9 month pictures (a little late....)

Since I did not even have Preston's 9 month pictures made until he was 10 months old--totally unlike me!-it has taken awhile to get them selected and go get them. However, I thought I would post anyway :) Some people like the bowl pics, some don't, but I think it is cute. I mean, he wouldn't be able to fit in it now......Hope everyone is staying dry!!

More Beach....

I think it is pretty common for 11 month olds to not care for the waves and ocean very much, but as you can see Preston made the best of it hanging out in his baby pool! Thanks so much to the people who suggested we bring one for him to play in--it was a LIFESAVER! I didn't get that many good pictures from my disposable camera because I took it in the water and it got wet....at least it wasn't my good camera. But, hopefully, you can get the idea :) Happy week!

Family Beach Trip!

I was so glad that Nana, Pops, Aunt Kendal, and Kevin were able to make our vacation very special this year! We had a great family trip to Orange Beach last week, and Preston was a TROOPER! He did not care much for the ocean, but loved his baby pool sitting under the umbrella and the regular swimming pool. He slept very well while we were there, but everyone else was not quite used to our early hour of waking....
All the pictures I took on the beach are still in a disposable camera that I am trying to take up, so hopefully I will have some of those to post soon.
Have a great week!

Makeshift walker

I actually have not bought Preston a "walker" because I have read they are not recommended at this time. (I am sure that could change in 5 years!) But anyway, we got Preston a car dvd player, and decided to save the box because he was so interested in it. Well, I am sure glad we did--he is using it as a WALKER!! So now his favorite toys are a box, a cool-whip container, and a meat mallet :) We are beach bound Saturday and I will try to post while I am there from my iPhone but if I don't there will be a lot to report when we get back I am sure..happy day!

One Last Peach Fest Entry....

Well, I know this blog has gone a little Peach Fest crazy...but I could not resist posting one of the pics I entered into the photo contest. Now, Preston was really excited about these peaches, and hardly any of them made it home without bite marks! We had a blast. I want to say thanks again to Julia and Kevin for going the extra mile in getting this one in by the deadline.....more later :)
