I gotta start taking pictures again! Time is flying by too fast & I've been much too lazy with my camera.

This morning, my little guy looked so happy laying on the changing table, I just had to run & grab my camera to snap a few. He actually thought my camera was funny (with all the shutter speed noises). Above him (the off-white blanket) is his favorite blanket, known affectionately as "Bebe" - Bebe goes EVERYWHERE with Preston, we're in big trouble when Bebe needs to take a bath in the washing machine.

Preston is now 16 1/2 months old... He has 7 teeth & three 1-year molars popping through. The boy can TALK & he actually speaks very well for a 16 month old. He even puts words together "what's that?", "where's Dada?" etc., when I answer him, he always replies "oh". If I had to guess, I would say that he could say well over 50-60+ words (which is actually on the advanced side - I'm going to toot my kids horn right now, ok?). He's been talking for a long time too & we really don't have any problems communicating with him. I'm personally impressed by this, because Aubree was much slower in the talking department. I think she was about 22 months when her verbal skills really kicked in.

We've started potty training Preston & he's done very well (Aubree was day-potty trained at 18 months). We haven't quite worked on him peeing in the toilet (although he has), we primarily are concentrating on him doing his #2 on the toilet. He's really catching on & will tell us when he has to go on the toilet. He's had very few accidents since our training started a couple months ago. I'm not really into changing the poopy diapers - who is?? Hahaha! So, if I can get this going 100% I will start on the day-time potty training & hopefully he'll just be in pull-ups at night, maybe towards the end of the year (which would be nice because by then I'll have another baby's diapers I gotta start changing!).

Preston loves any type of ball & has a collection of about 25-30. He throws balls very well, kicks them, kinda catches them... He's a total sports guy! He even likes watching any type of sports event on TV, that has balls & he'll sit there & say "Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball!" when the golfer is about to hit the ball, the baseball player throws the ball, etc. For now, that's his thing & I'm perfectly happy with him being a sports-guy! :)

Preston is also majorly obsessed with Albert (University of FL's mascot), anything green, alligator/crocodile/dragon looking is "Albert". He says Albert about 100 times a day. He also says Aubree a lot too (pronounces the "r" and all)! He also calls her sister & he's obsessed with her too. They're pretty cute together - anyway... That's my Preston update, because it's been awhile. I'll have to do an Aubree one too, but another time.

Oh... his eyes are still that green/blue/hazel color (changes with his surrounding colors), he's about 27 pounds (only 6 1/2 lbs lighter than Aubree) & oh... I can't even think about his height, maybe a little over 2 1/2 feet! :) I'll have to update that later.
