3 Months Old

Preston is now officially 3 months old! I can't believe how much he has grown. At his 2 month appointment he was 12 lbs. 8 oz. and 23.75 inches long. I am sure he is much bigger now!  He has started "talking" and is now grabbing at his toys and putting them in his mouth, which is so cute! He loves sitting up against the couch or in his bumbo and being able to look around and see what is going on. He has started scooting across the floor a little bit in several different ways, which is fun to see. He loves the water and now enjoys being outside. On a good night he is sleeping 9 hours and then another 5 after I feed him...a bad night is 6.5 hours or so. I am grateful for a good sleeper! Overall, we are loving our little boy and seeing him grow!

Here are a few pictures of what he is looking like now! His eyes are really blue and his hair is getting more and more red. His cheeks are still large and in charge!

This is a normal everyday face:

This is his talking face: 

 The drooling has begun! Ahhh! Now I have to change his onsie more often.

 His hands are some of the most entertaining things in his life these days. 

 This is him sitting up on the couch!

I love taking pictures of my little man! He has started to get scared of the flash, so I just have to make sure that there is enough light in the room. Isn't he so cute! And a special thanks to Michelle Mosley for letting us borrow her camera! 

Happiest Place on Earth!

We were able to go to Disneyland and California Adventure for a three days earlier this week. We all had a blast! Neil ended up getting sick the last day, which was a bummer, but for the most part we were healthy and happy! The flight ended up being okay too! I was a little afraid that Preston was going to freak out, but he ended up eating on the way up and then sleeping almost the whole flight and then eating again on the way down. I think he liked the noise that the plane made.

How cute is he! I love the Mickey Mouse ears. We bought him the infant size hat, but it still didn't fit his small little head. He didn't mind wearing it though, which was fun for us!

Ryan, Emily, and Natalie at Goofy's House...just checking the mail.

Mickey's Home

Aren't we so cute together! I love the quirkiness of Toon Town!

Fun Storybook Land

Ryan and Preston chillin' in the hotel room. We had a neat suite that has two rooms and then a living room with a kitchen and dining area. It made it fun to be so close and have a common area to just hang out at night or in the mornings with each other.

For some reason I really loved this hat!

More Toon Town.

There was a 60-90 minute wait to see the Tangled Princess...and I wasn't about to wait that long for a picture, but I thought that this was cute how the added her hair into the buildings outside.

Fun little lamp post

Dad, Emily, and Preston!

And finally, all of us together on the last day!

There were a couple of things that I found amazing! First of all, the World of Color. At night in California Adventure they did a production called the World of Color. They used water, lighting, and all sorts of projected scenes from disney movies along with some great music. I don't really know how to describe it, but highly suggest that if you get the chance to go to Disney to go see it! Second, Disney has a place called the Baby Care Center. It is a building with a breast feeding area, diaper changing area, a kitchen where you can warm up bottles or baby food...high chairs for feeding and little tables, small toilets for potty training children, and then a little play area for lost children. Needless to say, I spent lots of time there and was very grateful for such a quiet place to get away and take care of Preston. Disney is amazing! Last of all, the rides were fun and then sun was great...but most of the fun came from being with family for that week!

Love the Surf: Huntington Beach

The first day we were in California we went down to Huntington Beach. We wish we would've gotten there sooner so that we could rent surf boards or boogie boards to play in the water, but we did get to see a beautiful sunset and eat at the restaurant on the pier. This was a great way to start our vacation!

 Isn't this a great shot of the pier! The waves were really beautiful at night. It was fun to see some of the night surfers out doing their thing too.

We got Preston all ready to go in the water, but then once we got in I thought that it might be a little cold. We dipped his feet in a little bit, but for the most part he stayed out with Grandpa.

 Jumping the waves!

 Emily got torn down a little bit after one hard big wave. Some of the waves were quite strong!

 Preston was out when we got to the beach...but he was dressed ready to get wet.

Love the glasses!

Yeah! Preston is happy at the beach!
