Christmas morning breakfast

We had a delightful Christmas here in Eugene with my mom, sister, brother, sister-in-law, aunt and grandma. Preston loved the Christmas tree, especially pulling the ornaments off and then trying to put them back on. He also enjoyed playing with many new toys (thank you!). Now we just will have to find a place to put all of them! Anyway, here is a video of Preston eating in the morning.

Here is a video of Preston opening a present. I will add more videos and pictures soon!

Preston is 11 months old!

Preston is now 11 months old and the days keep flying by especially during the holiday season! We are enjoying every minute of him growing up. He is as curious as ever as he is into everything! He is babbling more and more and he is starting to say more words. He said "bye-bye Dada" about two weeks ago and he still says mama, mom, daddy and ball. He has also started standing on his own and he took his first steps right before Thanksgiving. He still crawls or scoots almost everywhere but he will take a few (up to 5 steps) toward something. His teeth and jaw are quite strong as he bites/ eats everything including pieces off my leather wallet, any cardboard, paper, and anything else he can find. As he is growing taller, he is starting to pull things off our desk and he tries to climb on anything he can. He loves bath time and crawls and splash around the bathtub. He has also figured out how to throw a ball. He weighed 22 pounds 8 ounces and was 30 3/4 inches long!

He loves sitting in the little rocker

Standing on his own!
