Preston's First Dentist Appointment

Today my big boy had his first dentist appointment. He did okay but really didn't like laying down in the chair even though they had "Cars" playing on the ceiling. I ended up having to hold him facing me and then lay him back into the dentists lap for a short cleaning and fluoride treatment. He was pretty good but wasn't so sure about the whole thing so he often clenched his teeth closed so she couldn't get his teeth. After some bribing with a balloon he finally opened a little and said "ahh". I should have gotten a picture during the cleaning but forgot so here he is in the car with his toy and balloon.

He is growing up so fast!

Preston's Latest Thing

About 2 weeks ago Preston decided it would be more fun to have his clothes off than on. This includes his diaper, which is very scary for me. It is driving me crazy to have Preston all dressed and ready to go and then find that he has taken everything off and I have to get him ready again. Usually he will go off by himself or go under the table because he knows it is a no-no. Yesterday he woke up from his nap, took off his clothes and his diaper and peed in his bed. I had no idea he was even awake until I heard him cry and yell "MAMA!" I think he freaked himself out that he was suddenly all wet. I am hoping this will get him to never do it again. I'm afraid this may be wishful thinking.
In the meantime, he is the cutest little shirtless boy I've ever seen.

Eating dinner and mesmerized by a show.

"What? I'm an angel."

It's a BOY!

We were so anxious for today to find out if we are having a little boy or a girl. I was convinced it was a girl but Aaron said he'd been having doubts this last week about having a girl and really thought it could be a boy. He was right! We found out that this little one is going to be a BOY! I was (and still am) in complete shock. I even asked the ultrasound tech if he was sure, like 100% sure. He said he was. We are so excited for Preston to have a little brother and cannot wait to meet this little boy! Boys are the best!

Preston is 2!!

Preston turned 2 on Monday March 5, 2012. We had already had his party on Saturday but decided that in honor of his birth day we would go to dinner at Chevy's. It was definitely more for Aaron and I because Preston of course didn't really care about eating out. He was happy to play on the floor by our table with his new doggy monster truck and climb all over us.
After dinner we had a cupcake for him and we really were looking forward to watching him blow out his candles. We thought for sure he wouldn't be shy with just his parents watching but he refused to blow out the candles!


Yum! Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!!!

Relaxing

Preston makes me laugh with how relaxed he looks watching TV.

Valentine's Day

We had a very low-key Valentine's Day which was just perfect this year. We weren't really planning on doing anything on actual Valentine's Day but I decided I wanted to go to dinner so we brought Preston with us to Chili's. I did call ahead seating so we got right in! It was a dream. Preston was pretty good overall and we really enjoyed being together. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have these two boys in my life.

Unfortunately I only got a picture with one of my Valentine's.

Tractor Riding

Preston loves his tractor that he got from Grandpa and Grandma Carter for Christmas.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
