P&A

Here are some of the latest happenings with Preston and Aedan...

Preston:
Turned 28 months old on Nov 22nd. Doesn't he looks so grown up now? He is getting taller and is now my little preschooler, more than a toddler! Anyway, he is such a sweetheart and a mischievous little turkey, as well. :) Lately he loves to drive me crazy by taking any chair, box, or object that will allow him to reach up high to places he isn't allowed to go...like, the counter top, the table, and turning on lights/fans. He's very quick and sneaky! Preston enjoys singing songs like 'Old McDonald', 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star', 'Wheels on the Bus', and 'ABCs' to name a few. He is always mesmerized by dancing. If he sees someone (esp a kid) dancing on tv he is glued and then tries to imitate them. It's very cute. He is a boy through and through. He enjoys making messes, throwing balls, playing with cars, and rough-housing. He hasn't been as shy, lately, around other people. Preston has been giving the BEST hugs. He'll say, "Big hug!" and squeeze you tight. I love it! He totally repeats many things we say...and that can catch me off guard. :) Lately he says "Umm" and "Okay" a lot. Like if I give him a choice of something to eat or do he'll pause after I ask him and say, "Umm" while he's thinking of what he wants. Preston is also a little helper. He likes to do everything himself and if he sees Aedan getting into something he says, "No, no, Aedan!" and tries to boss him around. He really does love Aedan, though. He gives him hugs and tries to help him if he's crying. He's a good big brother!





Aedan:
Will be 8 months old on Dec 2nd! He is officially sitting, unsupported, as of last week. And he is all over the place! He's not crawling, but he scoots on his tummy...sorta does an army crawl...and rolls everywhere. This kid is attracted to electronics and power cords. Just like his older brother was at this age. Aedan really enjoys eating food and can handle puffs pretty well. He is still breastfeeding. I plan to breastfeed until about 12 months like I did Preston. This kid does not sleep well! He doesn't sleep through the night. At least not like Preston did. I guess I was spoiled by Preston being a good sleeper. :) He still wakes up at least 3 times a night and usually ends up in our room and in our bed by the end of the night. I'm all about whatever gets me some sleep! Because of this, he does tend to fall asleep, randomly, during the day. He has fallen alseep in his jumper and yesterday he fell asleep while I was feeding him dinner in his high chair. It was hilarious! I have pictures of that below. Aedan has a mouth full of teeth! He has 4 bottom teeth and 4 top teeth. He seriously got those 4 top teeth all at the same time. It's cute to see how different he looks now that some full teeth are in. Aedan remains a sweet, smiley baby. He is very social and loves attention. I love to see how he is growing and interacting more with Preston. He has the cutest expressions and laughs a lot. I can't believe how fast he is growing!

Penni - the boys are adorable. I can't believe how much they have grown. I hope to one day actually meet them in person.
