Preston's six month check up and random stuff

Preston has been working on sitting up and squealing. Yes that is right squealing...he thinks it is the coolest thing that he can do with his voice. He is smiling and laughing now which is so much fun!

One morning Preston woke up with a Binky stuck to the side of his face. He turned to look at me and there it was...i could not help but laugh. He didn't even seem to mind or notice it. We had to get a picture.

Preston's favorite toy at the moment. He even falls asleep with it.


around 1/11/2010 he finally could sit up for a few seconds when we sat him up. Davin's hand was waiting for his famous tip over.

On 1/13/2010 Preston finally was sitting up for more like 2 minutes at a time so we didn't have to sit right next to him.

He was so proud!

Davin thought it was way funny when Preston thought he could drink out of the Dr Pepper bottle. lol

on 1/28/2010 (the day after his six month check up) he was able to start baby food! He made this terrible face when he first took a spoonful.....

then he just couldn't get enough of it. He is like a little bird he keeps his mouth wide open for more!

At the end of January he is still practicing his sitting skills with a pillow behind for protection against those unexpected falls backwards.

Oh and his 6 month stats are

Height: 90th percentile, 28 1/2 inches

Weight: 70th percentile, 18.12 pounds

His Head was: 75th percentile

So he has a big head oh darn lol. Hope that means he will be super smart! He is tall and pretty thin. We love him so much and are so glad that he is a happy healthy little guy!

Oh this is a video of Preston making his various noises including his current high pitched squealing that drives us crazy....;-) well i couldn't get it to work i will try again later...

opps....christmas in michigan

Well i guess i am a little slow at posting these days.
This Christmas we flew out to Michigan just like last Christmas so we could be around family. We were in Michigan from the 18th of December till the 2nd of January. I think we were in Michigan too long because at the end of vacation we just didn't want to leave. I guess my blog is more of a photo journal. Also sorry but i am too lazy to put them in date order. lol here we go......


Just Preston and i at my parents house after the long trip to Michigan from Utah. He was a tired little guy. He hardly slept at all because the airport was just soo interesting....he loved watching all the people going here and there. He was really good for the flight too he mainly slept.

Flying over Utah! So pretty.


Happy baby on the plane!

Preston loved hanging out with his Grandpa Burke.

Amy wore my dad's head light when she needed to finish packing her stuff from her room because Preston was sleeping in there and she didn't want to turn on the over head light and wake him. What a good auntie. Oh and she was packing to go back to school in Idaho.

Preston loved being carried around by his Grandpa Burke. Notice the drool spot on my dad's shoulder?.....he pretty much always had a wet spot on his shoulder from Preston.

Long time Friends of Davin's.

Fun with grandpa Jarvinen

The majority of Davin's family that is in Michigan. Davin's mom and dad had everyone over....it was a full house!! Even though 3 of the siblings were not there because they are out of state!

Preston's Uncle Jeremy....ya preston has skills.

Preston loved meeting his Grandma Jarvinen. She held him and rocked him...happy boy!

Christmas day dinner at my parents house....Davin's parents came over too. Davin decided that Preston needed to close his mouth lol

Christmas day dinner....yumm. Seth and Megan were in Michigan too for Christmas.

Preston crying on Christmas....Davin just wanted to point out that his shirt said "my First Christmas"

Davin's wonderful friends that were at the time expecting their first little boy.

My dad was walking around with Preston as usual and one of Preston's socks fell off. My dad couldn't find the sock so he decided to put one of his socks on Preston. lol Preston didn't seem to mind.

Preston is eating solid foods!

This picture makes me laugh. Davin was feeding Preston and Preston was just staring at Davin and holding his finger....i think for some moral support. lol

Preston started eating solid foods in December. He did very well with his soupy rice cereal. He was very concentrated on his eating it was cute! We started him on the rice cereal when he was 4 months and a week. His doctor said that he is a big guy and needed more than just formula for his tummy to stay full and happy ;-)

family christmas pictures!! and preston's 4 month check up

We schedualed our christmas pictures at 10 am and his 4 month check up at 2 pm all on december 1st. Made for a long day! We won't make that mistake again that is for sure!

Preston's stats for his four month check up were:

Height: 25 3/4 inches which is the 75th percentile

Weight: 15 lbs 9 oz which is the 60th percentile

Head size: 42.7 cm which is the 80th percentile

So his growing is starting to level out since he is no longer in the 90th percentile.
