All about Preston: January 2008

I only have 1 more week until I go back to work full time. I really enjoyed my time with Preston these few months but I have been itching to go back to work. I really have new respect for stay home moms. I think it's so much harder to stay home with your baby than to go to work. I am sure when the time comes, I am going to be really sad to leave him. Thankfully, my mother-in-law will watch Preston until he can go to the daycare.

I started him on some rice cereal this week. He did okay but I don't think he likes it too much. He gives me the funniest face! lol. Lately, he's been really into touching and grabbing things. The other day, he insisted that he hold the bottle and feed himself so I let him... Only if he can burp himself... lol

Here are some pictures...

Sorry, it's been awhile since I updated. We were busy traveling ove the holidays. With much thought , I decided to take Preston up to Vancouver, BC for the holidays to see Henry's family. Up to now, I have been very strict about Preston being out and about, but my pediatrician thought it would be okay as long as Preston was not around sick adults or babies.

We had a great time and Preston did so well on his first trip out of the country. He did not cry or get fussy meeting new people. He just smiled and seem to enjoy all the attention he got.

He is doing GREAT! We had our 4 month (adjusted) and 6 month (acutal) appointment and he is now 15 pounds!!! He was little cranky from all the shots (he got 4 shots total including the flu shot) so he is sleeping right now.

Oh- forgot to mention, we had a 3rd opinion at the children's hospital regarding when is the best time to get his hip surgery and the 3rd doctor also recommended that we wait until he is 9 months adjusted. We are now okay about waiting and just enjoying our little boy till the cast time.
Here are some pictures from the past weeks.
