weeks since we started the process and we are almost there. After making myself really sick (not on purpose) and having to go backwards a few steps we have made it. The last time Preston nursed was Wednesday morning. We have all lost a little sleep in the process as Preston is now getting up at 5:30 am. I can’t wait for the time change to see if that will help him sleep a little later.

We love you Preston!
