Half a year!

Preston turned 6 months on Nov. 1
He started solids this month. And he lOVES sweet potatoes!!! He literally fell asleep as I was feeding him, hence his orange face.
Never too early to start. ;) Preston learning hand positioning.
'Aunt Carolyn' and Preston. Carolyn works her magic...He was asleep a few minutes after this picture was taken.
Preston with Mimi and Papaw, his great-grandparents! We love that they came to visit with Aunt Denise and Uncle Chris, but somehow they got away without a picture! Next time!
Jack Slay and P ready for some shopping with their Mommies.
Jack with his mom Debbie. Debbie and I were roommates in college. Jack is about 3 1/2 months older than Preston. Such a cutie...thanks for coming to see us!!!!


Preston weighs a little over 15 lbs. (I won't say what percentile that puts him at, in fear that it will concern the grandparents reading this) We're hoping with the start of solid foods this month that he will put on some more weight!! But he continues to be a great sleeper, and in a happy mood for MOST of the day. Jason and I continue to say how undeserving we feel to be the parents of Preston.

Dear Preston,
Here's 6 things about you worth mentioning and remembering. 1. You are starting to grab anything within reach, especially mommies hair. I think that's your favorite. But you are very quick nonetheless. And you have such a strong grip that we literally have to pry your fingers off objects. 2. You're almost sitting up without falling over. I think you are just days away. You can sit up now for a couple of minutes and then you topple over. But you never cry when you do. 3. Your smile is so contagious. Someone said that when you smile it's with your whole body. And I couldn't say it any better. 4. You seem to really enjoy listening to music. If you're crying in the car and I turn on the music it seems to do the trick! And of course you love to listen to your daddy sing! ;) 5. You are starting to lay your head on my shoulder. Even if it's just a few seconds I love it. It melts my heart. 6. You think Bella is sooo funny. She makes you giggle more than anything or anyone else. When she's around you want to be right next to her. You love to pull her hair and ears. And Bella of course will let you do anything to her.
We love you sweet boy.
