they grow so fast
















So Preston is 8 months old and he is trying to walk and crawl at the same time. He keeps pulling himself up anywhere he can. I'm constantly walking around the house with him holding my hands and he tries to chase after the kids. He is also rocking while on his hands and knees and yesterday he was able to move but it was backwards and it made him mad. He was trying to get to a toy but got farther away from it.
He gets on his hands and knees and starts yelling at me since he is not going anywhere. He is figuring out how to get back to sitting from that position and he balls his hands into fists and shakes while growling in frustration.
It'll be nice in a way when he finally gets it cuz then he won't be frustrated and crying all the time but then I will be even more frustrated or at least for a diff reason. He won't be one to stay out of things and ther eare plenty of things for him to get into here...

Wow, he's huge! He looks so happy! Morgan just learned how to sit up! I know, she's a little behind. She lays on her tummy and just the last day or two has learned that she can get up on her knees so we're getting closer. Maybe if she ever touched the floor she would learn faster! They do get so big so fast, it's sad. How's life? Going crazy yet?

He is little Mr. Independant
He was cuddly at first but not so much any more. Half the time I have to feed him and lay him down awake or he thinks he can play or he just fights me. So he is on the floor alot. I still have to be within sight if not right next to him

Wasn't it just last week that he was born and a tiny little snuggly baby? And what is this, you posting again? Glad to see you back. Hope that your tooth is feeling better! That really sucks! Are you sure that you don't want to drive all the way out here every morning to exercise??? Hope you are good out there!
