Here are some things that Preston has done lately...
Some of you know I am a carrier for Muscular Dystrophy. We are having Preston tested on Tuesday at the local MD clinic which is at Cook Children's Neurology Dept. to see if he has MD. I am a carrier of Becker's MD (it's what my dad has). We could choose to wait until later to have him tested since it usually doesn't manifest until at least school age, but we'd rather know earlier just to know. There is no cure and not really any treatments...but it couldn't hurt to be informed. I'll definitely keep everyone posted! He'll go Tuesday, but it's a blood test...so I'm not sure exactly how long it takes to get the lab work back.
Anyway, we are really enjoying our little man! He is so much fun. :)
what a face
loving bathtime!
*We were over visiting a friend today and he rolled from his back to his stomach and then from his stomach to his back within a few seconds. He hadn't done that yet. He' been moving around quicker every day!
*He now kicks his feet vigorously in the water while taking a bath and likes to play with his bath toys. He has always enjoyed baths, but usually sits there content while I bathe him. Now he's realizing there's more to do.
*Today I had just opened a granola bar and then picked him up to take him into another room and he immediately grabbed a big handful (well, little handful...bc his hands are small) of my granola bar! Guess I really have to be careful about carrying around anything extra now.
*He is starting to make more sounds and babbling using m's and d's and h's. If I think about it I'll try and get some videos posted soon.
