HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Matthew Dear

TODAY IS MATT'S 25th BIRTHDAY!

He will spend all the live long day at school and in the dungeon of knowledge...

well...


almost.

I love him

As most people do, when using paper/plastic disposable cups we write our names on the side in permanent marker, so that we know whose is whose. Well, lets just say my ever-so-charming husband took that small tradition and made it into tradition of laughter, and the highlight of my week ...

Ahh ... I love him.

And for those of you who don't care about this hilarious event, nor that I am now one cup short of a full set, here are pictures of Preston for your enjoyment. :)

Craby Monday

Preston has had a rough couple of days. Teething, being sick and whatnot. Thus Matt and I have had a rough couple days. Despite all the fussing and nap skipping we managed to capture a few of the best moments and even had a little photo shoot. Of course Preston wouldn't smile ... until daddy came home.

Happy 7 Months Preston!

Here are our fall favorites.

Preston loves the song "Give Said the Little Stream" by Insideout. It's his happy song. He is gangster with daddy a lot. His favorite spot is outside. He would rather be on the floor scooting than being held (unless he is tired). He is growing his eye teeth now ... soon we will feed him steak (Jessica). He still sings himself to sleep at night. He is always so happy when dad gets home. He is bigger than his friend Brady, and is three months younger. His favorite time of day is bath time. And he is still working on crawling ... any day now, any day.

His stats: 30" tall (2.5 feet!!)
25.5 pounds
both of which are above the 97th percentile for his age
and he is in the 50th percentile (average) ...
for a 12 month old.

We love our little man.
