Bath Time

P-Dub waits for his bottle after another big-boy bath.

Teeth

Baby's got his first little tooth poking through. He was chewing on my hand and then I felt something, so I took a look and sure 'nough there's a little tiny white bit. Consequently, P-Dub is kinda bummin'.

daddy day

the dub &i just wanted to take a minute to publicly acknowledge the coolness that is the dub's daddy who--even on his day--is out watering the garden way too early in the morning.

give the guy his props.

A Day in the Life

After an undocumented morning...

PDub has a little lunch

It's so hot that...

we hung out in diapers most of the day

and then...

we had our first bath in the big-boy tub!

	So Preston turned five months old this last Sunday.We didn't do too much--watched Firefly and did a little shopping. I can't believe he's five months old. I'm realizing that he's going to turn into a person. He's going to prefer a toy across the room to the one he has in his hand and he's going to want to stay up late. He's going to fall and hurt himself and he's going to laugh until he falls down (and maybe hurt himself, and laugh some more... and you get the idea).	Anyway, it's just amazing to see him grow and change. He's the most wonderful baby (EVER!).

Mom? My hair's growing in funny.

Jumperoo

"Yeah I'm playing with my Jumperoo."

"I'm a baby. It's what we do."

Wow! He can almost stand on his own.

Preston Reads About Babies

Preston uses his high chair

These pictures are from last night.

Preston plays with his toys while mom and dad eat	Then it's his turn. That first spoonfull is always the hardest
But eventually...	He gets it all over himself

overnight with abuelita

alas, no pictures, but the dub did have his first overnight parents-free experience on friday night. we hear it went pretty well with lots of running around in diapers and a couple of fun walks in the stroller (two things he doesn't get much of with mom and dad).

for our part, we also had a good time (although i suspect the dub and abuelita may have had a better time) out at the grand lodge in forest grove just a few miles out of town.

Holding his own bottle

For very short periods of time before he flings it about the room.
