First dip in the Gulf

My favorite part of the day is when Steve gets home from work & we hop in the car with little P & go watch the sunset on the beach. We usually try to do this a few times a week. Well it's been super toasty out during the day so it heats the water up nice & warm for us in the evening. It's been looking pretty tempting to just jump in, so we wore our swim attire this weekend to do just that! If I would have been thinking I would've put Preston in his little swim trunks too, as it ended up being his first dip in the ocean!

                                    Prestons tiny little toes feeling salt water for the first time

                                                                    I think he liked it!

              Here's that jump in the water that I've been craving. I was sans Preston for this :)

 That little dot on the left of the picture? It's Steve snorkeling. He lasted only a couple of minutes before coming back in due to getting "a creepy feeling" while out there... I think somebodys been watching too many shark shows!

The first time our little guy felt the sand under his feet

                                                          He's just taking everything in

                After playing at the beach it was time for a bath. I just love this naked chubby baby!

Bad hair day?

Who woulda thought that my little 10 week old baby boy could have a bad hair day? It made me chuckle last week when I was in a hurry to leave so Steve was helping by making sure everything was in the diaper bag. As me & Preston were headed out the door Steve was listing off what he put in there & the last item was a comb. Hehehe, I already have to travel with a comb?!? :)

My perfect kind of morning. Clean house, book, cup of creamer with a dash of coffee... sun shining in & my precious sleeping baby in my lap. It makes my heart happy.

The joy of the coo

Preston has really started cooing & smiling alot these last couple of weeks! It is just the most exciting thing for Steve & I! He'll concentrate really hard on your face & especially your mouth when you're talking. We just cannot get enough of it! It's actually pretty hard to capture on video because as soon as he spots the camera or phone he'll stare away at that & forget all about the conversation he was having with us! Silly little boy!

A few videos

Here are a few videos that I think are so precious!

Enjoy!

Visitors

We have been so lucky to have to have some loved ones come down to visit us & meet Preston. Here are some pics of his Kansas City family that he's already gotten to meet.

                  Lori & Claire were our next visitors. It's amazing the difference just a few months makes
                                                                   when they're this little!

                                        I may not have let her hold him as much as she'd like...
                                                             I'm still not ready to share him.

 
                                                       Happy cousins Addy & Macey.
                                          The girls brought soooo much energy to the house!

I can't believe how quick he's growing!

Well I've been doing a pretty poor job of keeping up on this blog so far... I just can't get enough of my little guy! I just want to hold him & look at him & admire every single little movement & sound he makes! So, that's why I've had such a hard time keeping up to date on posts.
I really can't believe how much the cliche is true...  They (babies) really are such little miracles & you really can't describe how great the feeling of motherhood is until you experience it. It really is great so far, I just cannot get enough of him! So much so that I actually like the smell of his sour milk neck & dirty diapers... Is that so wrong?
Well he sure has changed alot since the last post, so I'm putting up a plethera of pictures to get up to date & see all the changes he's already made in his short 7 weeks of life!

                                                       His first photo shoot on the beach

                                                         Such a happy baby after a bath

                                                     Love that squishy, skinny little face

                                                                          Got Milk?

                                                    
                                                   Such a big yawn for such a little guy
